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:

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.

If you'd rather download these movies than view them online, you can
do that as well:

Thanks for using AppFuse!

Matt
