OPTiMaDe API v1.0.0-rc.1
Pre-release
Pre-release
This is release candidate 1 of v1.0.0 of the OPTiMaDe API specification.
The specification has undergone major changes since the last release, many of them not backward compatible.
A few highlighted changes directly affecting the API:
- The filter language grammar has undergone several changes.
- When/how properties are to be included/excluded in responses has changed (some are always present, some by default, others only when requested.)
- Several minor specification bugs/inconsistencies have been fixed throughout the specification.
A few other highlighted changes:
- The license for the specification is now CC-BY 4.0.
- The source format is now reStructuredText (rst) rather than markdown, primarily to simplify toc, cross references, and section number handling.
- The makefile has a few additional helpful targets (see top of GNUmakefile for info).
- The registry of known OPTiMaDe providers is no longer part of the specification, it has been moved to a separate repository 'providers'.
- With this release, README.md now encourages implementing the latest released version rather than the development version.
