## Helm v3 and v4
Helm v4 is currently under development on the `main` branch. During the development of Helm v4 and for some time after its released, Helm v3 will continue to be supported and developed on the `dev-v3` branch. Helm v3 will continue to get bug fixes and updates for new Kubernetes releases. Helm v4 is where new features and major changes will happen. For features to be backported to Helm v3, an exception will be needed. Bugs should first be fixed on Helm v4 and then backported to Helm v3.

## Support Contract for Helm 2
With Helm 2's current release schedule, we want to take into account any migration issues for users
due to the upcoming holiday shopping season and tax season. We also want to clarify what actions may
occur after the support contract ends for Helm 2, so that users will not be surprised or caught off
guard.
After Helm 2.15.0 is released, Helm 2 will go into "maintenance mode". We will continue to accept
bug fixes and fix any security issues that arise, but no new features will be accepted for Helm 2.
All feature development will be moved over to Helm 3.
6 months after Helm 3.0.0's public release, Helm 2 will stop accepting bug fixes. Only security
issues will be accepted.
12 months after Helm 3.0.0's public release, support for Helm 2 will formally end. Download links
for the Helm 2 client through Google Cloud Storage, the Docker image for Tiller stored in Google
Container Registry, and the Google Cloud buckets for the stable and incubator chart repositories may
no longer work at any point. Client downloads through `get.helm.sh` will continue to work, and we
will distribute a Tiller image that will be made available at an alternative location which can be
updated with `helm init --tiller-image`.

#### Documentation PRs
Documentation PRs will follow the same lifecycle as other PRs. They will also be labeled with the
`docs` label. For documentation, special attention will be paid to spelling, grammar, and clarity
(whereas those things don't matter *as* much for comments in code).
Documentation PRs should be made on the docs repo: <https://github.com/helm/helm-www>. Keeping Helm's documentation up to date is highly desirable, and is recommended for all user facing changes. Accurate and helpful documentation is critical for effectively communicating Helm's behavior to a wide audience.
Small, ad-hoc changes/PRs to Helm which introduce user facing changes, which would benefit from documentation changes, should apply the `docs needed` label. Larger changes associated with a HIP should track docs via that HIP. The `docs needed` label doesn't block PRs, and maintainers/PR reviewers should apply discretion judging in whether the `docs needed` label should be applied.
