What are the criteria for a "First Major Release"? How does Dave's proposed Project Readiness fit in? FWIW, I created this set of criteria for the Fabric 1.0 release.

Proposed/Draft Resolution 2:

  • Have reached active status (the processes and community are mature)
  • Completed a security audit provided by Hyperledger
    • no bugs that affect security of the system remain open unless they have mitigating workarounds published in release notes
    • crypto code included in the release has been audited for crypto export compliance
  • Completed a license scan
  • The release features substantially fulfill the project's charter
  • The release satisfies criteria defined by the project itself. All projects should meet some internally defined non-functional release criteria (bug counts, performance, etc.)
    • adequate test coverage (unit and functional/integration) to have confidence that the release supports the non-functional criteria
    • maintainers have reviewed all remaining open bugs and agree on severity/priority
    • zero high or highest priority bugs remain open
    • the preceding release candidate will have been published for a minimum period of time
    • release will not require users/operators to compile code to operate the base project
    • documentation sufficient to ensure that users/operators have clear guidance on how to get started and how to configure and operate. The operational aspects need to be correct and independently user tested
  • signed release code (not sha1, which is what git currently uses as that is no longer secure), published images (DTR) and binaries,
  • release notes


  • No labels
