Dear SBML-using community,

The SBML Editors are pleased to announce the availability
of the Release 1 Candidate specification for
SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core. It is now available from

http://sbml.org/Documents/Specifications

and the SBML project on SourceForge.net. It will shortly be
available from Nature Precedings as well.

This specification is labeled "Release 1 Candidate" until
two independent software implementations are reported by the
SBML-using community. At that time, if no significant
errors are reported, the specification will be considered
final. Release 1 of SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core will not be
modified further unless errors are found.

Please report issues with this specification using the
simple, streamlined reporting form indicated on the front
page of the specification and on the sbml.org pages. (It's
a live link -- just click it to be sent to the web form.)

An explanation is warranted regarding one issue: unlike past
specification documents, there are no XML Schemas in this
one. Our plan is to create and issue the schemas as
separate companion documents, and to produce RELAX NG
schemas and probably also Schematron schemas, instead of XML
Schemas. Thus, there will be forthcoming documents titled
"The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML): RELAX NG Schema
for Level 3 Version 1 Core", etc.

We would like to thank all of the many members of the SBML
community for their current support and use of SBML. (And a
special thanks to Nicolas Le Novere for extra feedback this
past week.)

The 2009 SBML Editors:
