  • Domibus 5.1.1 (significant) bug fix release postponed to the 09 Oct 2023 in order to include the latest fixes introduced in 5.0.7 and a further postponement might be required due to additional bugs recently detected.
  • Domibus 5.2 RC development activities ongoing in parallel, but the roadmap of 2024-2025 may have to be reviewed in light of the extensive work required for Domibus 5.0.6, 5.0.7 and 5.1.1 patch releases.
    
  • DomiSML 4.3 RC released on the 07 Sep 2023. DomiSML 4.3 FR is planned for 13 Oct 2023.
  • With the migration to the new conformance testing platform complete, work is ongoing to:
    
    • strengthen the testing of the eDelivery Common Profile (the mandatory part of the profile that is implemented by all conformant products)
    • extend the tests to allow software vendors and service providers to test their products/services also against all the optional parts of the eDelivery AS4 1.15 profile, as currently only 2 (of 6) such optional profile parts are testable.
