| Forwards Compatibility | ||
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
|
|
||
| We aim for at least a one minor-version compatibility window between running | ||
| workflows and **older** Cylc clients. | ||
|
|
||
| For example, if a workflow is running under 8.7.0, we would expect to be able | ||
| to view and interact with this workflow using **older** versions of the GUI, | ||
| Tui or command line back to Cylc 8.6.0. | ||
|
|
||
| For the best support, you are encouraged to always use the most recent Cylc | ||
| client. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This was not mentioned in cylc/cylc-flow#7274 and hasn't yet been agreed, however, I think it's a reasonable summary of the status quo.
