This document explains the repository's existing version signals without renaming tags, rewriting history or assigning one version to the whole NEXAH ecosystem.
NEXAH does not have one shared ecosystem version. Each released artifact is versioned inside its own authority:
| Artifact | Current meaning | Version source |
|---|---|---|
| NEXAH Framework repository | Maintained source containing Framework, Research, OLS, Kernel and current Library Registry responsibilities | Git commit |
| Orientation Kernel implementation | Current Python implementation track | pyproject.toml: 0.7.0 |
| Orientation Language Specification | Canonical semantic release within the OLS scope | OLS release documents and OLS changelog |
| Ecosystem Constitution | Adopted governance baseline, not a software release | Constitution v1.0 |
| ORION | Independently versioned navigation repository | ORION VERSION and release records |
| Experience | Independently versioned presentation repository | Experience package and publication records |
A version in one row does not upgrade, release or certify another row.
| Tag | Date | Historical meaning | Current interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
v0.5 |
3 March 2026 | Engine v0.5 milestone with editable installation and an operational test suite | Historical implementation milestone |
v1.0.0 |
4 March 2026 | Annotated stable finite abstract-interpretation Kernel for its declared finite scope | Historical Kernel-scope tag; not Constitution v1.0 and not an ecosystem-wide release |
v0.5.0 |
23 April 2026 | Tag later used by the public “Research Prototype Release” | Historical research-prototype release |
The non-chronological tag numbering is retained as repository history. Existing tags and releases are not moved or reinterpreted as current package versions.
pyproject.toml declares nexah version 0.7.0. The root README names this as
the maintained Orientation Kernel implementation track. It does not mean:
- NEXAH Ecosystem v0.7;
- Constitution v0.7;
- OLS v0.7;
- ORION v0.7; or
- a production-readiness declaration.
NEXAH Framework 1.0 was frozen on 25 July 2026 with the distinct annotated
tag framework-v1.0.0 at commit
87f438d05a8841166ea32719b9fda807acf5cb6b.
This identity applies only to the Framework repository and does not reuse or
reinterpret the historical Kernel-scope v1.0.0 tag. The release scope,
verification record, limits and remaining provenance improvements are recorded
in the NEXAH Framework 1.0 Release Record.
Post-freeze documentation commits may clarify the public record. They do not move the tag or alter the frozen source baseline.
Constitution v1.0 may be published or referenced as a governance baseline under
an unambiguous name such as constitution-v1.0; doing so does not create a
Framework or Kernel v1.0 release.
