v1.0 Final buildingSMART Standard

The buildingSMART Final Standard, as approved by the Standards Committee Executive, after a unanimous positive voting result from the Standards committee.

What's changed since 0.9.7:

• Updated the enumeration of IFC 4.3 to the official STEP/EXPRESS used 'IFC4X3_ADD2' to stay consistent with official buildingSMART use and versions.

Thank you

This release was a multi-year effort in 3 stages:

• User requirements stage led by Cyrille Pennavaire
• Development stage led by Robin Drogemuller and Sara Omrani
• Validation stage led by Claudio Benghi

In total, it involved over 200 people from 34 different countries. On release there are over 20 known products to implement IDS. An IDS Audit tool helps developers implement the standard consistently.

Thank you all for your long term contributions!

Further standardisation

There are talks to get this IDS standard published as CEN and/or ISO standard. More info on that will follow later.
