Hi all, if you wonder where Proximity goes these days..... :)
First of all, the RC4.2 is the latest release and is stabilized with current features and despite it's RC mark it is stable for production use. Prior 1.0.0 "final" release, we had to make a stop to implement some "larger" features and fix reported bugs. Some of the most important are: - dynamic repository configuration (since most of the support request was all about it) - WebDAV interface for direct Proximity deployment (2nd most asked feature) - using embedded POM in maven generated artifacts as metadata source instead of "plain" POM files only - expanding artifact info page and "do something with dependencies" (either adding links to follow them and/or visualization) - adding functionality to "dive into" JAR, WAR, etc files without downloading them locally to inspect it's content like log4j.properties, etc. - implementing negative-cache feature - polishing and extending WS iface The first two feature will be implemented by AbstractHorizon-s "inhouse" artifacts, using spring-extension (the opposite of xml bean definition reader from the Spring Framework, by serializing app context) and a lightweight WebDAV implementation, since we found Slide Server to "heavyweight" to use. I have to apologize to all impatient Proximity users, but the Proximity 1.0.0 release will be reasonably delayed, possibly to late october or november 2006. The DEMO site[1] will still reflect the latest development snapshot and will offer Continuum built "nighlty" downloads through Proximity from here [2]. Also, the "nighlty download area" will be refreshed from time to time by me. Have fun, and thanks for patience ~t~ [1] http://proximity.abstracthorizon.org:12000/px-webapp/ [2] http://proximity.abstracthorizon.org:12000/px-webapp/repository/private/org/abstracthorizon/proximity --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
