Aug 1, 2025August 2025 — Delivered Release Notes Versioning Standardization for openbao/openbao, establishing a consistent patch-versioning approach and improving automation compatibility. Patch versions now use an 'x' suffix to remain patch-version independent, and the patch version headers in 2.3.2 notes are prefixed with 'v' for clarity. The main artifact of the month was the fix for a missing 'v' in the 2.3.2 header, addressed by commit 2fc111bc16bda3f4f56698ea78597e57ee794115 (#1665). These changes improve release traceability, reduce ambiguity for downstream consumers, and strengthen CI/CD integration.
