Great I guess I need to review the cheque amount By the way, how is the new job going? Mike -----Original Message----- It is our summer break down here in will be running with minimal staff until the 9th January as most
of us head off for some R&R. The support queues will continue to
be monitored and there will some engineering staff available for emergencies and to attend to issues that arise from SLAs. I am also taking a few weeks break with the family over summer
but before I do I would like to share a little information on where we
are with the new Dev Studio and Server. 2006 is shaping up to be an eventful year for us as all the work
we have been quietly doing in 2005 will be released. The new 6.0
server is on track for a Q3 release and will have many new features.
There are new actions for LDAP, Mail reading, file system (directory manipulation), SOAP, Perl integration with the script action, a
new builder action, redundant mail servers, DOM and Array ResultSets,
ResultSets and counters in methods will be method scope, private methods, methods that only expose their interface and not their implementation, multiple classes per TCF, administration of db connections as well as a lot of other minor changes and enhancements. Upgrading from a Witango 5.5 solution will
be seamless without any recoding as the plumbing we need to be able
to deliver 6.0 was done in the 5.0 and 5.5 servers. The Dev Studio is on track. The focus of the rebuild of the DS
has been to allow us to move forward with a single stream of code.
We have also redesigned the interface to modernise it, simplify it, provide easier access to the actions and reduce the number of
windows you have to manage. I have attached a screen shot of the
latest build from this morning which we have running on Linux, Windows, OS
X and Solaris. We are currently testing it on ourselves and I
hope to have an early beta out in February for those who like living on
the edge. It will be backward compatible with the Witango Server
5.5 server if you do not use the new actions. If you find it
stable enough you will be able to switch over to it to overcome some of
the issue we have not been able to rectify in the 5.5 dev studios due
to its dependancy on ancient (1996) libraries and frameworks (early nineties). ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf |
