Hi,
We'd intended to get this release done in time for Pycon UK, but it didn't happen then, but it happened last week :-) Since it fits the category of "use our stuff to build your styff", I thought some people may be interested to hear that we're put out our latest release of Kamaelia. The (much more) detailed version is here: http://groups.google.com/group/kamaelia/msg/b4838d327bb7162c The shorter version of the announcement is this: Overview: library/framework for making concurrency easy using message passing components as the concurrency metaphor. Consists of a kernel (Axon) and collection of components (Kamaelia). Support for generator, thread & process based components. Targetted towards supporting maintenance, so /accessible/ to novices, but general purpose. Uses concurrency to make life simpler, not harder. Designed as a /practical/ toolkit. What sort of systems? Network servers, clients, desktop applications, pygame based games, transcode systems and pipelines, digital TV systems, spam eradicators, teaching tools, and a fair amount more :) Download: http://www.kamaelia.org/GetKamaelia Change Summary: Major update, multicore, STM, easy concurrency, creation of Kamaelia.Apps namespace for reuse of applications, *significant* amounts of new functionality, major documentation improvements (including full offline reference docs), support for using Kamaelia components cleanly in non-Kamaelia apps. (ie a clean linear -> concurrent interface (Handle)) Release notes: http://www.kamaelia.org/ReleaseNotes060 Deltas: Kamaelia 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0, Axon 1.5 -> Axon 1.6.0 Last full release: October 2006 Mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/kamaelia New website: http://www.kamaelia.org/Home Reference: http://www.kamaelia.org/Components Cookbook: http://www.kamaelia.org/Cookbook (for those missing the relevance, this is a project from BBC Research :) Regards, Michael. -- http://www.kamaelia.org/Home http://www.kamaelia.org/GetKamaelia - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk developer discussion group.
