A GEDCOM 5.5 to GEDCOM X Converter has been released. The utility leverages the open-source GEDCOM 5.5 parsing library contributed by Dallan Quass and the open-source GEDCOM X file format writer contributed by FamilySearch. This converter follows the Legacy GEDCOM Migration Path as detailed by the GEDCOM X project.
You must run the utility from the command line; no GUI interface is available. The Converter appears to be a "work-in-progress," not a polished final product. I would suggest this utility is for advanced computer users only.
The GEDCOM 5.5 to GEDCOM X Converter is available at https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcom5-conversion.
