New Releases

Today we are highlighting two releases that the COmanage Project has had since our last newsletter: Registry v4.3.5, and Registry v5.0.0 Milestone Release 13. We hope to see you on Friday at our next Open Office Hours to hear more about these releases and what we have in the works for the rest of the year. 

Open Office Hours - September 13

Do you have a question about deploying or configuring Registry or Match? Want to get some input on a solution architecture design? Want to hear how your colleagues in the community are solving problems similar to yours? Each month, we gather for the Open Office Hours, a platform where you can bring your topics for discussion to the call. No need to register or spin up a presentation (but feel free if it suits you!); just show up! A short conversation starter kicks off each session to help get the discussion started. This is a great opportunity to connect with your peers, share your experiences, and learn from others.

Friday, September 13 at 12:00 PM (America/New York)
(no registration necessary)

2024 Topic Aperitif: COmanage Registry 5.0 Update

Much of the COmanage Project development team is focused on development toward the release of COmanage Registry 5.0. We will kick off each Office Hours in 2024 with a brief update on the latest developments.

COmanage Registry Release v4.3.5

On August 28, Internet2 and the COmanage Project announced the next Milestone Release release of COmanage Registry version 4.3.5. This release is a maintenance release. This version contains various bug fixes. Thank you to all who have reported bugs they found, as well as Internet2 and others who have provided the financial resources to support the fixes.

Review the upgrade notes and full release notes to upgrade to this version.

COmanage Registry Release v5.0.0 MR13

On September 10, the COmanage Project announced the release of COmanage Registry version 5.0.0, Milestone Release 13. This release includes

• Core Job Plugin, with support for Assigner, Provisioner, and Sync Jobs

• SQL External Identity Source Plugin

• SQL Provisioning Plugin

• Pipeline Plugins

• Person Role Mapper Pipeline Plugin

• Improvements to the People Picker

• Various bug fixes, especially for Pipelines

You can find details about this release, including how to gain access to it, in the release announcement.

Many thanks to the following organizations that provided funding for MR 13:

• The CILogon Project and the University of Illinois

• SCG Collaboration Group

• Southern Methodist University

• And an additional funder (pending disclosure approval)

What is Registry v5.0.0 (aka, Registry PE)? As we mentioned in Newsletter #20, Registry v5.0.0 is a significant investment in Registry’s code framework. This work includes a review of how Registry use has evolved over the past 14 years and an update of the code and data structures so that they are more effective and efficient for today’s users. 

Updates are being managed as Milestone Releases (MR) until the first deployer is ready to go to production, at which point we will release v5.0.0 final. Each MR includes functionality that has been migrated to the new framework.  The Milestone Releases that have been completed so far:

• MR1 - Core Person Models

• MR2 - Person Roles

• MR3 - External Identities

• MR4 - Groups and COUs

• MR5 - Authorization

• MR6 - Global Search

• MR7 - Plugin Infrastructure

• MR8 - Jobs

• MR9 - Provisioning

• MR10 - Identifier Assignment

• MR11 - External Identity Sources

• MR12 - Message Templates and Notification

• MR13 - Plugins!

About The COmanage Project

COmanage is an Open Source Project that is focused on streamlining digital lifecycle management for your populations. It consists of two tools: Registry and Match. 

COmanage Registry is an identity registry with flexible enrollment and lifecycle management capabilities that helps you meet your identity management objectives using standardized tools and approaches. It can be used as a central person registry, a guest management system, or a collaboration hub for scholarly collaborations.

COmanage Match performs identity de-duplication in order to help minimize the creation of duplicate accounts for the same individual. It provides a heuristic-based system for matching identity records across multiple authoritative systems of record. Match can be used with Registry or as a standalone product complementary to your other tools.
