Will OpenLayers 4 change its v3 api?

Question

I am developing a big software using OpenLayers 2.13.1. I am estimating migrating the software to 3.8.2 version, but it seems that version 4 is right around the corner, and i am concerned if it will change all api again.

Does anybody know about it?

Answer 1

The following links document changes:

• https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/blob/master/changelog/v4.0.0.md
• https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/229046/openlayers-4-differences-from-3-x

Answer 2

There is no plans for a version 4 (major revision with breaking changes) of OpenLayers.

Major version 3 Minor version 8 (There was 8 release with new features) Revision version 2 (Bug Fixes)

After 8 comes 9,10,11,12,13 and so on...
