Public API

ddtrace respects Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.

Classes, modules, and methods marked as part of the public API will not introduce breaking changes outside of a major version release.

Objects that belong to the public API are marked with the @public_api YARD documentation tag. When navigating ddtrace's YARD documentation, public API objects will have an explicit banner informing the user that they are part of the public API contract.

Objects not marked with the @public_api tag are not part of the public API contract, and thus considered internal to ddtrace. These objects can receive breaking changes in minor and patch releases.
