	<text xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

		<p>

			Releases before v1.0.0 are development and are not intended for production use.

			Releases after v1.0.0 should follow the rules of <a href="http://semver.org/">Semantic versioning</a>.

		</p>

		<h2>v0.8</h2>

		</p>

			<li>arrays of other types</li>

			<li>arrays of other types with support for NULL values</li>

		</ul>

		<h3>Transformations</h3>

		<ul>

		</ul>

		<h3>Outputs</h3>

		<ul>

			<li>CLI: null-byte separated values</li>

		</ul>

		<h3>Other tasks</h3>

		<ul>

			<li>review the build system (probably use cmake in all modules)</li>

			<li>pkg-config: version numbers, debug vs. release</li>

			<li>automated complex tests (specification vs. implementation compliance)</li>

		</ul>

		<h2>v1.0</h2>

		<p>

			First version for production use. 

			Brings no new features, just stabilized result of previous development.

			Stable must be:

		</p>

		<ul>

			<li>format specification</li>

			<li>relpipe-lib-writer</li>

			<li>relpipe-lib-reader</li>

			<li>relpipe-in-cli</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-tabular</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-xml</li>

		</ul>

		<p>

			Other parts might be released as stable later.

		</p>

		<p>

			After this point, all components (the format specification, particular libraries and particular tools) 

			will be versioned independently and the compatibility matrix will be maintained.

		</p>
