Platform Usability Release

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

2idi Corporation has released stable-0.7.6 of the Identity Commons Core I-Broker, now powering its public i-broker servers at http://2idi.com/.

This is primarily a (technical) usability release with many small changes in the Service Provider Interface Toolkit (aka SPIT) API, contact page enhancements including a new reply capability, and a normalized i-number database (harmonizing the first three versions into what we believe is a solid fourth version of the i-number specification). In addition, this blog is i-name enabled (via the SPIT API and a Wordpress plugin that Mike wrote) allowing comments from anyone with an i-name.

Big shout-outs to Michael Mell and Victor Grey who led the way towards the creation of what may be the last pre-SAML F/OSS (Free and Open Source Software) i-broker code releases. Look for big things coming down the pike as we upgrade our single sign-on protocols to be SAML-2.0 compliant. (And for those looking at the UI and not seeing much -if any- improvement, have no fear as that’s where we’re headed with the next release.)

As usual, the code can be downloaded from our subversion repository using the commands found at this link.
