117+ ### Development validator
118+
119+ The BIDS Validator tracks the latest release of the BIDS specification (currently [ v1.10.0] ).
120+ As the next release of BIDS is developed, changes to the schema or the validator may be
121+ tested at < https://bids-standard.github.io/bids-validator/dev/ > .
122+
123+ Note that any changes in this validator may be reverted prior to the next release of BIDS.
124+ Command-line use of the development validator is not currently supported.
125+
126+ ### Updated documentation
127+
128+ The original BIDS validator had limited documentation,
129+ primarily a README that was replicated on GitHub and [ NPM] [ npm:validator ] .
130+ For the 2.0 release of the validator, we've added documentation at
131+ < https://bids-validator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ > .
132+
133+ In addition to user guides for the [ web] [ web-validator ] and [ command-line] interfaces
134+ to the validator, we aim to include more detail on the operation of the validator,
135+ starting with the [ validation model] [ ] .
136+ Our goal is to demystify the validator and the BIDS Schema and empower researchers and
137+ developers to adapt and reuse the tools we've built.
138+
139+ This site is under active development, and will be updated frequently in the
140+ coming weeks. Please help us improve it by opening issues (or PRs)!
