The JRC registry team are happy to announce a new candidate release of the INSPIRE registry and registers, which is based on the v1.0 release candidate of the Re3gistry software. Before officially publishing these, we would like to invite you to participate in the testing of both the content and new functionalities of the service and the software.

For this purpose, we have set up two test instances:

• The testing instance for the candidate release of the INSPIRE registry and registers contains all content and functionality that are proposed to be included in the final release 5 of the INSPIRE registry.
• For testing the new functionalities of the Re3gistry software, a "sandbox" instance of the software has been set up, whose content can be freely modified through the instance's administration interface. Please note that the content and identifiers (URIs) of this instance are not authoritative, and the register content may be cleaned up from time to time.

Instructions for testing as well as the draft documentation for the new INSPIRE registry service and Re3gistry software are available in a specific sub-project in the MIG collaboration space.

The testing will run until Monday, 23 January 2015.

If you are interested in testing new release candidates of the software or service, please register in the MIG collaboration space and send an e-mail to inspire-registry-dev@jrc.ec.europa.eu.

Questions, issues for discussions, bugs and suggestions for new features can be submitted in the issue tracker. Note that in order to submit new issues, you have to be signed into the collaboration space and have been assigned to the testing project. Please also check the existing issues before submitting a new issue.
