## Spec lifecycle
2020-10-28 09:26:42 +00:00
Every spec has its own lifecycle that shows its maturity. We indicate this in a similar fashion to [COSS Lifecycle ](https://github.com/unprotocols/rfc/blob/master/2/README.md ):

## Spec releases and changelog
The way we do releases is:
1. People approve PR
2. Squash commits in PR
3. Add one more commit to PR with commit info to previously squashed PR in the "Released on"
4. Merge rebase
This means the PR results in two commits on master, with the commit hash of a
release leading to all the changes done in that release.
Changelog is appended to in reverse chronological order with a summary of changes.
In cases where a release hasn't been cut, add a section "Next version" with a
summary of changes in the PR. This makes it easy to make sure each changelog is
accurate with actual diff from previous version.
