Annotation Type Beta

public @interface Beta

Indicates that this part of the API might be changed in an incompatible way in future releases.

Salt follows the semantic versioning scheme but for classes or functions having this annotation the "no downward compatible changes" promise might not be kept. Normally this function is safe to use and release ready but the interface might change in the future.

If a class has this annotation all functions of this class are implicitly marked with @Beta as well. Implementations of interfaces with a @Beta annnotation will inherit the beta status as well.
