Vite is a next-generation Reactive Blockchain that adopts a message-driven, asynchronous architecture and a DAG-based ledger. The goal for Vite’s design is to provide a reliable public platform for industrial dApps, with features of ultra-high throughput and scalability.

Versioning

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

1. MAJOR version when you make a significant update of the protocol (like Ethereum, Ethereum 2.0 is rather a new blockchain from Ethereum 1.0),
2. MINOR version when you introduce some breaking changes, and
3. BUILD version when you make non-breaking changes such as bug fixes, RPC modifications, code refactoring, test updates, etc.

Branching

The master branch is the working branch for the next release.

• Breaking changes should not be merged into master unless as described below.
• Non-breaking changes should be merged into master.

1. A new branch should be checked out from master before releasing a new version.

   • Say the latest version running on mainnet is 2.12.2, we can checkout a branch named release_v2.12.3 from master for building, deploying on testnet, releasing the binary and deploying on mainnet.

2. A development branch for the next breaking changes, for example v2.13, will be checked out from master.

   • Any commits from master are required to be merged into v2.13 (or rebase v2.13 onto master) as soon as possible.
   • All unit tests and integration tests should pass before merging a pull request.

3. Merge v2.13 into master and checkout release_v2.13.0 from master before the mainnet upgrade.

   • This means that v2.13.0 is the next release and there are no more releases of version 2.12.x.
   • The branch v2.13 reached end-of-life and a new branch v2.14 for the next breaking changes should be checked out from master.
   • From this point onwards, any new commits which are merged into master are based on version 2.13.

Any changes should be committed to your personal fork followed by opening a PR in the official repository.
