Status and Development

Versions and Attribution

Many people are expected to contribute to Mosaic and as a result there are various divergent viewpoints as to how Mosaic ought to be. As a result, we label this edition as the Mike Dilger edition. You will see this at the bottom of every page. Other Mosaic contributors can fork this and maintain their own editions. The community will eventually settle on something because people want to be compatible.

Version numbers have MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format which carry the following meaning:

  • MAJOR: This is a breaking change. Software should support all major versions.
  • MINOR: Functionality has changed. But this is not a breaking change.
  • PATCH: Something has changed, but it is not a functional change.

Major Version 0 is pre-release. There will be a long series of breaking changes in version 0 without updating the major version from 0. Any deployments should be for testing purposes, be considered provisional and expect breaking changes.

Version 1.x will be the first stabilized and frozen release. All future versions are intended to support it for backwards compatibility.
