Release Candidate 1 for eSciDoc Infrastructure Version 1.0
The first release candidate for version 1 of the eSciDoc Infrastructure is now available for download. Major features include

The RC1 build is feature-complete. Interfaces and data structures of this release candidate (and potentially further ones) will not be changed until the final version 1.0 release. This means that you can build your own code on a stable and reliable basis using the release candidates. We will only provide bug fixes for this stable release branch. All ongoing development takes place in the development branch and will not affect the code base of the release candidates and the final version 1.0.

Java Client Library Available
For developers who are implementing their solutions using the Java programming language, the new Java Client Library simplyfies the interaction with the eSciDoc Infrastructure substantially. Instead of working with XML representations (as with the SOAP and REST interface), the new client library allows developers to work with Java objects.

You can download the Java Client Library from the Download page. You will find it as one of the Additional Tools and Services in the Developer Builds section.

The Java Client Library has been designed and developed jointly with DANS (Data Archival and Networked Services, The Hague).

Infrastructure Roadmap Online
We have the roadmap for the eSciDoc Infrastructure now online available. We still work on it, but you will get a feeling on what we are working in the coming months. We will update the roadmap from time to time to keep it up to date.
