+title: Announcing SLSA v1.1 Release Candidate 2
+author: "SLSA Community"
+is_guest_post: false
+---
+
+Today we’re releasing the [SLSA Version 1.1 RC2](/spec/v1.1-rc2/) for
+public review. We are seeking comments on these spec changes by April
+18, 2025. This release brings several changes aimed at enhancing the
+clarity and usability of the original specification. It also introduces
+backwards-compatible clarifications to the SLSA threat model, attestation
+model and verification procedure. This includes the addition of verifier
+metadata to the Verification Summary Attestation (VSA) format. Please,
+refer to the [What's new](/spec/v1.1-rc2/whats-new) section for further
+details.
+
+What does this update mean for SLSA implimentors? Good news! This means
+that SLSA 1.1 is backwards compatible with SLSA 1.0.
+
+Although this is a relatively minor update, the SLSA working group has also
+been busy developing several new tracks covering areas such as source and
+build environment. We had originally hoped to release these 1.1
+improvements as part of larger update but in the end we felt that the 1.1
+release was warranted.
+
+So what’s next? The SLSA specification follows the [Community Specification]
+lifecycle going through several [stages of maturation](/spec-stages). The
+publication of a candidate for [Approved Specification] starts a 2 week
+review period during which the community at large is invited to review the
+draft and raise any issues. If you do find any issue, please, open an issue
+on [GitHub]. If no major issues are found during this review period the
+V1.1 RC2 draft will then be published as Version 1.1, the new
+[Approved Specification], effectively replacing Version 1.0.
