The pipe and interface polices are valid, but 90% discussion and 10% implementation. IRP policies are no longer applicable, since the API was simplified. Error codes are always welcome, but I think I got a good number of them, if you know of any more of course let us know. The security issue is also 90% discussion and 10% implementation. Policies, security, and exceptions are all backwards-compatible; they are add-ons to the current API, so any applications writing to the current API will still work. The only thing holding up JSR80 from becoming "official" is the TCK, there is no TCK written yet. >We'd really appreciate it if any of you could guide us in terms of what >reading up to do etc. Also, we'd like to know how much really is left to >be done - the version 0.10 suggests that the API RI is far from complete >- is that true?

The TCK needs to be done, which involves a TCK spec and implementation, and probably also a Cypress USB developement board. If you want to write an implementation for Windows, that would be really great! -- Dan Streetman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------- 186,272 miles per second: It isn't just a good idea, it's the law! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
