Version 2022.06.1 is the second production release of the RDSv3 format. This publication contains SQLite files, which are intended to update the SQLite database files published in first RDSv3 publication, RDS 2022.03.1. This publication is the next step in the transition away from the flat text file format of RDS 2.XX, to the SQLite database format, which includes SHA-256 hashes, while removing the CRC-32 hash, among other publication changes. The new RDSv3 format will be the only publication format released by the NSRL beginning March 2023. All production publications of the RDSv3 format may be downloaded below.
