Hello everyone - hopefully you're having a great holiday break if you're celebrating. My vacation begins in a few hours and I hope to get a lot of (downhill) skiing in over the next several days[1].
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know we're all still hard at work on AppFuse 2.0. We're actually pretty close to finishing up our goals for M2[2], but we haven't written as much documentation as we'd like, hence the lack of an M1 release. I was hoping to get 2.0-M1 out by the end of the year, but it doesn't look like it'll happen. We only have around 20 issues[3] to finish for the release, but most developers are on vacation for the next week or more. With any luck, we'll have a release out in the first half of January. The main thing that's going to take a while is me writing documentation. If you're interested in using 2.0 now, you can certainly ask questions (please search first!) on the dev mailing list[4], or view the QuickStart Guide at http://dev.appfuse.org/display/APF/QuickStart+Guide. In order to show you what we have in mind with AppFuse 2.0, I created a "Hello World" video. You can view it at: http://static.appfuse.org/movies/2.0/helloworld.mov (20.5 MB) I created a similar one showing how to do CRUD a few weeks ago. Please keep in mind we've changed some things since I made this - but it should give you a good idea how we've simplified the backend with Generic Managers and DAOs. http://static.appfuse.org/movies/2.0/struts2-crud.mov (17.3 MB) If you'd rather download these movies than view them online, you can do that as well: http://static.appfuse.org/movies/2.0/2.0-videos.zip (36.1 MB) Thanks for using AppFuse!
