Are we actually stuck in 2001’s development tools?

I see up-to-date eclipse, JDK 7 and 8, C# for the Windows installer,
distributed version control, Python3 for the new site, release
messages autogenerated from the history, ...

We have up to date Bouncy Castle and Florent has been working again
and again at replacing old custom cypto with current standards.

There might be some tools which are not up to date, but that’s either
because no one took it up, or because the benefit does not outweight
the cost (we have to update all contributors to the new system, and we
have quite diverse development setups).

There are more important things to do — like getting the debian
package working again. And for that, using proven though sometimes a
bit clunky systems is an advantage.

Best wishes,
Arne
