timestamp.json has not been updated

It appears that timestamp.json stopped getting updated about 2 weeks ago. Possibly around the time the V2 data feeds were rolled out.

Hey Chris, I'm not a maintainer but I believe this is intended.

v1 feed includes the timestamp.json file like this:

sofa/v1/timestamp.json

Lines 1 to 5 in f6df116

	{
	"macOS": {
	"LastCheck": "2025-09-20T12:47:16+00:00Z",
	"UpdateHash": "2673c44985b92112456d6f89ba94daa98694ee2c6cbf280c4c94c92962d43a1f"
	},

But in v2 that info is included in the specific OS's feed already:

sofa/v2/macos_data_feed.json

Lines 1 to 5 in f6df116

	{
	"Version": "2.0",
	"UpdateHash": "73aaeb01dae7727ce7a3407151782f0f2e371de747d644467d13f98f53084e3c",
	"LastCheck": "2025-10-01T17:07:59.317393473+00:00",
	"OSVersions": [

But I do agree that the links to some of the metadata on the How-it-works page are broken. i.e., link to bulletin_data.json, link to essential_links.json, and link to timestamp.json

I know how to fix the bulletin and essential links issues (the reference link is wrong) but I'm not sure if the timestamp.json should point to /resources/timeseries.ndjson or the /v1/timestamp.json as you mentioned.

I thought the old v1 feeds were still being updated. I have some scripts that use the old feed and I didn't want to go through the effort of updating them if I don't need to.

The file will return.
