New version of X-Road published by the ​Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions

Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) has for the first time published a new version of X-Road data exchange layer. Estonia and Finland developed X-Road together from 2015 until June 2018 when the development was handed over to NIIS.

Next level in the Estonian-Finnish cross-border collaboration

"Releasing this X-Road core version is a big step for NIIS as it’s the first version released by the institute. It is also an important milestone to our members, Estonia and Finland, because until now they have published their own releases using a shared code base. Now NIIS is taking the collaboration to the next level by moving to common releases", says Petteri Kivimäki, CTO of NIIS.

New version provides improvements and bug fixes

X-Road core version 6.19.0 was published on 28th September 2018 and it provides multiple minor improvements and bug fixes. Improvements include enhancement regarding performance, certificates and recovery from service breaks. In addition, documentation for developers has been improved to provide more detailed instructions on X-Road development.

X-Road core is released under the MIT open source license and is available free of charge for any individual or organization.
