5.   PRs (Dave)

6.   Issues (Dave)

  • #587 - FAPI Acronym
    • Suggestion for a new FAPI acronym - Formally Analyzed Protection Interface
    • linked with #588 - Errata to remove "Financial-grade" references from FAPI1.
    • Should just use FAPI and not mention any acronym.
    • FAPI became a family of protocols
    • People are still associating FAPI with Financial-grade API
    • Formally analyzed is an afterthought and was not a design goal and may not apply to all specs in the FAPI family
    • Name is being updated in new OIDF website design
    • Just be persistent to call it FAPI and not associate it with Financial-grade.
  • #570 - Deprecation & removal of FAPI 1 Implementer's Draft conformance certification tests/programme
    • OBIE getting ready to transition to FAPI1 final sometime next year
    • Joseph is in discussions with them regarding implications
  • #586 - Version identifier for FAPI 2.0
    • To avoid mix-up of protocol versions, it’s good practice to put version number in the protocol
    • Discussed before regarding where the version will go, e.g. client registration
    • It was decided that it’s difficult to work with older version and various profiles
    • Duplicate of #469 - Add protocol version and variant identifier
  • #585 - Add text about conformance testing to FAPI2
    • Awaiting PR
  • #588 - Errata for FAPI 1.0 to fix the title.
