Support timeline for eDelivery Sample Software

For those eDelivery users who rely on the Commission’s eDelivery sample software – Domibus, DomiSML and DomiSMP – it is important to take note of the update support timeline: 

The current version of Domibus, 5.1 will be supported until 30 September 2024. For those who haven’t upgraded yet, Domibus versions 5.0.x are supported until 7.6.2024. With Domibus 5.2 to be released with RC end of November 2023 and FR in February 2024, this should give users sufficient time to upgrade.  

Support for DomiSMP version 5.0 will be provided until mid-2024, while support for the previous version DomiSMP 4.2 will phase out soon on 31.10.2023. Therefore, users are encouraged to upgrade.  

DomiSML versions 4.2 and 4.2.1 will only be supported until 14 October 2023, therefore users are encouraged to upgrade to version DomiSML 4.3. The release candidate of this new version has just been published and the final release is planned for 13 October.  

The support timeline delineated here is subject to change. 

For those interested in more detail, there is an overview of planned features including the support timeline for releases on the eDelivery website: check out the pages for Domibus, DomiSML and DomiSMP.

The eDelivery Building Block   

eDelivery is a building block that provides technical specifications and standards, installable software and ancillary services to allow projects to create a network of nodes for secure digital data exchange.   

Domibus is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery AS4 Access Point for the interoperable, secure and reliable data exchange. It is based on the eDelivery AS4 profile, an open technical specification for the secure, web-based, payload-agnostic exchange of data or documents.   

DomiSMP is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher for publishing and retrieving data necessary for an eDelivery party to dynamically configure its system for message exchange with counterparties using eDelivery. It is based on the  eDelivery SMP profile, an open technical specification for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner network.   

DomiSMLis the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Locator for an eDelivery party to discover the URLs of other counterparties using eDelivery Access Points and their corresponding metadata. It is based on the eDelivery BDXL profile, an open technical specification for locating Access Points within a network, and on the PEPPOL SML Specification, a technical specification defining a BDXL administration API.
