Versions and changelog
Rendered from rfp/CHANGELOG.md in the Common Agent Standards repository, at commit 7b6131ef.
Versions#
The specification is published one version at a time. This site carries version 0.9.0-draft, dated 2026-10-18, and the specification page names it at the top.
The source of every version is in the Common Agent Standards repository, where each version is tagged as rfp-v followed by the version. A tagged version is also kept at an address of its own: 0.8.1-draft, 0.9.0-draft. The main branch, which can be ahead of the published version, is rendered at agentrfp.net/draft/.
| Version | Date | What it changed |
|---|---|---|
| 0.9.0-draft | 2026-10-18 | Gated postings, in new §5.11 |
| 0.8.1-draft | 2026-10-18 | Editorial, with no normative change |
| 0.8.0-draft | 2026-08-29 | The first version tagged in the Common Agent Standards repository, as rfp-v0.8.0-draft |
Versions 0.1.0-draft to 0.7.0-draft were written before the standard moved into the Common Agent Standards repository. The notes at the end of the specification say what each of them changed, and what 0.9.0-draft changed.
Changelog#
The changelog is part of the standard's source and is reproduced here in full, newest first.
0.9.0-draft (2026-10-18)
Gated postings, in new §5.11. A posting may keep a summary public and seal the
rest of the need, the budget, the term, the award intentions and the handling
requirements in a separate document, the sealed body, named in the signed
posting by the digest of its exact bytes. The posting names the poster's Agent
NDA open offer by digest, and a board releases the body to a provider only after
that provider has accepted the offer. The release is board-enforced, a board
records every release and shows the body to nobody else, and what the provider
does with the body afterwards is recorded under the agreement. A response should
name the agreement in the nda member of Agent SoW 0.24.0-draft. Postings
without a gate are unchanged.
0.8.1-draft (2026-10-18)
Editorial, with no normative change. The specification names no platform, em dashes become plain punctuation, and the italics of the 0.5.0-draft version note are closed paragraph by paragraph. No requirement, field, example, or section number changes.
0.8.0-draft (2026-08-29)
The first version tagged in the Common Agent Standards repository, as
rfp-v0.8.0-draft. Earlier changes are recorded in the history of this folder.
