X-Road® 7 "Unicorn" beta version released

The first beta version of X-Road® 7 "Unicorn" has been released. The beta version of the Security Server software provides a sneak peek to the X-Road 7 look and feel.

The beta is a visually enhanced version that provides the same features as the latest X-Road 6.25.0 release. Beta versions with new features will be released in 2021 before the first production release.

X-Road is being developed iteratively using agile software development methods. All the changes in X-Road 7 will not be included in the first production version but in various minor versions over time.

X-Road is open-source software and ecosystem solution that provides unified and secure data exchange between organisations. X-Road is a digital public good verified by the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and it’s released under the MIT open source license and is available free of charge.

X-Road identified as one of the key projects by the Digital Public Goods Alliance

X-Road® has been reviewed by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA) and found to be a digital public good in alignment with the Digital Public Goods Standard.

The Digital Public Goods Standard is a set of specifications and guidelines designed to maximize consensus about whether something conforms to the definition of digital public goods laid out by the UN Secretary-General in the 2020 Roadmap to Digital Cooperation.

X-Road now appears in the digital public goods registry where it will be discoverable as a digital public good and reflected on a growing network of catalogues and aggregated lists of digital public goods.

Besides, X-Road has been identified by the DPGA Financial Inclusion Community of Practice as one of seven key projects at the critical intersection of digital public goods (DPGs) and digital public infrastructures (DPIs).
