Hi SDO developers and users, I'm happy to announce that the Tuscany SDO/Java project now (as of revision 536331) contains a functionally complete implementation of the SDO 2.1 specification! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this achievement and especially in getting the final functionality in place in the last few weeks. Now that we have the function, the next step is to exercise it thoroughly to get all the bugs out.
I propose that we spend the next 4-6 weeks testing and fixing bugs followed by an official Tuscany SDO 1.0 release in June. We really need help from the community to test it thoroughly, so please work with us to help make Tuscany/SDO a great and solid framework. As many of you already know, the SDO CTS (community test suite) is a separate Tuscany subproject with the goal of producing an implementation independent suite of SDO 2.1 tests. The tests are intended to verify the behavior of an SDO implementation (of which Tuscany/SDO is only one) to the best of our understanding of the spec and as agreed to by the community. Although it is not an official compliance suite, the more community input and SDO implementations that try to run it, the more likely we will "get it right" and it may eventually become an endorsed compliance suite. So please consider contributing tests or pointing out any tests that you believe are not true to the spec. It would be great if we can put together a first release of the CTS in June along with the 1.0 implementation. I'm pleased to say that the Tuscany SDO implementation is currently passing 100% (398/398) of the available CTS tests, but there are still many parts of the spec that are not covered that I'm sure will need fixes in the Tuscany implementation. Let's get this finished so that we can then start moving on to working on new Tuscany features and value adds, and soon enough SDO 3 will be coming around the corner! Thanks again to everyone that helped us get where we are today, and I look forward to the future of SDO. Thanks, Frank. P.S.
