The following table contains our current target release dates for the next two major versions of Angular:
Date | Stable Release | Compatibility
---------------------- | -------------- | -------------
October/November 2019 | 9.0.0 | ^8.0.0
May 2020 | 10.0.0 | ^9.0.0

* **Announcement:** We announce deprecated APIs and features in the [change log](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md "Angular change log"). Deprecated APIs appear in the [documentation](api?status=deprecated) with ~~strikethrough.~~ When we announce a deprecation, we also announce a recommended update path. For convenience, [Deprecations](guide/deprecations) contains a summary of deprecated APIs and features.
* **Deprecation period:** When an API or a feature is deprecated, it will still be present in the [next two major releases](#schedule). After that, deprecated APIs and features will be candidates for removal. A deprecation can be announced in any release, but the removal of a deprecated API or feature will happen only in major release. Until a deprecated API or feature is removed, it will be maintained according to the LTS support policy, meaning that only critical and security issues will be fixed.
