CWE 1.0 to be released Tuesday, September 9, 2008

All,

We will be releasing CWE 1.0 on Tuesday, September 9.

While we had a goal for everything to be finished by the end of August, we
want CWE 1.0 to be as stable as possible, especially with respect to the
schema.  Ironing out the issues with the schema has taken more time than
we wanted, plus we have added a number of new elements.

During our interactions with various community members over the summer,
we've realized that it would be best for us to write a number of white
papers, as well as creating some new views.  These were somewhat
unexpected additions that came in July and August, so this introduced more
work than we had originally expected.

We didn't want to release CWE 1.0 too early, only to make some more
changes soon after we released it because it was incomplete.  So we've
slipped in our schedule, but the quality will be higher.

This is our biggest release to date, and we believe that it will be worth
the wait.  Thank you for your patience.


- Steve
