What is the issue and why is it an issue?

Many of you have expressed a desire to use v3.0, a more secure and intuitive version of the specification.

Please describe some potential solutions you have considered (even if they aren’t related to GBFS).

This is why we propose to set a cut-off date for producers and consumers to implement the last v3.0 changes. After this date, v3.0 would become the official version, with the features implemented by a producer and a consumer (with the “Official” label in the tracker).

There are 5 v3.0 features that currently do not have both a producer and a consumer. This means that if they are not implemented by a producer and a consumer before March 10, 2024, these features would have to be delayed to v4 in Novembre:

• 🅿️ Geofencing made simple (#481) - missing a consumer
• 🕐 Opening hours format (#328) - missing a consumer
• ⌛ Timestamps format (#522) - missing a consumer and a producer
• 🦄 Unified station capacity (#547) - missing a producer
• 💵 Pricing per mile (#546) - missing a producer

If you’re interested in being a consumer/producer and make a feature official, please add it in a comment.
