Hi all,
Apologies for all the spam today. The pivot.* packages have been
renamed to org.apache.pivot.*, and all projects should now build OK in
Eclipse. Todd is currently working on updating the Ant script.
We are currently thinking that, when Pivot 1.3 is ready, we would like
to propose graduation to the Incubator board. There are a number of
issues that we would like to resolve before releasing 1.3 - I have
left these under the 1.3 category in JIRA and created new categories
for 1.3.1 and 1.4. 1.3.1 will be a performance/bug fix release, and
1.4 will contain new features. We don't have a hard date in mind for
1.3, but ideally we would be looking at starting the release process
within a month or so.
One important change in 1.3 is that we will now require Java 6 at
runtime (not just at compile-time). This will temporarily prevent Mac
OS X users from running Pivot apps in a browser. However, Mac OS X
10.6 (Snow Leopard) will include a new version of the Java Plugin that
supports Java 6. Snow Leopard is scheduled for release in September,
so the total Mac browser downtime shouldn't be long.
Let me know if you have any questions.
