54 |  | -This document describes the draft of version 1.0 of the RISC-V vector  | 
55 |  | -extension.  | 
 | 54 | +This document is the first release candidate for version 1.0 of the  | 
 | 55 | +RISC-V vector extension for public review.  |

 | 57 | +*This is not the frozen version of 1.0 for public review*.  |

57 |  | -NOTE: This is a draft of the stable proposal for the vector extension  | 
58 |  | -specification to be used for implementation and evaluation.  Once the  | 
59 |  | -draft label is removed, version 1.0 is intended to be sent out for  | 
60 |  | -public review as part of the RISC-V International ratification  | 
61 |  | -process.  Version 1.0 is also considered stable enough to begin  | 
62 |  | -developing toolchains, functional simulators, and initial  | 
63 |  | -implementations, including in upstream software projects, and is not  | 
64 |  | -expected to have major functionality changes except if serious issues  | 
65 |  | -are discovered during ratification.  Once ratified, the spec will be  | 
66 |  | -given version 2.0.  |
