What is the Go Datadog Trace Library’s version support policy for Go versions?

The Go Datadog Trace Library (dd-trace-go) adheres to a specific version support policy to ensure stability and compatibility. According to the official Datadog documentation, the library fully supports the two most recent major releases of the Go programming language. This policy aligns with the Go project's own release policy, which also supports the two latest major versions. This ensures that developers using recent, stable versions of Go can reliably use the Datadog tracer.

B. This is incorrect. The official policy supports two, not three, major releases of Go.

C. This is incorrect. Support is for the latest two releases, not the second and third latest.

D. This is incorrect. Supporting only the fourth and fifth latest releases would exclude the most current and widely used versions.
