The versions in brackets are the versions of the specification that each
product implements, as of November 2026. Check the product's docs for the
current state. Some products deviate from the specification in details: the
docs of the product list the deviations (for example, see the [Cloud Registry
The table lists, for each product, the version of the specification that it
implements and the current release of the specification. Each version links
to its source: the API specification (or the commit of the specification)
that the product's default branch builds on, and the release page of the
specification. Checked in November 2026.

Notes on the table:

- **TRS-Filer:** the specification file of the TRS release 2.0.2 (commit
`4854e2f`) states the version `2.1.0`, and there is no release 2.1.0 (see
[ga4gh/tool-registry-service-schemas#295](https://github.com/ga4gh/tool-registry-service-schemas/issues/295)).
The table takes the specification file as the source of truth and lists
`2.1.0`.
- **Funnel and Poiesis:** neither states a TES release. Both build on a
commit of the TES repository after the release 1.1.0 (Funnel, now in the
`calypr` organisation: `28a83a6`, as a Git submodule; Poiesis: `c4c17c9`),
whose specification file states `1.1.0`.
- **TESK:** the TES API is implemented by
[tesk-api](https://github.com/elixir-cloud-aai/tesk-api), which includes
the TES specification as a Git submodule.
- **Conquest:** its README states WES 1.1 (and TES 1.1 for its internal
task backend); the repository has no specification file.

Check the product's docs for the current state. Some products deviate from
the specification in details: the docs of the product list the deviations
(for example, see the [Cloud Registry
API](https://cloud-registry.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/#deviations-from-the-ga4gh-specification)).
