It's time to celebrate! The latest and greatest version of
Eclipse Dirigible - 5.0 is now officially released in the Open Source world!
Beyond just being the
5th major release of
Dirigible for the
last 5 years, it's also a very special milestone for us, the Dirigible crew. It's time to
recognize and
celebrate the last five years of
efforts and hard work in the Eclipse Foundation, five years of
innovations and renovations, five years of
turbulent cloud technologies, five years of
ups and downs, and five years of
amazing memories in the community ...
... and finally after 5 years in the Eclipse Foundation, we've successfully grown from “an incubation project” to a mature project with an active community, stable builds and regular releases.
more than 3,000 commits, since the "Initial commit" on 11 May 2015 in eclipse/dirigible
Dirigible Labs
One repository is not enough to hold the entire Dirigible project and all of the innovations that are happening around it. Several years ago, we realized that there is a need for a separate GitHub organization, where the community could unleash its innovative spirit and grow ideas independently from the main repository.
almost 400 repositories full of samples, core components, extension modules, APIs, clients, templates and more at DirigibleLabs
SAP Origin
It's also time to remember our roots - Dirigible was initially open-sourced by SAP in the official SAP GitHub organization at:
http://github.com/SAP/cloud-dirigible.
It's been a long road since then, but the project goal hasn't changed a bit -
make the business applications development in the cloud great (again)!

"Eclipse Dirigible just turned five years in open source. Five years in Eclipse Foundation within the Eclipse Cloud Development group. Five years of innovations with many friends around the globe, lots of realised dreams, first-class happiness."
- Nedelcho Delchev, Celebrating 5 years in Open Source

For the next Dirigible 6.0 release we are planning to focus the project goals onto more Low-Code capabilities and turning Dirigible into Low-Code Application Platform (LCAP):

- Templates separation - separation on Database, Entities, APIs, and UI templates
- More templates - OData, Open UI5, Fiori Elements, React, ...
- Mobile application capabilities
- WYSWYG editor(s) for building custom forms
- Integration with Kyma
- Integration with Luigi
