Highlights

Release of COBIA 1.2.0.9 is being prepared by CO-LaN. M&T SIG reviewed ticket 124 and defined a strategy regarding the issue described through this ticket. The issue will not be fixed since it originates in a bug within other tools. The ticket description was beefed up to be used as explanation when releasing COBIA 1.2.0.9. With that decided, release of COBIA 1.2.0.9 can be carried out.

Specification of tests on implementation of Identification Common Interface specification: while describing the tests to be performed to verify the compliancy wth the CAPE-OPEN standard of any implementation of a specifically designated interface, the document is going to be used as a template for other documents pertaining to other interfaces. So the structure of the document was improved to make it more generic.
