Dear all,
As decided during the last PSC meeting, we are glad to present the new released version of the ZOO-Project!

This new release contains new features and fixes.

Amongst new features, we can quote the docker-compose environment created by Samuel Souk-Aloun which offer to deploy the ZOO-Project with few very simple services. We may also refer to the new support of the OGC API - Processes. Indeed, this version offers a preview of the current, slightly modified, standard as discussed at OGC. Also, with this new OGC API - Processes comes support a specific basic web user interface that let the user browse and execute services.
