<li>MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and</li>
<li>PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
WPGraphQL uses <a href="https://appsero.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Appsero</a> SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster and make product improvements.

I operate a large blog that uses WordPress as a headless CMS with a Next.JS frontend, which is largely enabled by this plugin. Let me just say first that creating an entire alternative third-party data API is an ambitious undertaking and I appreciate all the work the authors have put into it.



But as a developer I have to throw out a word of caution that this plugin often has major bugs that can have critical impact on your production website. For example after a recent minor update  we discovered a bug where any URL with a special character in it started returning a 404, causing several of our pages to suddenly become unavailable to users and delisted from Google, and this went on for many months before we realized it.



There have been many similar instances. My general approach is to lean more on WordPress's REST API over time which is more reliable since it's maintained by the WordPress team, and only use WPGraphQL when it's necessary.



Also recommend turning off auto-updates and test your website extremely thoroughly after any upgrade.

Thank you for this plugin. Building my headless application with WPGraphQL is fun. 
The repl interface to test queries is A+.
