Morning all, In the light of the appended mail, and other comments on the users list, I think we need to make a new Milestone release of src & binary, I've built and tested the dist from the HEAD of CVS on win & linux a few times over the last few days and it seems to be stable, except for the jdk1.4 issue. There seems to be no major changes to the code on-going at the moment, and there are a number of bugs and enhancements in CVS since 2.0a1
I dont think it helps our cause, hell its worse its *embarassing*, that the latest version available has a showstopping bug in POP, I'm frustrated that I can't direct people to the James site and say "download the latest binary and try it out". James is a cool thing and I think we should make a few right moves now so we can start to "sell" James to friends and collegues. It would also be nice to see people starting to distribute 3rd party Mailets, and Mailets to my mind are a killer feature of James lets not allow anyone else the opportunity to develop a Mailet container that is preferable to James, we know the ball is rolling, but to outsiders it may well appear to have stalled. I'd be happy to propose myself as release manager if that would help, and carry out the following actions, 1/ prepare a release plan 2/ branch CVS 3/ coordinate bug fixing 4/ build the dist what I can't do, no account on deadalus, is update the website, but if no-one else wants to I can try and get one. d. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kaleb Axon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 11:26 PM > To: James Users List > Subject: current version of James? > > > The web site says that the current version of James is 2.0a1.
