OCSF follows the semver versioning scheme.

From the semver documentation:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

In terms practical to OCSF users, this means:

  • PATCH version increments may change documentation values like description.
  • MINOR version increments may add new schemata like attributes or events.
  • MAJOR version increments may add and remove anything.

So any version in the 1.x line should be backwards-compatible with previous 1.x versions.
