Is the Storage Specification complete? Will there be later versions?

The Specification is complete, but is being released as a Version 0.9. Even though all the major hard drive manufacturers and a number of flash, optical, and tape manufacturers have been working together to develop this Specification, we are soliciting feedback from the larger I.T., storage, software application and end-user communities. Relevant feedback will be incorporated into a Version 1.0 Specification in the near future. However, ISVs and storage device manufacturers can begin to devise implementations based on this version of the Specification now.

The Specification is complete, but is being released as a Version 1.0, Revision 0.9 – draft. Even though all the major hard drive manufacturers and a number of flash, optical, and tape manufacturers have been working together to develop this Specification, we are providing this version to the larger I.T., storage, software application and end-user communities. If a vendor would like to contribute to the final Specification, due in the near future, we encourage that vendor to join TCG and to participate in the Storage Workgroup. However, ISVs and storage device manufacturers can begin to devise implementations based on this version of the Specification now.
