1Password Security Design White Paper - Missing Revision Number/Date and Changelog
I'm a longtime 1Password user and have been downloading and saving the 1Password Security Design white paper periodically over the years. It appears that a new version of the white paper was published sometime between June/July 2024 and December 2024.
The white paper used to have a Release number and date at the bottom of the first page. (The last version I have saved before the current version is "Release v0.4.7 (2024-06-25)".) The white paper also used to have a changelog at the end that listed changes made to the white paper. But those two features are missing in the current version of the white paper.
Those two features were very helpful because I could easily determine if any changes had been published since the last version of the white paper I reviewed. Without a release number/date, there is no easy way to determine if the white paper available on the 1Password website is the same as the one I reviewed previously. And without a changelog, there is no easy way to tell what has changed. (The only options are to download the PDF, compare a hash of the PDF to the last downloaded version, check the PDF metadata, and/or download the file and use a PDF comparison tool to check for changes. Those things are not very user friendly.)
Current 1Password Security Design White Paper:

Example of old 1Password Security Design White Paper:
- https://1password.com/files/1password-white-paper.pdf ← Note: This link hosts an older version of the white paper, which illustrates the Release number/date and Changelog, this linked version is older than the version published immediately before the current version.
Please add back (1) the Release # and date, and (2) the Changelog for the 1Password Security Design white paper.
Thanks!

Hello @YellowVista! 👋
Thanks for flagging this! It looks like a colleague of mine also brought this up internally last week and the team responsible for the 1Password Security White Paper plans to bring back those elements in a future update.
You can always find the latest version of the White Paper here: https://1pw.ca/whitepaper
The team is also working on taking down the older version that you linked to so that everyone can be confident that they're always viewing the latest version.

Great, thanks @Dave_1P! ... Is there any way (and if not, could you all add a way) to follow/subscribe to updates to the white paper so I get an e-mail when it is updated rather than having to go check periodically for changes?

I'm not aware of anyway to subscribe to those kind of update notifications and I'll pass this idea along to the team. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
