Working draft of the proposed RISC-V V vector extension.
Version 1.0 has been frozen and at this time is undergoing public review. Version 1.0 is considered stable enough to begin developing toolchains, functional simulators, and implementations, including in upstream software projects, and is not expected to have incompatible changes except if serious issues are discovered during ratification. Once ratified, the spec will be given version 2.0.
The previous stable releases are v1.0-rc2, v1.0-rc1, v0.10, v0.9, and v0.8. Note, these previous releases were for experimental development purposes only and are not standard versions suitable for production use. Significant incompatible changes were made from these earlier versions prior to freezing.
