I have staged a PR which makes some bugfixes to the HSDS Documentation site. Because some of these changes touch normative pages, it requires a PATCH update. The changes consist of updating the version string – used for URLs and references to HSDS repos – on several pages to `3.3` from older versions. The reason for this drift is that updating these is a manual process, and occasionally gets missed when doing a schema update. We were informed of this by an independant third party researcher via email. As per the governance process, this PR will be merged and a new `v3.3.1` release issued on 2026-09-02 unless there is a question or concern raised by a member of the Technical Committee - [PR #595](https://github.com/openreferral/specification/pull/595) - [Docs build for the bugfix branch](https://docs.openreferral.org/en/bugfix-reconcile-version-numbers-in-docs/) Going forward, I will also be raising an issue to consider how to avoid this in the future and reduce the maintenance burden on the docs. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.openreferral.org/t/notification-of-patch-updates-bugfixes-to-normative-documentation/866)._
