From b55d20c987567b8e0f78198e0c0905c94ff34f54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Joshua D. Drake" Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 15:37:28 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] docs: the release-status page said no release was tagged #383 pointed the README at 1.0-alpha. The status badge two lines above it links to docs/limitations.md#release-status, and that section still read The version marker is `1.0-dev`, recorded in `VERSION`, and there has been no tagged release. Both halves were wrong after v1.0-alpha shipped, and the second is the one that matters: a reader following the badge from a README that says 1.0-alpha landed on a page telling them no release exists. The guidance below it is unchanged, because it is still true of an alpha: reloadable tables, appropriate for evaluation and analytical rebuilds, not yet a production system of record. Only the "until there is" premise, which assumed no release, is reworded. Deliberately not restating the extension's default_version here. #389 moves it to 1.0-alpha with an upgrade script, so a paragraph pinning it at 1.0-dev would be false on merge. The CHANGELOG already carries that distinction.
