The table on this page lists the maturity levels for |EAI| v|release_version|, based on |NCS| v|ncs_version_number|.
The maturity can change between add-on releases.
See the :ref:`release_notes` for announcements.

Maturity definitions follow the |NCS| categories documented in the :ref:`nrf:software_maturity` page:

* **Supported** -- Implemented, maintained, and suitable for product development.
* **Not supported (--)** -- Not implemented or not maintained for this add-on.
* **Experimental** -- Available for development and evaluation, but not recommended for production.
  Interfaces and behavior may change between releases.
