Release Management

  • Meta-release schedule 
    • M1 - Declared at TSC of 2024-07-04 for Commonality alpha release available at 2024-06-10. Decision to skip the M1 for ICM and go directly to the first release-candidate for M2. 
    • M2 - Release candidates of Commonalities and ICM are available, see Meta-release Fall24 plan.
    • M3 - First release-candidates of API Sub Projects to be provided by 07-21. 
    • M4 - Final release candidates of API Sub Projects: target 08-30.
  • Supporting documentation:
  • Next steps
    • All Sub Projects are asked to prepare for the meta-release, including creating API release trackers for their APIs under their wiki pages, preparing their release-candidate API version and their API readiness checklist items.
      • Reminder: the API version number within this first pre-release shall have the format x.y.z-rc.1 for the targeted release of API version x.y.z in the meta-release 
      • Before M3 you may release 1 or more x.y.z-alpha.n versions as needed for the API development, but you can also go from the current release directly to the first release-candidate by M3. (Pre-)release numbering starts at r1.1. Please reflect this in the CHANGELOG.md.
    • Milestone timeline is here: Meta-release Fall24.
    • The Release Management team will start checking APIs and highlighting any points related to the release process where needed using the API Sub Project's issues list to help in the meta-release progress.

- KYC Match Scoring function has been discussed on #85 since June 2024, which is in line with KYC Match enhancement proposal approved in API Backlog WG.  → KYC Match Scoring function was agreed as optional function, and to create KYC Match v0.2.0 including Match Scoring function, PR #104 has been approved and merged

- KYC Match Scoring: if Match result for a string-type attribute is 'false', a score on how close the string sent by the API request and the data stored in the MNO/CSP database are will be calculated and returned.   

- Meta Release Fall-24 candidate is being discussed; Plans to include KYC Match v0.2 (basic Match + Match Scoring) and KYC Fill-in v0.1 (basic Fill-in). Issue #75



- Note: Tenure API is in KnowYourCustomer Family. Tenure API will share some resources, e.g. meeting slots, with other KYC-SP APIs.  In addition, API Backlog WG is discussing on whether two new APIs, NumberRecycling API and ShtudownServiceStatus API, can fit in KnowYourCustomer Family.
