It has been a long journey, but the Everest Framework 1.0 release is now available at the MARC-HI Technology Exchange (http://everest.marc-hi.ca). There are a multitude of new features and usability enhancements include:
- Support for NE2010, NE2011 and CDAr2 (Though only base versions of NE2010 and CDAr2 are included)
- Formatters available for Data Types R2 (ISO21090:2009)
- A new GPMR Wizard which makes turning MIFs into DLLs much easier
- Changes in the way that GraphAides are added to formatters
- Improvements in formatter error detail reporting
The next version on our roadmap is 1.5 slated for a 2013 release. Features so far include:
- A JSON ITS Formatter
- A REST based connector
- Improvements to way that IListenWaitConnector and IListenWaitRespondConnector implementations raise notifications of messages received
- JavaScript renderer for GPMR (output JS files that can be used to construct JSON objects using the JSON ITS)
The whole Everest team hopes that you enjoy the new version of Everest. Please feel free to leave comments on our forums (http://te.marc-hi.ca/forums) or submit any issues you encounter.
