Relese 0.4 of NeuDist has just been released at http://neudist.org

NeuDist is a Java based clearing framework for developing financial web services on the Neubia distributed clearing platform.

Most of the core layers are working and relatively complete now.

You can see an example of a user authentication application here.

While this example uses User Authentication "Tickets", you will be able to use the technology to authenticate and clear virtually anything that can be described in XML.

In particular Payments or as we call them Asset Transfers. This is the next layer of the platform and will be implemented in the next release. We will use an XML format similar to XML/X (http://xml-x.org) and have a sample payment application available based on gold backed currencies.

In the next 3 months we hope to have the following types of applications live:
- Book Entry Asset Transfer (Payment, Stock Issuance etc.)
- Exchange Applications (Auction and Stock Exchange type)

Much of the software for writing applications like the above will be open source and will allow for easy integration into existing systems.

We are interested in hearing from anyone who has interesting ideas for applications.

We are slowly but surely adding more documentation, but please ask questions and join the mailing lists. ;-)
