CeloHT Versioning Policy

Overview

CeloHT follows a transparent and structured versioning system to track improvements, changes, and releases across its documentation, software, smart contracts, and community initiatives.

Our versioning approach helps developers, contributors, partners, and community members understand the evolution of the CeloHT ecosystem.

Version Format

CeloHT uses Semantic Versioning principles:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Example:

v1.2.3

Where:

  • MAJOR: Major changes that introduce significant updates or breaking changes.
  • MINOR: New features, improvements, or important additions that maintain compatibility.
  • PATCH: Bug fixes, security improvements, and minor updates.

Version Categories

Documentation Versions

Used for:

  • Wiki updates
  • Technical documentation
  • Governance documents
  • Community resources

Example:

v1.0.0

Initial official documentation release.

Software Versions

Applied to:

  • CeloHT dApp
  • Web platforms
  • Developer tools
  • Integrations

Example:

v2.1.0

A release adding new functionality without breaking existing features.

Smart Contract Versions

Smart contracts follow strict version control:

  • Contract source code changes
  • Security updates
  • Deployment records
  • Audit history

Every contract release must include:

  • Version number
  • Deployment information
  • Network details
  • Changelog entry

Release Process

Each official release follows these steps:

  1. Development and internal testing
  2. Community review when applicable
  3. Security verification
  4. Documentation update
  5. Public release announcement

Release Types

Stable Release

A production-ready version recommended for users and partners.

Beta Release

A testing version allowing contributors to provide feedback.

Development Release

An experimental version used for building and testing new features.

Changelog Requirement

Every important release must include:

  • New features
  • Improvements
  • Bug fixes
  • Security changes
  • Known limitations

See:

CHANGELOG.md

Backward Compatibility

CeloHT aims to maintain compatibility across ecosystem components whenever possible.

Breaking changes must:

  • Be documented clearly
  • Include migration instructions
  • Receive community communication before deployment

Transparency Commitment

All important version updates are publicly documented to ensure trust, accountability, and open collaboration within the CeloHT ecosystem.
