TL;DR; At the end of Jan 2021, all tracks will enter v3 staging mode. Updates will no longer sync with the current live website, but instead sync with the staging website. The CFML section of the v3 repo will be extracted and PR'd into this track (if appropriate). Further issues and information will follow over the coming weeks to prepare CFML for the launch of v3.

Over the last 12 months, we've all been hard at work developing Exercism v3. Up until this point, all v3 tracks have been under development in a single repository - the v3 repository. As we get close to launch, it is time for us to explode that monorepo back into the normal track repos. Therefore, at the end of this month (January 2021), we will copy the v3 tracks contents from the v3 repository back to the corresponding track repositories.

As v3 tracks are structured differently than v2 tracks, the current (v2) website cannot work with v3 tracks. To prevent the v2 website from breaking, we'll disable syncing between track repositories and the website. This will effectively put v2 in maintenance mode, where any changes in the track repos won't show up on the website. This will then allow tracks to work on preparing for the Exercism v3 launch.

Where possible, we will script the changes needed to prepare tracks for v3. For any manual changes that need to be happening, we will create issues on the corresponding track repositories. We will be providing lots of extra information about this in the coming weeks.

We're really excited to enter the next phase of building Exercism v3, and to finally get it launched! 🙂

As of today, the website has entered maintenance mode.

With Exercism v3 just being released, tracks are no longer in maintenance mode and are active again.
This means that changes made to this track will once again show on the website.

Thanks for being patient with us and enjoy Exercism v3!
