The last release was v0.8 and was made in February 2006. Since then then ROME team has made numerous small fixes and a couple of design changes, which I'll cover in a later email. I proposed the release, so I get the honor of acting as release manager.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/rome_v0_9_beta_coming Java Hotspot talk at the TriJUG tonight- November 20, 2006 I'm a bit late in blogging this. Tonight's talk at the TriJUG looks to be a very good one, presented by Sun blogger and JVM guru Steve Goldman who works from Sun's Cary, NC office. New Compiler Optimizations in the Java HotSpot(tm) virtual machine.Presented by Steve Goldman This talk covers recent work in the client and server compilers for the Java HotSpot(tm) virtual machine to achieve higher performance of Java(tm) programming language applications. Synchronization-related optimizations,...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/java_hotspot_talk_at_the ROME progress- November 15, 2006 The ROME mailing list has been a little quiet lately. I'm hoping to change that. Roller's built-in planet aggregator uses ROME, Roller's Atom protocol implementation does too and I recommended ROME in my book, so I'd really like to see ROME continue to improve and grow. Now that I'm focusing on a standalone version of Roller-Planet, I've got some time to devote to those goals. Last week I cleared the bug list, this week I committed some improvements to ROME's summarycontent handling and next...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/rome_updates Blogapps 2 progress- November 15, 2006 In my off-hours, I've started work on Blogapps 2. Blogapps is a collection of RSSAtom utilities and applications based on the code from RSS and Atom in Action. You can read more about the project in my recent Blogapps article on on Java.net. Up until now, I've been working alone, but now the project now has a couple of committers. Ramesh Mandava (of the Java WSDP team) joined to help with the Blogapps 2 effort. We're starting with some renaming. Instead of using chapters-oriented directories...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/blogapps_2_progress Java is free!- November 13, 2006 By now, everybody's heard the good news that Java1 is being released under the General Public License (GPL v2), the same free software license used by Linux. A dual-license arrangement will allow Sun to continue to offer commercial licenses. Sun's Java EE implementation and developer tools, which had already been released as open source under Sun's MPL-based CDDL license are being relicensed under a triple license of GPL, CDDL and commercial licenses.The usual "how's this good for Joe...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/java_is_free Pundit's Monitor- November 1, 2006 Looks like Elias had a fun weekend creating Pundit's Monitor, a political blog monitoring tool using a heap of Java tech: the Nutch search engineweb crawler, Burton's TailRank FeedParser for auto-discovery and ROME for feed parsing (though he doesn't mention that in the post).http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/pundit_monitor |
