You probably don't want to use this directly. A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in [the CHANGELOG](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-googleapis-common/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md). * [Google APIs Common Module Node.js Client API Reference][client-docs] * [github.com/googleapis/nodejs-googleapis-common](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-googleapis-common) Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in [Client Libraries Explained][explained].

Libraries are compatible with all current _active_ and _maintenance_ versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version. Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings: * Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration. * Some security patches and features cannot be backported. * Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date. Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm [dist-tags](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/dist-tag). The dist-tags follow the naming convention `legacy-(version)`. For example, `npm install googleapis-common@legacy-8` installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8. ## Versioning This library follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/). This library is considered to be **stable**. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against **stable** libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
