Transfer Encoding Specification Version 1.01 (FAST%20Transfer%20Encoding%20Specification%201.0.2.pdf, 226KB)  
Version 1.01 of the Transfer Encoding Specification describes the serialization processs used to reduce the size of a data stream as it traverses the wire.  
[6 March 2006]  
Field Encoding Specification Version 1.0 (FAST%20Field%20Encoding%20Specification%201.0.pdf, 158KB)  
Version 1.0 of the Field Encoding Specification describes field-level operations used to reduce redundant information carried in a data stream.  
[21 February 2006]

on the page  
[http://www.fixprotocol.org/fastspec](http://www.fixprotocol.org/fastspec)

refer to FAST 1.0 and should be removed. These should be clearly marked as FAST 1.0 to prevent any confusion.

FAST Specification Version 1.1 (FAST Specification 1 x 1.pdf, 472KB)  
This document defines the structure and semantics of FAST, which is a binary encoding method for message oriented data streams. FAST is an acronym for FIX Adapted for Streaming.
