Full Changelog: https://github.com/COVESA/vehicle_signal_specification/compare/v2.1..v2.2

v2.1

Besides documentation improvements and bugfixes in the signal tree, the following major changes have been introduced:

Deprecation
As the signal tree evolves, we want to help people with the transition. Therefore, we introduced the deprecation keyword. All information you'll be able to find in the (documentation)[http://genivi.github.io/vehicle_signal_specification/rule_set/basics/#deprecation-since-version-21]

Aggregated
Because of being unclear and more suitable on the layer of implementation, the aggregated keyword got removed.

v2.0

A new version of VSS has been released. The most important changes since Version 1.0 are:

Vehicle as new root node

Before, the tree of the specification started with an empty node, followed by an Attribute and a Signal branch. Now the root node is called Vehicle and every following branch is attached to it.

Attribute and signal now elements of Data Entries

Attributes and Signals were branches before. Now they are elements of the Data Entries. For more information, please consult the documentation.

Instances as branch elements

Instances were defined by duplication in the specification in Version 1.0. Now they are defined as elements of a branch and recognized by the tooling. The documentation helps you, by offering details on how it works in practice.

Tools repository

Tools reside now in the vss-tools repository and are integrated in the Vehicle Signal Specification by using git sub-modules.

v1.0

The very first official release of the Vehicle Signal Specification.
