PSA version 1.2 and PNA version 0.7 specifications released

[Andy Fingerhut]

As I write this on 2022-Dec-22, the links to the releases on the P4.org specifications page still shows Portable Switch Architecture (PSA) version 1.1 and Portable NIC Architecture (PNA) version 0.5 as the latest releases, but I expect that those will be updated by early in Jan of 2023.

Specifications « P4 – Language Consortium

Until then, the "Working draft" link for PSA points at the new version 1.2, and for PNA points at the new version 0.7.

Here is a link to the revision history section for PSA version 1.2, with a summary of changes made since version 1.1 (released Nov 2018!).  These are fairly small changes: P4~16~ Portable Switch Architecture (PSA)

Here is a link to the revision history section for PNA version 0.7, with a summary of changes made since version 0.5.  Some of these are significant changes: P4 Portable NIC Architecture (PNA)

The PNA spec is still pre-1.0, and we expect to have another pre-1.0 release in April 2023.  If you are interested in participating or following along more often, please see the README in this repository for further details: p4lang/pna: Portable NIC Architecture (github.com)
