Administrative XML Developers,

The AXL Namespace for Unified CM 8.5(1) will continue to align with the Unified CM release number as follows:
Release 6.0 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/6.0
Release 6.1 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/6.1
Release 7.0 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/7.0
Release 7.1 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/7.1
Release 8.0 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/8.0
Release 8.5 = AXL namespace http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/8.5

Our survey revealed a 50/50 split of Developers who prefer the namespace to align with the Unified CM release (as shown above) vs retaining a single namespace for all releases.

Another Partner survey is planned for our 9.0 release which will be sent to the entire Developer Partner eco-system to help ensure the AXL interface is meeting everyone's needs.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at geogary@cisco.com

Best-
