Platform Notifications for DFC Standard Changes

The DFC strives to ensure no-one using our standard is unduly impacted by changes as we enrich and develop the standard. We will undertake the following measures to ensure this:

  1. We will utilise deprecated flags & sameAS, where possible, to ensure any changes are non-breaking.

  2. We will follow semantic versioning, so any breaking changes should constitute a major version change.

  3. We will support 2 major versions with any urgent patch/fixpack changes.

  4. We will maintain an open register of platforms utilising the standard who will be informed of all changes and consulted on Major changes.

  5. We will notify of all changes via our .

Platform Register

Platforms implementing the DFC standard are encouraged to actively participate in our ongoing community-driven development process, register on our and join our .

We maintain a register of platforms that are implementing our standard in our . You can add your details to this file via a PR or .
