- Release Versioning: Our Hyperledger Besu team is currently proposing switching from Semantic Versioning for Releases to CalVer. Instead of using Major.Minor.Patch, Besu would use Year.Quarter.PatchNumber or Year.Month.PatchNumber. For example, instead of 1.5.2 and 1.6.0 we would have something like 20.3.2 and 20.4.0 or 20.8.2 and 20.10.0. We would like to gain the TSC’s feedback on this change.
Releases
Hyperledger Besu has completed eight bi-weekly patch releases (1.4.6 on 10 Jun, 1.5RC1 on 17 Jun, 1.5-RC2 on 30 Jun, 1.5 on July 15, 1.5.1 RC on 22 Jul, 1.5.1 on 29 Jul, 1.5.2 on 13 Aug, and 1.5.3 on 27 Aug)
