Upcoming CTF 2 specification

To those concerned,=0A=
=0A=
After years of development, the DiaMon Workgroup announces that it will=0A=
publish the official specification of the Common Trace Format, version 2=0A=
based on its latest release candidate, CTF2-SPECRC-9.0 [1].=0A=
=0A=
Indeed, we now possess sufficient implementation code to be very=0A=
confident that CTF2-SPECRC-9.0 does not contain any major errors or=0A=
omissions, taking into account the goals of the format.=0A=
=0A=
Consequently, we will publish the CTF2-SPEC-2.0 document in two weeks,=0A=
barring any significant and justified objection in response to this=0A=
email.=0A=
=0A=
Although its form may change in the future, for instance to add examples=0A=
or to make them interactive, its content shall remain as is in=0A=
perpetuity. In other words, we do not anticipate to publish=0A=
CTF2-SPEC-2.1: any additions or changes, which we will document as part=0A=
of new DiaMon documents, will be made through the new metadata stream=0A=
attribute [2] or extension [3] instruments.=0A=
