# CockroachDB Feature Availability

export const InternalLink = ({version, path = "", children, ...props}) => {
  let detectedVersion = version || "stable";
  if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && !version) {
    const match = window.location.pathname.match(/\/docs\/([^/]+)/);
    if (match) {
      detectedVersion = match[1];
    }
  }
  const normalizedPath = path.startsWith("/") ? path.slice(1) : path;
  return <a href={`/docs/${detectedVersion}/${normalizedPath}`} {...props}>
      {children}
    </a>;
};

Some CockroachDB features are made available in phases prior to being launched in general availability (GA). This page defines the different levels of CockroachDB feature availability.

This page outlines *feature availability*, which is separate from Cockroach Labs' <InternalLink version="releases" path="release-support-policy">Release Support Policy</InternalLink> or <InternalLink version="stable" path="api-support-policy">API Support Policy</InternalLink>.
