Hi all,

I'm looking to implement OCFL in a project and would like to base it on the most recent version.

Looking at the notes from the last community call it states that movement towards OCFL v2 is the primary driver of current activity and that some organizations are already refactoring towards it.

However, I can't find any v2.0 branches in the Github repo or links/references to a v2.0 draft anywhere. Am I missing it in plain sight somewhere?

Cheers,

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your interest OCFL. You’re not missing anything - the 2.0 spec is still in flight, with the related issues being discussed under the https://github.com/OCFL/spec/milestone/4 label. If any of those resonate with you please chime in! We’re always looking for feedback from practitioners, especially as it relates to future needs.

Okay, super, thanks. I see the Milestone 4 list and will take a closer look. Right now, my main interest is in cross-support for filesystems and S3 buckets.
