The first release candidate of CEF eDelivery's Domibus 4.2 is now available

The European Commission is happy to announce that the first release candidate (RC1) of the 4.2 release of the Domibus AS4 sample implementation software is now available. Domibus 4.2 is a major release bringing extensive technical improvements and several new features. The Commission strongly encourages all interested parties to test this release candidate and report any issues found as soon as possible so that they can be fixed in the final release planned for December 2020. However, as this is not a production ready release, it should be used for testing purposes only.

  • Compliance with the eDelivery AS4 Pull Feature
  • Possibility to monitor the connection state between corners 2 and 3
  • Possibility to configure the retention policy mechanism to also delete the message metadata from the database

  • Extensive technical improvements

About CEF and CEF eDelivery:

The eDelivery Building Block of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) promotes the use of the AS4 messaging protocol to create a secure channel for the transmission of documents and data by electronic means, over the internet or via a private network.

CEF eDelivery is a network of nodes for digital communications. It is based on a distributed model where every participant becomes a node using standard transport protocols and security policies. AS4 both provides evidence relating to the handling of the transmitted data as well as protecting it against the risk of loss, theft, damage or any unauthorised alterations.

CEF supports multiple digital infrastructure projects which contribute to improvements in the daily lives of Europeans through digital inclusion, the connectivity and interoperability of European digital services, and the development of a Digital Single Market.
