Versioning Policy

pynecore uses a versioning system based on the Pine Script version supported by TradingView, extended with internal feature and patch levels:

  <major>.<minor>.<patch>

Breakdown:

  • major: the supported Pine Script version (e.g., 6 means Pine v6)
  • minor: new PyneCore-specific features that don’t affect Pine compatibility, but add capabilities
  • patch: bug fixes and small improvements

Examples:

  • 6.0.0 – First stable release supporting Pine v6
  • 6.0.4 – Bugfix release, still Pine v6
  • 6.1.0 – Adds new Pine v6 features (e.g., support for bar_index.new)
  • 7.0.0 – First version to support Pine v7

Pre-release versions

When a new Pine version (e.g., v7) is released and still under integration/testing, pre-release versions will be published:

  • 7.0.0a1 – Alpha release
  • 7.0.0b1 – Beta release
  • 7.0.0rc1 – Release candidate

These versions require explicit installation using the --pre flag in pip and are not installed by default.

This scheme ensures clarity for users and developers alike: stability is tied to the Pine version, while flexibility is maintained for PyneCore enhancements.
