All releases can be found here. Every release contains the source code the document is based on, a changelog with a description of the all changes which have been made and the final document as PDF. The document itself will never really be completed as the decipherment is an ongoing process with no foreseeable ending. Therefore, there will be a continuous stream of releases once in a while. This also means that a release is always a snapshot of what has been condensed from the past and the state the decipherment process is currently in.
The version of the document is usually the date of the release.
The release date is converted to a Maya Long Count date using the Martin-Skidmore
correlation (584286) and then written out in the standard Long Count notation.
For example, 2022-12-30
would be written as 13.0.10.2.18
.
The changelog format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to a variant of Calendar Versioning. It can be found here. Every changelog entry consists of the long count date and its Gregorian equivalent (using ISO format YYYY-MM-DD). Here's an example:
