Minimum Supported Versions¶
Keeping with the industry support of Python versions https://www.python.org/downloads/, this package will try to support it’s main dependencies for 5 years.
Dropping support for a dependency version is considered a major change and will result in a major version bump.

Should a supported Sphinx version only work with an unsupported Python version then that Sphinx version will be dropped early. This is in anticipation of possible CI limitations running unsupported versions.

Since Clang seems to be on a 6 month release cycle while Python is on a one year, and that this package uses few features of Clang, this package will most likely continue to support some versions of Clang until the nearest Python version gets removed.
Note
The different Clang versions are not exercised in CI. Most of the Python API for Clang seems pretty stable and as long as the most recent version of Clang keeps working it’s hoped that it will catch most issues.
