# Arm C Language Extensions
This repository contains the source material from which the
specifications for the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE) are derived.
Browse the current specifications on the
[ACLE website](https://arm-software.github.io/acle/).
## Versioning
Arm no longer publishes quarterly specification releases. We publish the current
specification after each reviewed change merges into branch `main`. This
process gives users earlier access to new features, clarifications, and
corrections.
The PDF versions of the documents can be retrieved from the
[releases](https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/releases) page.
Branch `main` contains the current ACLE specification and ongoing development.
## Legacy releases
The [releases](https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/releases) page also contains
the legacy quarterly releases through 2026Q1.
Pre-GitHub versions of the documents were previously released on
[Arm Developer](https://developer.arm.com), and are also hosted in this
repository, in [Legacy releases](legacyreleases/README.md).
## Contributing
Contributions of any kind are always welcome! Please check the
[contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
## Defect reports
Please report defects in or enhancements to the specifications in this folder to
the [issue tracker page on
GitHub](https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/issues).
For reporting defects or enhancements to documents that currently are not yet
included in this repo and are thus only hosted on developer.arm.com, please send
an email to arm.acle@arm.com.

## Past contributors

have been contributing since July 2021, when the ACLE specifications
were released with an open source license.
However, the ACLE is a collective project that was started a few years
ago, and that since then has seen the contribution of many people
before it was released as an open source project.
