# Release Information

## Introduction
[Catena-X Standards](https://catena-x.net/de/standard-library) are the foundation for certifying any software product operating in the Catena-X data space. Those standards are the binding reference to obtain a valid certificate. To make adopting the latest Catena-X standards easier, reference implementations are provided through the Eclipse Tractus-X Project. Those Releases are published in a periodic cadence.

[Catena-X Standards](https://catena-x.net/de/standard-library) are the foundation for certifying any software component operating in the Catena-X data space. Those standards are the binding reference to obtain a valid certificate.
We recommend you to visit the [sig-release repo](https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/sig-release) and start with the [README.md](https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/sig-release/blob/main/README.md) for a consolidated package on Release-relevant information.
In addition you may want to check the recent releases for content which was published so far, and check the Changelog(s) for features, known knowns and compatibility.

To make adopting the latest Catena-X standards easier, reference implementations are provided through the Elipse Tractus-X Project. Releases of these reference implementations happen four times a year using a [calendar versioning](https://calver.org/) scheme, and include the operating system consisting of core services, enablement services, and KITs.
Go to the [sig-release/README.md](https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/sig-release/blob/main/README.md) for a consolidated package on release-relevant information.

Please check the [Change Log](/CHANGELOG) for content, known knowns, and backward compatibility since the calendar versioning scheme readily shows the year and month of release.
