I'll update the PR to implement this now. Before bumping the wrapper version, should we create the main branch and use it as the source for Read the Docs, so that the documentation won't be affected by ongoing development? Also, for the first beta release, would we prefer to start with 2.0.0 or 1.3.0? |

Previously, I thought we should limit support to a single CARTA major version, since deprecated frontend APIs could be removed in the next major release. However, now that we have decided carta-python should support multiple frontend API versions, this restriction no longer seems necessary. Because CARTA typically has only a few minor releases within each major version, it makes more sense for a carta-python release to remain compatible with future CARTA versions until an actual breaking change occurs. I also plan to add frontend CI checks to detect such breaking changes. I have updated the code and documentation accordingly. |
