Page Comparison

Every Besu documentation version (including patch) is tagged in the repository, but the published documentation site only contains the three latest minor versions and the in-flight development version are displayed in the published documentation site (for example: development, 23.10.2, 23.7.3, and 23.4.1).latest version – that is, new documentation is published as features are released.

Document version-specific information

We recommend most users upgrade to the latest version of Besu (especially on Mainnet), but for some enterprise use cases, it might be helpful to include version-specific information in the documentation. For example, if a new JSON-RPC method qbft_getPendingVotes  is released with version 24.9.0, add something like the following to the method description. This informs enterprise users whether their version of Besu supports the new method.
