AppFuse plans for the week
Like most Java open source projects, I hope to release a new version of AppFuse this week before JavaOne. There's a couple reasons for this: 1) so I have the latest and greatest to demo during talks and 2) so the article I'm writing is up-to-date. Unfortunately, with both AppFuse and Equinox it's a bit difficult to make sure I'm using the latest and greatest for everything. This is because they're both very thin layers on top of their underlying dependencies.
I'm willing to bet that a few of these dependencies will have new releases this week, as developers scramble to get a bunch of stuff done before JavaOne. Here's my release predictions for this week:
- Acegi Security 1.0
- DWR 2.0
- Hibernate 3.2
- Spring 2.0
My current plan is to fix outstanding issues for 1.9.2 and then hold off to do the release until this weekend. Hopefully that gives each project enough time to pump out a release. If you happen to be involved with any of the projects that AppFuse depends on - and you're not planning on releasing before JavaOne, please let me know.
The 1.9.2 release of AppFuse will (hopefully) be the last one in the 1.x series.
Work on 2.0 will begin towards the end of this month. See the roadmap for the cool stuff coming in 2.0.
As far as the CSS Design Contest, I'll announce the winners tomorrow. I also plan to fix this site in IE tonight and take another stab at making the header images and colors easier on the eyes.
