Congratulations and well done to All! But a
note of special thanks to Andre -- who has
in the past coupel of years steered the document
through the process.
Thanks Andre!
> Hi Folx,
>
> as of today, GFD.90 is officially a full OGF recommendation!
> Congratulations to us all :-)
>
> On a technical note: we (GFSG) decided to keep the GFD number as is,
> and replace the document with the updated spec.  The reason is that
> all (known) implementations are implementing the revised specification
> already, and the API changes to the previous revision are well
> document and mostly backward compatible.  The document now refers to
> the API as "SAGA Core API Version 1.1", so that version is what our
> implementations are compliant with.  The document now also contains an
> additional paragraph explaining the documents evolution.
>
> The other SAGA document which are currently in the OGF pipeline are
> proceeding nicely - the core-experience document is officially ready
> to be published, and just needs to pass some formal amendments
> (assigning GFD number etc).  The Message API and the Advert API
> extensions are in final GFSG review, and should be past that in about
> two weeks, and then also ready for publication as P-REC.  No changes
> are expected to the documents at the moment.
>
> For completeness I'd like to list the next four TODO items, in respect
> to document business:
>
>    - C++ language bindings
>    - Python language bindings
>    - Java language bindings
>    - resource discover/management extension
>
> Unless there is progress on these items it is likely useless to
> discuss them *again*, but please keep in mind that not having those is
> holding us back in several places...

> Best, Andre.
