Hello everybody.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">I'm glad to announce the first stable milestone release of <a href="http://www.gedcomx.org/Specifications.html" target="_blank">the core GEDCOM X specification set</a>.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">The purpose of the milestone release is to stabilize the specification set so we can support the production release of the <a href="https://familysearch.org/developers/" target="_blank">FamilySearch Developer Platform</a> and to provide a fixed target on which we can base a focus on filling documentation holes and enhancing the developer toolset.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">The core specification set includes:</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/conceptual-model-specification.md" target="_blank">The GEDCOM X Conceptual Model</a> specifies an abstract conceptual model for genealogical data, independent of any serialization format.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/xml-format-specification.md" target="_blank">The GEDCOM X XML Serialization Format</a> specifies how to represent the conceptual model in XML.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/json-format-specification.md" target="_blank">The GEDCOM X JSON Serialization Format</a> specifies how to represent the conceptual model in JSON.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/file-format-specification.md" target="_blank">The GEDCOM X File Format</a> specifies how to bundle up genealogical data into a file.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">In addition to the specification set, we've released version 1.0.0.M1 of the <a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx-java" target="_blank">GEDCOM X Java</a> libraries and the <a href="https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcom5-conversion" target="_blank">GEDCOM 5.5 to GEDCOM X Conversion Utility</a>, which you can experiment with to convert GEDCOM 5.5 files to GEDCOM X files.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">For more information about the GEDCOM X project, see the <a href="http://www.gedcomx.org/" target="_blank">project home page</a>.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">For more information about the milestone release see the <a href="http://familysearch.github.io/gedcomx/2013/06/04/milestone-1.html" target="_blank">blog post</a>.</p>
