Does server version need to align exactly with client version?

[chibbert]

Describe the goal

We're going have many servers running the client which we're not directly in control of.

We'd like to understand whether the server and client versions need to be exactly the same, or whether you're complying with semver .e.g

any 10.X.Y version of server will work with any 10.X.Y version of client?

If not this, are there any rules on forward/backward compatability

Hello,

Yes, latest version of the server should be compatible with any 10.x.y client's version.

As a general rule, if there is a breaking change, I mention it in the release note. As example in https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel/releases/tag/v10.1.0

Excellent! Thank you for confirming.
