The ebxmlrr project [1] of freebxml.org [2] is pleased to announce a new production-ready release of its ebXML Registry: ebxmlrr 2.1-final1.

An XML registry/repository is a critical piece of infrastructure for organizations to increase the efficiency of their business. The XML registry/repository is a versatile tool which helps to given employees, customers, and partners (internally and externally) scaleable, searchable, customizable, and secure role based access to critical information using standard protocols. The repository can store XML, web services, or any other type of data, and the registry manages the entire life cycle of information in the repository using sophisticated meta-data technology.

The 2.1-final1 release includes the following new features:

  • Web Content Management capability

  • Locale sensitive Registry Browser
  • XML based fully configurable Registry Browser
  • Usability improvements in Registry Browser
