Releases

The live site always shows the current state of the record. For citation, dated snapshots are cut monthly as git tags and GitHub releases. Each release receives a DOI via Zenodo.

Past releases

v2026.08 (2026-08-31)

Second dated snapshot. Ten practices, all at draft status, with no endorsements yet. Deposited after the summer break; it captures the record as of 18 August 2026. BP-04 gained resource and spend caps; BP-01 gained a costed example of the wrong method choice. The library grew to nine distilled sources and 54 reference works, and the failures log to five entries. Source lists on the practice pages are now generated from each page's frontmatter, and this snapshot carries the first contributions from outside the editor group.
