That's a good point... Anyone with any ideas or feature requests which are not listed out in the email below and would like to see in the next version of the server should get them to WT or Phil asap. It's not too late, but it soon will be.

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 ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
