React Components / v9 (@fluentui/react-components)

Describe the feature that you would like added

Right now we use pre-release versions starting 9.0.0-alpha.0 for v9 packages creation flow which is exposed to public via our suite package (@fluentui/react-components ) via /unstable import path.

After receiving feedback from consumers we will change this approach to properly follow semver in all phases of our development/release cycle.

What's gonna change:

• we will no longer use prerelease versioning nor add/expose those apis via /unstable path from react-components suite
• all new v9 packages will embrace following approach
  • 0.x.x versioning scheme
  • -preview suffix within name ( eg: @fluentui/[email protected] )
• all existing v9 packages that are already released as unstable with pre-release version will embrace following approach:
  • TBA
• going from unstable(preview) to stable
  • existing preview package will be renamed by removing the -preview suffix ( eg: @fluentui/react-lightstaber-preview -> @fluentui/react-lightstaber
  • package will be released as stable 9.0.0 and it will be available from within react-components suite

Have you discussed this feature with our team
