As part of our continuous improvement efforts to the Pilot E-Invoicing Solution (Fatoora), SDK was enhanced to make it more user friendly and straightforward to use. Moreover, we developed a set of complimentary documents to aid you.

Note: please refer to the “Readme” folder in the SDK for a description about this latest release.

This version fixes a security issue that was identified in the java component log4j that allowed unauthenticated remote code execution and access to servers.

This is the first version of the SDK.
