CASE 1.4.0 incorporates required refinements and updates, building on the stable 1.0.0 release. Following SemVer, additive improvements will continue to be accepted, but backwards-incompatible changes will be scheduled only for the 2.0.0 release, which will come after at least 6 months to possibly 12 months.
This release adopts UCO 1.4.0, incorporating bugfixes and test improvements from UCO 1.4.0.
CASE users who see warnings arise pertaining to semi-open vocabulary literals, such as those used in uco-types:Hash objects, should refer to the [UCO 1.4.0 release notes]((https://unifiedcyberontology.org/releases/1.4.0/) section “Semi-open vocabulary syntax change.”
With the adoption of UCO 1.4.0, case-investigation:ProvenanceRecords may now contain no members. This can be used for case-investigation:InvestigativeActions that turn out to have no results aside from a ProvenanceRecord.
(These are changes to ontologies, classes or properties in the preexisting ontology that make the new release non-backward-compatible.)
