OMF MDS 2.0.2 Patch Released

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello OMF Community,

The latest MDS 2.0.2 patch release is now live, after a few months of development, review, and public meetings! This patch simply fixes some minor issues, links, and typos to help make the specification clearer - it does not substantively change MDS 2.0 in any way. The code has been merged into both the 'dev' and 'main' branches of MDS.

The final release notes and detailed changes are here:

https://github.com/openmobilityfoundation/mobility-data-specification/releases/tag/2.0.2 

Read our Version Guidance to know how and when to upgrade your MDS versions. As of now the only supported release is MDS 2.0.x - prior versions like MDS 1.2 or 1.1 are deprecated and no longer supported, so please upgrade to 2.0 now.

Thanks go to all the wonderful public and private member volunteers of our Working Group Steering Committee, and organizations like INRIX, SFMTA, Populus, MobilityData, DeutscheBahnConnect, Starship, MyWheels, Flamingo, GoSharing, HelloRide, and Scooty for working on this patch. 

The OMF community is working on the creation of MDS 2.1 by the end of the year with crash/incident data, more real-time digital policy, clearer AV/robotaxi support, fixed route bus/shuttle support, and connections to other specifications. Join our meeting tomorrow to talk about some of these topics.

Please join our working group meetings and open GitHub issues to participate and bring your ideas.

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle
