Hi, Version 1.1 has been working well in alpha test on our local network for weeks now. Check it out build 0.070 @ http://the.bang.is/ Javadocs @ http://the.bang.is/dev/javadocs/ We have just managed to get the Jini/JavaSpaces services up and running on the public Internet. The server is unstable, running pre1 of Java2 JDK1.2 on Linux. We'll be clearing the persistent database all the time so if you build something beautiful don't excpect it to persist. We plan to release build0.071 - Bang 1.1 beta1 on next monday the 15. of March and from that point in time the bangSpace server will be persistent. New Features: -Infinite(**) Shared Persistent Space (bangSpace) -Sector system for handling loading and unloading of chunks of space/geometry -bangMaps, navigational tool for navigating 2D websites in 3D -Meta-Authoring, insert VRML97, J3D, SpaceMark & bangMaps into the space and build your own worlds. Currently you can only insert object, but in beta2 you'll be able to move/rot/scale all object entries. This is not intended to author geometry, but as a space assembly tool. -Memory monitor with history graph -Bang now includes the Jini implemenation from Sun Microsystems The persistent model is built using Jini and JavaSpaces. Current todo list: -Fix the 3D compass -Implement the new VNet and extend it to support the Sector system for shared behavoirs -Implement the Sector unloading part (garbage collection) -Select and Delete objects from bangSpace. -... -.. -. (**) Infinite to the limit of the Java3D coordinate system.
