• Requirements for release of version two.

  Before releasing OCFL Version 2, we will meet the following criteria:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  1) Tool Implementation: 
     - At least two tools (validators, libraries, etc.) must implement three of the four new features, 
     - Every feature is implemented at least once within tools.
  
  2) Updated Fixtures and Validators: 
     - All fixtures, validators, and error messages must address the new features in the specification.
  
  3) Community Feedback: 
     - We will give each alpha and beta release phase at least six months to gather and incorporate 
       community feedback.
     - For comparison, OCFL 1.0's alpha (0.1) and beta (0.3) releases lasted 
       approximately nine and thirteen months, respectively.
