## 0.92.0 "Fermentation" (28 Dec 2020)
NeoGo project is closing year 2020 with 3.0.0-preview4 compatible release that
also has much improved performance, a lot of updates to compiler and SDK and
some experimental protocol extensions. This release also is the most tested
release of NeoGo ever, we've reached 83% code coverage (Neo 2.x only has
66%).
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.91.0 and there are no
plans for long-term support of it, Neo 3 is still changing and improving.
Protocol-wise this release is tested with preview4 testnet (including working
in consensus with C# nodes) and it is compatible with it even though there are
some known storage change mismatches between NeoGo and C# (functionally the
contents is the same, this mismatch is caused by JSON handling differences and
needs to be addressed at the protocol level).
