GitHub has a security announcement about Atom, the text editor used by MetaEd. If you have the latest version, they recommend downgrading to 1.60.0
: We are pleased to release MetaEd 3.2.0
MetaEd is a technology framework that uses an Ed-Fi-aligned domain specific language (DSL) to auto-generate software, database, and data standard artifacts.
The internal Ed-Fi Alliance team uses MetaEd to define and produce core components such as the Ed-Fi Standard Interchange Schema (XSD files), the Ed-Fi ODS (SQL Scripts), and technical documentation from a single source definition written in the MetaEd DSL.
A version of MetaEd called the MetaEd IDE supports the generation of Ed-Fi Extensions and all related artifacts. The MetaEd IDE is freely available to Ed-Fi community members.
On June 6, 2022, GitHub announced that Atom will officially close down on December 15, 2022.
The Ed-Fi Alliance is aware of this change and plans to change MetaEd-IDE over to run with Visual Studio Code instead of Atom in 2023. In the meantime, we expect that the Atom-based distribution will continue to run without any problems.
Roadmap: VS Code support will be in MetaEd 4.0, with plans to release as soon as possible in the first quarter of 2023.
