I did not hear that part. It would be real bad not to be able to call j.dll from other applications (including--but not so critical--COM). > * This executable will essentially be a combination of what j.dll > and jconsole are today. > * The current frontends are deprecated in J7. More specifically, WD is no more. Very sad and surprising, given that in Chris' words, it is considered one of the best JSoftware desings. Good news is that it may be re-implemented as an addon with clients for different platforms, including web. > * The primary FE in J7 will be GTK-based.
