I would second sebastian's response. I must admit we probably don't release often enough. I can't complian really, since sebastian and mike do all the work releasing jmeter. Hopefully I can be more helpful with the 2.1 release, but mike and sebastian are much better at it.
In terms of new features in the next release, I don't know what will get in. The new stuff that I've added, which aren't in 2.0.2 include: distribution graph save listener and samplers to PNG JMS sampler (pub/sub written by me and queue written by Martijn Blankestijn) I still haven't gotten around to writing the EJB sampler, but one day I'll write the sampler :) peter On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 17:13:42 +0000, sebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 17:34:48 +0100, Vincent Hiribarren > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I am doing technological survey for Alcatel's Research & Innovation > > departement.
