As such, +it implements the Iceberg REST API, Polaris Management API and the Generic Tables API. + +Revisions of the Iceberg REST API are controlled by the [Apache Iceberg](https://iceberg.apache.org/) +community. Polaris attempts to accurately implement the most recent version of this specification, +which is available at the time of Polaris releases. + +The Polaris Management API is maintained as a versioned REST API. New releases of Polaris may +include changes to the current version of the Management API. When that happens those changes +are intended to be compatible with prior versions of Polaris clients. + +In case a major change is required to the Management API that cannot be implemented in a +backward-compatible way, a new version of the API will be introduced.
