Proposal to Upgrade ckb-vm to Version 1.0 #487
Description
The ckb-vm project has been running on version 0.24 for an entire hardfork cycle.
As outlined in the ckb-vm Release Workflow (https://github.com/nervosnetwork/ckb-vm/wiki/Release-Workflow), the initial strategy was to maintain stability on version 0.24 until the meepo hardfork. The plan involved releasing incremental updates (e.g., 0.25, 0.26, 0.27) before each subsequent hardfork.
But the Nervos CKB project is preparing to release its version 1.0, marking a significant milestone in its maturity and stability. Given this development, it is logical to align ckb-vm’s roadmap with CKB’s. Upgrading ckb-vm to version 1.0 would reflect its readiness for production use and ensure compatibility with the stabilized CKB 1.0.
I propose upgrading ckb-vm to version 1.0 at a suitable time following the release of CKB 1.0. For stability, ckb 1.0 still uses ckb-vm version 0.24; we will then release ckb-vm version 1.0 based on the develop branch. Finally, I hope to start using ckb-vm 1.0 with ckb 1.1 (if available).
