Prototype Version History

Ouroboros is still in an early proof-of-concept prototype phase. Versions 0.x.y have no forward nor backward compatibility. We bump minor version with API or protocol changes. Within a minor version, different patch levels should be compatible (no guarantees).

Once the functionality has reached a minimal critical mass, and a sufficient degree of software stability has been achieved, a version 1.0.0 will be released with the intention to maintain backwards compatibility from that point. This is still many (man)years off.
