This version will provide segment groups for defined document types like orders and invoices. Most important will be the introduction of a XML format for defining code list extensions. Stabilisation by disscussion and consens about the XML DTDs introduced with 0.5. This release will try on a smarter DTD called EdiLean. Its important for me that authentication and authorisation will be provided before I call it final 1.0.
Most messages contain viable information for running a bussiness.
Only cryptography on a document level would preserve authentication and authorisation once a message stored on a disk. The beauty of this aproach is, that the secure document is still wellformed and valid of the same document type. I hope that any consens have been found on that road, so the DTDs wont change in further releases. Perl is a perfect language for prototyping, but profiling and using a low level language like C for hot spots, will be necessary to handle large batches. Drop me an eMail and ask for price and conditions.
