InstantDB users, Over the past year while resident on the Enhydra.org web site, InstantDB has continued to be adopted by thousands of Internet and database developers around the world. It is now a leading 100% Java embeddable database. Thank you. During this year Lutris has been talking openly about the possibility of open sourcing InstantDB in much the same way as we have with our Enhydra application server technologies and to this date have granted individuals permission to use InstantDB in commercial products. It has now become apparent that we cannot continue to run the project in this way on the Enhydra.org site because it is not clear when we are going to be able to the open source the technology. The reasons for this are many: legal, competitiveness and the energy necessary to run the project and complete our corporate mission. Therefore InstantDB is moving. On Monday June 4th, InstantDB will be moving to a new home on the Lutris corporate site ( http://www.lutris.com/products/projects/instantDB/index.html ) and the current instantdb.enhydra.org site will cease. Simultaneous with this move will be a new release of InstantDB (4.0) available for development and license. By aligning InstantDB with other Lutris products we are able to commit to the continued development, evolution and support in a manner that is not practical on enhydra.org. InstantDB will continue, as always, to feature heavily in our application server products and the source will remain available for ISV licensing or Lutris customers. To facilitate the transition the community mail list subscription and archives will automatically be moved to the new alias of [EMAIL PROTECTED] You may subscribe/unsubscribe from the new majordomo list by sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I realize that this will come as a disappointment to many who were anxious to contribute to the internals of the database as an open source project. For that I'm sorry, it certainly is a fascinating piece of technology. While no commitment can be made at this time the open source status of InstantDB may change at a later date. Until that time I look forward to your continued interest with InstantDB at its new home. If you have more specific question, please feel free to contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
