Notes

Spec Versioning

The group resumed its discussion on how best to version the cmi5 Specification.

Following language was proposed for versioning in the spec:

Revision History

Versioning in the cmi5 specification is managed in the following manner:

• Major Version – Stones (Sandstone, Quartz, etc.) – Any changes in functionality
• Minor Version – Always zero. There are no minor versions.
• Errata – Minor corrections that do not affect functionality are indicated by serial number (1,2,3 etc.)

The versions of this specification are as follows:

Quartz (June 1, 2016)

Sandstone (May 15, 2015):

• Developer release

Proposals

1. Catapult should bump errata version as spec changes
2. Start with Quartz.0.1 – Roll errata version with every pull request applied.
3. Remove the term "editions" as its use has been problematic for the SCORM specification.

Resulting GitHub Branches

• Quartz (current - main)
• Quartz.0.0 (2016 from ZIP archive)
• Quartz.0.1 (July 2022 From Quartz)
• New Development "Stone" (From Main)

Proposed Next Steps

1. Recreate Quartz.0.0 branch from ZIP archive
2. Update Quartz (current - main) with new versioning scheme
3. Create Quartz.0.1 Branch (July 2022 From Quartz)
4. Deprecate “Releases”
   • Add language indicating the new publishing process and how the releases are now housed as github branches for ease of viewing,etc.
   • Get appropriate language for ADL requirements
5. Update Github IO to explain versions and point to correct GitHub branches
