Summary: RFC-Editor and IANA Document State Data Exchange
Release Date: Sun, January 20, 2013 at 3:38 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz


This release is a major feature release, which provides the means to do
state synchronization to and from the RFC-Editor and IANA, so that relevant
state changes to drafts and RFCs at any of the 3 organizations can be
picked up and reflected automatically in the tracking system used by the
others.

This release is the last piece of a multi-year effort to make the tracker
provide seamless tracking of state information from the very first beginnngs
of a document (which is provided through the community tracker part of the
IETD datatracker, which lets anyone in the community set up tracking
notifications for their specific set of documents) all the way through the
working group process, IESG processing, to the final IANA and REF-Editor
processing and publication.

There isn't a lot of eye-candy associated with the current release, but
as we get the RFC-Editor and IANA ends set up to use the notification
interfaces provided in this release, the state shown in the datatracker
should faithfully and timely reflect the state changes in the RFC-Editor
and IANA parts of the process.
