previousMaturity

Type: string Default: undefined

The specStatus value of the previous version of this document. Required when previousPublishDate is set — ReSpec uses it to construct the "Previous Version" URL.

Basic usage

var respecConfig = {
  specStatus: "WD",
  publishDate: "2025-06-15",
  previousPublishDate: "2024-12-01",
  previousMaturity: "WD",
};

Notes

• Always set together with previousPublishDate
• The value must be a valid specStatus identifier (e.g. "WD", "CR", "FPWD")
• ReSpec does not validate whether the progression makes sense — the W3C Link Checker will catch mismatches before publication
• For "FPWD" (first publication), omit both fields
