July 1st, 2009: openTRANS update - openTRANS 2.1fd is now ready for download

First of all: The feedback for the new standard is overwhelming and very positive and we really appreciate this and are happy about this success! Since publication of version 2.0 in october last year we recieved a lot of feedback about smaller mistakes in the documentation and smaller improvements in the standard. We have done our homework and now present to you the final draft update to openTRANS 2.1fd. This is a smaller update mainly to solve some issues in the documentation. We have we done?

Beside improvements of the documentation we implemented some pre-defined values for card-payment, allowances and charges for the orderresponse-document-header, changed the structure of the xml-signature and adapted the regular expression of dtADJUSTMENT_REASON_CODES. Additionally we present to you the english version and a small example of the invoice-document. You can use this example as a helping hand for the other documents as well since the structure is very similar.

openTRANS 2.1fd (final draft) is intended to replace version 2.0. Like always we plan a public review-phase for this version where you can tell us your suggestions and ideas. Larger change-request probably do not find their way into this version 2.1 since it is planned as a minor update. Nethertheless if you have such requests we will care about them and keep them on-hold for a later version.

Good luck for implementations and usage of the standard and again, many thanks for the positive feedback and the good advices for this version!
