The planned lifecycle of this project is to roll out new features in a series of release candidates. After each release candidate is approved, it will be exposed to public review. Issues may be entered here in GitHub or in a discussion forum on the FIX Trading Community site. When a version is considered complete, the last release candidate will be promoted to Draft Standard. Following further public review, a Draft Standard may be promoted to the final specification for that version. Only minor errata are permitted. To reach the final stage, the Draft Standard must be reviewed for no less than 6 months, and at least two interoperable implementations must be certified. That version is henceforth immutable.

### Current version: 1.0 Technical Specification
SBE version 1.0 has reached the final technical specification stage while release candidates have been developed for proposed version 2.0.

### Version 2.0 Release Candidate 2

Version 2.0 RC2 was approved by the Global Technical Committee on August 15, 2019 for 90 day public review.

Themes of this release:

* Clarification about single-byte character sets
* Improvement of the XML schema, including support for XIinclude

### Version 2.0 Release Candidate 1

Version 2.0 RC1 was approved by the Global Technical Committee on August 16, 2018 for 90 day public review. Features were added due to popular demand. Because it is not interoperable with version 1.0 due to minor wire format changes, it was designated as a major version.

Themes of this release:

* Further enhancements to the schema extension mechanism
* Improvement of the XML schema

### Version: 1.0 Technical Specification
Version 1.0 Draft Standard was promoted to SBE version 1.0 Technical Specification by the Global Technical Committee on Feb. 9, 2016. This is the final specification of version 1.0.
