[Fiware-ecosystem] Final consolidated release of the FIWARE NGSIv2 specifications

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear members of the FIWARE Community,

   After the review period announced in July, we are glad to announce 
the final release of the FIWARE NGSIv2 specifications. The release of 
the specifications can be found at:

    http://fiware.github.io/specifications/ngsiv2/stable/

   As already announced, FIWARE NGSIv1 is declared deprecated.

   NGSIv2 related issues has been re-ordered as follows:

  * No pending issue on "APIv2" label, all them are closed. Details:
    https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AAPIv2
    (336 closed issues)

  * A new label "APIv2-debt" has been created, to include aspects of
    NGSIv2 specification not covered yet in Orion reference
    implementation, i.e. gap between the implementation and the spec.
    Details:
    https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AAPIv2-debt
    (6 issues)

  * A new label "APIv2.1" has been created, to include functionality
    that could expand the current functionality without breaking
    backward compatibility, in order to be included in a future version
    of the API specifications (prospective name: NGSIv2.1). Details:
    https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AAPIv2.1
    (18 issues)


//On the other hand, we would like to announce that the implementation 
of a beta version of the next Orion major release, delivering an 
implementation of the ETSI NGSI-LD API specification, has also been 
initiated.   The ETSI NGSI-LD API specification was born as an evolution 
of NGSIv2, bringing support to Linked Data.

   Goal is that Orion continues working as the open source reference 
implementation of the FIWARE NGSI API in its different versions, 
currently NGSIv2 but ETSI NGSI-LD in the near future, as soon as the 
formal version of the specification is published by ETSI.   That future 
version of Orion will support both NGSIv2 and NGSI-LD, ensuring that 
existing NGSIv2-based applications can run on top of the new version of 
Orion but new application functionalities can be incorporated using the 
NGSI-LD API without problems.  In this respect, context data provided 
using the NGSIv2 API will be able to be managed using the NGSI-LD API 
and, similarly, it will be feasible to provide context data created 
using the NGSI-LD API which can be further managed using the FIWARE 
NGSIv2 API.

   Best regards,
