The current version of the spec will be set as version 1.0.0, as a release-candidate.

This means

  • Changes that will require migrations for existing clients to be able to read the file system fully will be major version bumps
  • Additive changes (e.g. adding another file type) will be minor version bumps
  • Changes that don't affect the core data format will be patch version bumps

An implementation that's coded against e.g. version 1.x.x of the spec should be expected to be able to read any filesystem nodes that are on version 1.x.x.

An open question: Should an implementation that's coded against version 1.0.0 of the spec be able to write another revision to a file that's on version 1.1.0? And what version should that file have? Version 1.1.0 or version 1.0.0?
