### v1beta1 Deprecation

<Warning>
  The v1beta1 versions of Task, TaskRun, Pipeline, and PipelineRun are deprecated as of release v0.50.0.
</Warning>

The v1beta1 versions of Task, TaskRun, Pipeline, and PipelineRun are deprecated in favor of the v1 versions of these APIs, as of release v0.50.0.

Following the [beta CRD compatibility policy](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/blob/main/api_compatibility_policy.md#beta-crds), the earliest release the v1beta1 versions of these CRDs may be removed is 1 year later, or v0.62.0 (LTS).

The v1beta1 client libraries will be retained until v0.62.0 has reached its end of life, 1 year later. Therefore, the earliest release the client libraries may be removed is v0.74.0, 12 months after v0.62.0.
