Trail Release expanded the problem space that Citizen Synergy Exchanges can solve substantially. Some highlights include:

  1. Beside reporting your health status, you can now report an endless number of statuses about you and the environment around you, from pot holes on the road to lost handbags to active shooter in the building.

  2. Another new feature is the change from a one way data COLLECTORS into bidirectional data EXCHANGES. All your reports are now tracked with blockchain secured y20coins, so you have a trusted ledger on how much data contributions you have made.

25.01 Release

2025-01-07T13:00:00Z

This is our first Long Term Support (LTS) release with bug fixes and security patches for at least 3 years.

  • All October releases after this will also be LTS releases suitable for general production, with at least 3 years support.
  • All other releases (January, April, July) are for entities that like to experience the latest technologies at the expense of stability by updating to new quarterly releases, these releases only have 1 year support.

Although updating once every year to the next LTS release is recommended, with an existing LTS release if you are happy with what you have, you generally do NOT have to update for at least 3 years. Your local Citizen Ecosystem might provide even longer support duration to LTS releases.
