[Ganymede Dev] Hello, all you developers out there in network land!

[Jonathan Abbey <jonabbey@arlut.utexas.edu>]

Many of you are probably reading this with some surprise that there is
any traffic on this mailing list, if indeed you remembered that you
had ever subscribed.

In fact, there has been a great deal of Ganymede development over the
last couple of years, though most of it has been handled quietly here
at the labs.  We are preparing to put forth a Ganymede 2.0 release,
with improvements all over the board.

Here are some of the highlights:

  ) Ganymede now requires Java 1.4 or better
  ) Ganymede now works cleanly with Java 5.0
  ) Ganymede's code and build environment has been refactored and moved to Ant
  ) Ganymede's revision control repository has been moved to Subversion
  ) Ganymede now supports SSL-protected RMI communications with secure object ids
  ) Ganymede now provides support for incremental synchronization via XML
  ) Ganymede now supports internalization and localization through properties files
  ) Ganymede has improved performance and improved stability
  ) Ganymede's object naming semantics have been tightened up to improve the
    usability of the XML dump/load interface
  ) Ganymede now has a textual query language, GanyQL
  ) Ganymede server no longer needs an external rmiregistry process
  ) Ganymede client can now catch client-side exceptions and report them to the server
  ) Ganymede client and server now support custom tabs in objects.

A complete list of improvements can be found at

  http://tools.arlut.utexas.edu/svn/ganymede/trunk/ganymede/CHANGES

and if you want to get access to the latest code, you can retrieve it
with Subversion by running

 svn export http://tools.arlut.utexas.edu/svn/ganymede/trunk/ganymede/

So if any of you out there on this list are still interested in
Ganymede, I'd be happy to talk with you all about this.

Thanks,

 Jon
