Finally!  Artificer 1.0.0.Alpha1 has just been released!  This is several "firsts" for the project.  1.) Obviously, this is the first 1.0 release!  2.) We're finally able to claim full conformance with the OASIS S-RAMP specification.  3.) This is the first release under the new "Artificer" name!

There are several caveats that will need addressed when upgrading from Overlord S-RAMP to Artificer 1.0.  Check out the migration guide: Chapter 13. Migration Guides.  Note that there are a few migration tasks that have been purposefully left unfinished.  If you bump up against any of them, please contact us ASAP.  We're more than willing to work on additional migration tools, but are handling them case-by-case.
