The Deliverable for Stardust will be unchanged compared to version 1.0. See https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/soa.stardust/releases/1.0 for reference.
Stardust 4.1 will be backward-compatible regarding all interfaces such as:
- APIs
- Eclipse workspace
For upgrading issues introduced with earlier releases, please refer to chapter Upgrading to Later Versions. There you find all upgrading steps necessary for your specific version.
XML Namespace Validation has become stricter
Note that XML namespaces validation has become stricter. In case you use custom solutions or services built on top of the stardust platform with a version earlier than 2.0 and they send or receive XML containing loosely defined namespaces, please follow the instructions described in section Solution of chapter Upgrading to Later Versions to make your XMLs follow the correct XML namespacing standards.
Stardust core APIs and services are not impacted because Stardust APIs and services use proper XML namespacing standards.
For further information please consult the releasenotes.
Stardust already is competely relying on externalized message bundles and unicode character handling throughout the product. This has been excessively tested in the code baseline on several occasions. Hence, code-wise we should be well prepared for internationalization. The Neon code baseline will contain message bundles for English and German.
