IvyDE is making progress much quicker than before thanks to the involvment of Nicolas Lalevée, who has recently become a committer. Unfortunately he's slow down by the time required to process his ICLA, but he already has plenty of very good pending patches, just waiting for him to have his commit rights. Unfortunately, making a release of IvyDE soon would require even more efforts, to clean the code base, make sure we don't have any license issue, reach a satisfying level of stability, and improve our build scripts to be able to have a reproducible and documented release process for IvyDE as we have for Ivy. So without more contribution from outside I think it will be difficult to change our plan which is to release IvyDE when Ivy 2.0 final will be out (and there's still a lot of issues to fix for Ivy 2.0 final, as you can see in JIRA). On a positive note, I'll try to make a build of IvyDE from trunk, run very basic tests, and upload it where I put my own unofficial builds: http://xoocode.org/downloads/tools/ Xavier > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Kito D.
