Changelog

This file details all of Ironclad’s releases, along with their changes and other details, in a more readable and accessible way than commit history.

The project uses semantic versioning for its releases. Statements on stability as far as semantic versioning is concerned are done regarding userland compatibility. No guarantees of kernel code stability inside the kernel are done.

Ironclad, so far, is “pre-stable release” software, so no stability or support guarantees are made between releases. In a future, when Ironclad is stable, this section will have a table of all supported releases.
