WSO2 Governance Registry 3.0.0 Release Notes

8th July 2009

The WSO2 Governance Registry team is pleased to announce the 3.0.0 release of the WSO2 Governance Registry product. WSO2 Governance Registry is a flexible and user-friendly enterprise governance registry and repository solution made available under the Apache Software License v2.0. WSO2 Governance Registry is shipped pre-loaded with tools help enforce governance best practices that would drive up governance adoption. The 3.0.0 version of the WSO2 Governance Registry is based on WSO2's componentized SOA platform known as WSO2 Carbon, and allows Governance Registry users benefit from the flexibility and extensibility provided by the Carbon platform. WSO2 Governance Registry can be either used as a complete product or used incombination with components of other WSO2 products. User specific components, extensions or UIs to the WSO2 Governance Registry can be easily added as Carbon components.

We are striving to achieve a balance between a simplified structure and a comprehensive solution that'd still attract the novice user whilst still catering the experienced.
