Frictionless Standards update is getting closer to a first draft release of the v2, and we are very excited about it! We discussed the last pending issues with the working group last week. The only outstanding issue in the draft release will be versioning, which was widely discussed with the working group during our monthly call in February. In the coming month we will work on a detailed proposal for versioning, probably to be applied from v2 on. This will be included in the v2 final release. If you want to know more about it, you can read <a href="https://frictionlessdata.io/blog/2024/03/01/community-call/#working-group-discussion" target="_blank" style="mso-line-height-rule:
