Project Update - 5/28/2009
Good Day Mach-IIers! It's been a month since our last official project update, however some you heard a lot about Mach-II at our cf.Objective() sessions or if you came to our Brit's Pub Meetup at cf.Objective().
This Update's Special Thanks
We'd like to thanks a few people for contributing to the wiki in the past month. I apologize if you contributed and I didn't list your name specifically. Team Mach-II appreciates all the help. Your contributions are what makes Mach-II a great place to be!
- Jorge Loyo for creating a wiki entry on using the new copyToScope helper method in views
- Derrick Jackson for doing even more work on the Auto Update features for the dashboard
- MChambers, JJulien, rluijk and Gknight593 for their spelling and code corrections on the wiki
- Brian Klass for finding a problem with bindable property placeholders
- Doug Aragos for finding a backwards compatability problem with the new logger manager
Bravo! Thanks for all of your hard work. We couldn't do it without you!
Wiki Updates
There haven't been a whole ton of "big" wiki updates in the past month (because we've been busy on tickets and the conference). Here are few notable ones:- Brand new: Using copyToScope Helper Method in Views
- Updated with EL syntax examples for 1.8: XML Config File Reference
- Expanded documentation: Using the ColdSpringProperty
Mach-II Dashboard 1.0.0 Released
We never did blog about it, but the Mach-II Dashboard 1.0.0 went gold on May 12th and is ready for general use. Download the 1.0.0 version of the Mach-II dashboard now (links to zip file). Great thing is we're already working onf 1.1.0 so if you want to see new features in that be sure check out the nightly release (available from the code page).
Where is Mach-II "Simplicity" (1.8) Beta?
We've been working hard on the 1.8 alpha version and we are nearly feature complete. There has been almost 100 tickets filed for the 1.8 alpha milestone and there are just a few left to complete. Just wanted to thank those that helped put the alpha through it's paces and made it a better release even before we've gotten to a beta. This release really lives up to the name of "simplicity"! We hope to get simplicity into beta in the next couple of weeks.
On to Mach-II 1.9 - A Possible List of Features
Wow, we've not even reached a beta for 1.8 and we're already planning 1.9. If you are curious, here is a tentative list which may or may not be implemented in the end. We were just brainstorming:
- Packages (application helpers and sub-systems such as a configurable exception handling and decision system)
- Implement soft reference manager for timespan cache stategy - #70
- Provide mixins for views - #227
- Boostrapper loading page option - #195
- Improvements and new features in the tag libraries
- AJAX integration hooks and improved "co-existence" of AJAX
- RESTful URL support
