HMDA Platform v1.0.0

Release 1.0.0

Goals for this release

This first release of the HMDA platform is intended to provide the basic functional components of the platform, in a working form, in order to promote transparency in our work. This platform is in very early stages of development and is not intended for production use at this time. There are three code repositories connected to this 1.0.0 release: hmda-platform, hmda-platform-ui, and hmda-platform-auth

Features Included in this release

This release establishes the basic functionality for the HMDA platform backend, the user interface, and the authentication components. Specific features include:

1. Authentication: users can register and authenticate accounts and the system can validate authorized users
2. The platform allows authorized users to upload a valid 2017 HMDA file
3. The platform will parse the 2017 HMDA file and confirm file validity.
4. Authorized users can perform validation on their uploaded HMDA file, against 2017 Syntactical, Validity and Quality edits. (Macro edits not yet feature complete).
5. The system will report edit errors to users, storing intermediate results (i.e. to correct quality edits).
6. Authorized users can confirm their data submission and conclude the HMDA filing process.

Known Issues

This is early release version of the platform and will not be stable.
