Domibus 5.1 RC has been released!

We are happy to announce the release of Domibus 5.1 RC1 (Release Candidate 1). Domibus is the sample implementation of an eDelivery Access Point maintained by the European Commission.

Domibus 5.1 RC1 includes a number of new features, improvements, and bug fixes:

• A new method was added to the WS Plugin interface to getStatus based on the messageId and the role of the Access Point. The old method to getStatus based on messageId alone is marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future release;
• The old backend interface from the WS Plugin distribution was replaced with the new one (WSDL and XSDs);
• The creation of alerts was simplified;
• Failed messages (or a selection thereof) can now be resent as batches from the Domibus Admin Console;
• New page for managing the key store in the Domibus Admin Console;
• Smart retry feature introduced for failed messages retrials (taking advantage of the monitoring to attempt retry only once the remote party is once again reachable);
• Progressive retry feature introduced (in addition to constant). Retry attempts can now be scheduled with gradually increasing intervals;
• Files can be sent to the WS Plugin as references to the file system;
• New retention policy was added for metadata. The user can now configure Domibus to keep the metadata after the payload was deleted;
• ... and more (the full list is available on the release page).

Domibus 5.1 RC1 is backward compatible with 5.0.x.

We invite all users to install Domibus 5.1 RC1 in their test environments as early as possible and report any issues they encounter during the upgrade process or during operations to EC-EDELIVERY-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu. As the final release of Domibus 5.1 is scheduled for 24/03/2023, any major issues to be addressed should be reported by 10/03/2023 at the latest.
