It provides a structured way to add version metadata to STAC items and collections, allowing you to track version numbers, deprecation status, and relationships between different versions of the same dataset or resource.\n\nThe package works as a plugin to pystac-core, adding schema validation and helper methods for working with version fields. It's designed for geospatial and imagery catalogs where datasets evolve over time and you need to maintain clear lineage between versions. The package version itself tracks the extension specification version it targets, with post-releases used for code updates that don't change the underlying extension version.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you're building or maintaining a PySTAC catalog that needs to track dataset versions or deprecation status. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, installs with minimal friction, and is permissively licensed. Install it only if you actually need version tracking; it's a specialized extension, not a general-purpose tool."},"id":"pystac-ext-version","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-version","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-version.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-version/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-version","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Version extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981897,"position":2411,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
