STIX 1.1 Release Planning

Release Status

This STIX 1.1 release candidate is now published on the STIX website: http://stix.mitre.org/language/version1.1/

Please review, test, and evaluate to ensure that it doesn't have any bugs or introduce any regressions. At this point, bugs will be addressed and fixed but new features will be deferred to the next major or minor release.

Release Timeline

• Initial Draft: January 16 – This will incorporate all major changes except versioning and revocation and a vast majority of minor changes. It should let you get an early look at the overall picture of most of what is included in the new version.
• Draft 2: February 3 – This will incorporate all major and minor changes. It should let you see the overall picture of the new version, but there will almost certainly be bug fixes or other minor changes between this draft and the release candidate as we finalize the schemas and do testing.
• Release Candidate: February 11 – This will be equivalent to the final release unless any issues in it are identified. Its primary purpose is to allow everyone to do some final testing to ensure that what is published as the final release is as bug-free as possible.
• Final Release: February 20 – This is the final, official release. If any issues are found in the release candidate they will be fixed, otherwise this will just be a re-release of the release candidate.
