55 -The 2.0 [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] of this standard represented a significant increase in scope, and also provided more complete support in those areas covered in the [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] 1.0 specification.

57 -The 2.1 (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) of this standard represents a set of changes resulting from several years of implementation experience with the 2.0 standard. The changes do not represent a major increase in scope or functionality, but do correct some bugs, and add functionalities in some cases. Major changes in [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] include a much stronger alignment of the XML Schemas with the Information Model, to emphasize inheritance and object-oriented features, and increased precision and flexibility in the attachment of metadata reports to specific objects in the [[SDMX Information Model>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]].

59 -The 3.0 (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) incorporates new features, improvements and changes arising from the collective knowledge gained from a decade of operating experience with the 2.1 standard. In pursuit of modernisation and simplification, features considered obsolete have been deprecated – in particular the EDI transmission format, the lesser-used XML data messages and the SOAP web services API. Many areas remain backwardly compatible with 2.1, but there are some breaking changes where the information model has been redesigned to better support practical use case. Structure mapping and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Reference metadata.WebHome]] are examples. The opportunity has been taken to revise the RESTful web services API which is also not backwardly compatible, but benefits from a rationalisation and better organisations of resources, and a much richer data query URL syntax.
