The annotation conveys following information:
- The API is fairly new and we would appreciate your feedback. For example, what are you missing from the API
to solve your use case (yes, please, real use cases).
- For types or methods that are already released this annotation means that that the API might change.
The chance for that is small and we will always try to make any changes in a backwards compatible way.
The only reason we would want to change it is to provide better support for using and extending Mockito.
-
For types or methods that are not yet released it means the API is work in progress
and can change before release.
