[DAS] 1.6 specification release

[Andy Jenkinson]

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that since the last draft of 1.6, only clarifications to the text have been required and therefore the specification is considered fit for release. This is due to happen on Tuesday 19th October (I will be away from now until the 18th). On this date, although future revisions to the specification text are possible, the meaning and functionality will be frozen. The BioDAS website will be updated and an information page will be in place to help developers of clients and servers deal with any version compatibility issues arising from the switchover. In particular a list of clients and projected dates for 1.6 support.

More details to follow in due course.

Cheers,
Andy
