Announcement: publication of ISO/IEC standard 18670

[Roberto Di Cosmo]

Dear all,
     it is a great pleasure to announce that as of today, April 23rd 2025, the SWHID specification has officially been published as ISO/IEC standard 18670,

that you can find online at: https://www.iso.org/standard/89985.html Congratulations!

As a consequence, the following updates have been made to the official SWHID website and the development repository:
The (minor) modifications that emerged through the ISO/IEC PAS process have been backported to the publicly available specifications, with version number 1.2, which is now available at  https://github.com/swhid/specification/releases/tag/v1.2
A branch named "v1.2" has been created in the GH repository of the specification (see https://github.com/swhid/specification/tree/v1.2): it will allow us to update the v1.2 with minor changes if needed
The link to the specification from https://swhid.org now points to the released version v1.2 (https://www.swhid.org/specification/v1.2/)
The version selector available on the top left of the specification page, has been updated: we have "v1.2" as the default, as well as "v1.0" and "v1.1" for the previous approved specifications and "dev" that is currently identical to v1.2, as we just released v1.2

Please do share the news broadly: ISO/IEC 18670, which has identical content to v1.2 here, is the final specification, and all interested stakeholders can rely on it as solid ground for implementation.

All the best
