Experimental features

Starting in version v1.0.0-rc.4, Notation began introducing experimental features. Experimental features are features that are not yet ready for production use but are available for testing and evaluation. Experimental features may change significantly in later releases or be completely removed. Experimental features are not enabled by default and are not supported.

Currently, Notation has the following experimental features:

• Signing, listing and verifying images as OCI image layout
• Store signatures using artifact manifest (requires registry support). Deprecated in v1.0.0-rc.5.
• Use Referrers API

To enable experimental features, set the NOTATION_EXPERIMENTAL environment variable to 1, for example:

export NOTATION_EXPERIMENTAL=1
