Hello Alchemi Users!
Allow me to introduce myself -- my name is Matt and I've been involved with
Alchemi as a project admin since the beginning of the year. Alchemi is a
great project -- I started using it for my research about 18 months ago --
and I really want to see it grow and continue.
Despite a period of inactivity, the developer community is beginning to come
together once again. The past few weeks have been exciting as we've had a
number of improvements checked into the SVN repository. Special thanks go
out to:
candland - for fixing a number of bugs (from the log:)
1. Changed the exception handling in the GThread to catch all exceptions and
wrap them in a new GThreadException class. The reason for this is custom
exceptions thrown from the GThread can't be serialized by the Executor
because it can't resolve the custom exception types. This really helps
debugging because the exception and full stack are passed back and / or
written to the log file.
2. Added a constructor to GApplication that takes a GConnection and a
multiuse parameter.
3. Added configuration check to the App Domain creation, if a
app.configfile is found in the application directory it will be loaded
as the
applications config file.
4. Changed the GExecutor to report the correct number of CPU's using
Environment.ProcessorCount. Also sets the MaxCpuPower to the number of cpu's
* the MHz.
5. Changed the DefaultScheduler to hand out executor threads for the number
of CPU's reported.
6. Changed the lock object in the MappingScheduler
davidacoder - for combining all of the separate MSI installers into one
unified installer using WiX
antonovich - for adding db4o support to the manager as well as a number of
other important bug fixes
Again -- many thanks to those who have contributed!
There has been some discussion among the developer list and we've agreed
that we will be skipping 1.0.7 and moving directly to an Alchemi 1.1 release
in the very near future.
Our main focus will be on improving the user experience through better
documentation and easier installation, setup, and configuration.
We really need support from the community to make this a reality. If you
would like to help out in any way, please get involved!
Currently we need:
- Users to submit bugs that they have found to the tracker
- Documentation writers (we have started a User's Guide as well as a
Developer's Guide)
- Anyone interested in developing in C#
- Website developers that wouldn't mind keeping the website updated
- Anything else that you have an idea for and would like to contribute to
the project
If that sounds like fun and you'd like to help out, shoot me an email and
we'll definitely work something out!
Thanks for your support of Alchemi -- with your help we can make it even
better.
Regards,
-Matt and the Alchemi Team
