Compatibility Policy

pyVmomi maintains minimum backward compatibility with the previousfour releases ofvSphere and it's own previous four releases.Compatibility with much older versions may continue to work but willnot be actively supported.

For example, version v6.0.0 is most compatible with vSphere 6.0, 5.5, 5.1 and5.0. Initial releases compatible with a version of vSphere will bare a nakedversion number of v6.0.0 indicating that version of pyVmomi was releasedsimultaneously with theGA version of vSphere with the same version number.
