Sparkplug 3.0 represents the first version of the specification managed under the Eclipse Foundation specification process. It represents a proper formalization of the specification over the v2.2 release. The goals were to clarify ambiguities in the v2.2 version and add explicit normative statements where needed without adding new features that would break existing devices and applications.
