Current Activities

The Pubcookie team is now collecting requirements for the next development cycle and soliciting long-term objectives for the project.

Versioning & Compatibility

Pubcookie version numbers correspond with the common major.minor.patch versioning convention.

Major version numbers refer to major compatibility issues, like cookie format, protocol, and security methods. Minor version numbers refer to new feature releases. Patch version numbers refer to minor feature enhancements and bug-fix releases. For example, you can safely assume that a version 3.2.0 login server is compatible with version 3.3.0 modules, since they share the same major version number. However, based on the minor version numbers, there may be new features in the 3.3.0 modules that aren't supported by the slightly older login server.
