The release of version 3.0.0 marks a major milestone in the development of the CESSDA Vocabulary Service.

It has moved out of Beta and is available for Service Providers to have their own agencies and manage their own CVs (contact the Service owner if you are interested in doing this).

The major differences are that:

CVs and terms can no longer be deleted, only deprecated;

CVs now use 3-digit versioning, with the same version number being applied to all language variants within a CV.

To implement those changes, existing workflows have been modified and new ones created, as required.

In addition, a large number of improvements and fixes have been made, some visible to the users and some behind the scenes.

The Editor User Guide and end Use Guide have been extensively revised to reflect the changes to the service.

The full list of changes can be seen on the About (https://vocabularies.cessda.eu/about) page.

Many thanks to the following, who have worked hard to make this release possible:

• Taina Jääskeläinen (CVS Service Owner, until December 2022)
• Maja Dolinar (CVS Service Owner, January 2023 onwards)
• Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences (Technical Maintainers, since September 2021)
• Joshua Tetteh Ocansey, Matthew Morris, John Shepherdson (CESSDA MO)

A public announcement on the CESSDA website will be made in the near future.
