Re: [kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.3 Development Release available for download
Thanks Fu, The Nihonsoft homepage is at http://www.nihonsoft.jp , it is in Japanese. please take a look at it and tell us how you feel. Thanks! Yes, I knew this page. For the benefit of persons who can not understand (or does not trust machine translation tools available on the net), I will make summary based ONLY on these pages. This company develops E-commerce software called 'YenPot' and (will) distribute it under GPL license. They also make IDE for E-commerce server centric application written in Java. In the site map page (http://www.nihonsoft.jp/site_map.htm), they have a link to 'kaffe.org' (precisely speaking it is written as 'KAFFE.ORG', anyway doesn't matter so much). One more additional link is to 'nihonlinux.jp' which will be dsitributed under a license called 'Common Good Public License'. You can see the license in 'http://www.ggpl.org/'. As far as this license is concerned, you may be able to understand the contents because it is written in English. The relationship between nihonsoft and nihonlinux.jp is not clear from their page. Fu, could you please take a look at CGPL page and tell us, kaffe developpers how you feel this license? Kiyo ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

[kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.3 Development Release available for download
Hi Jim, OK, got it! Anyway, there is not a link to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list from the main mailing list page(http://www.kaffe.org/mailinglists.shtml), so I think a lot of people will have difficulty finding this list. And thank you Kiyo for the summary, the CGPL.org is English, so I think most of us here can take a look for ourselves to see what it is about :-) David Fu. ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

I don't know the whole story, since I can't read Japanese. Any pointers? Fortunately, I can read Japanese :-) There's been a fair amount of private emails on this that haven't been forwarded to the list. Nihonsoft got back to me with a response, which I asked if I could forward. I posted it to the new [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list: http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe-siteadmin/2003/date.html Again, just because we accepted a sponsorship doesn't mean that we are offering any type of endorsement to the people making the donation. We've got several offers from people that would like to sponsor the site for the next few months. We'll have to figure out the best way to handle the offers - I'd like to keep the whole sponsorship program low-key, and non-controversial. Our costs are pretty low, after all. Feel free to continue the discussion on the new [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list (I've set the Reply-To: header).

The speed at which Kaffe is improving is incredible. Definitely. There will probably be one more development release in about two months, and we'll probably put out a heavily tested production release (1.2.0) in early 2004. Thanks to all of our developers, testers, and users! Also, thanks to Nihonsoft and Berkeley Signal for sponsoring the server. Berkeley Signal is you, thanks for keeping the server alive.

Berkeley Signal is you, thanks for keeping the server alive. Thanks. Yeah, it's a little corporation I do stuff with, which I've done some consulting through before. But who are Nihonsoft? They're the first people to bite and donate $50 via PayPal to the California Community Colocation Project (CCCP) to sponsor December. I thought I'd drop a blurb into the announcement to say thanks, and, because I want to encourage more people to sponsor the site for a month. The CCCP is a non-profit organization here in California that offers colocation of servers to non-profits, however in return, they request at least a $50 colocation per month to cover their costs. They're a charity themselves, so they can't actually charge for services. See: http://www.kaffe.org/sponsors.shtml I'd love to get some more sponsors for the upcoming months to help spread the cost around. It will be nice having the server on the fast pipe when the project gets even more popular. :-) As you can see, we're starting to suck up more bandwidth over time. Definitely a lot more than when I had to temporarily put my server on my DSL line last summer: http://www.kaffe.org/mrtg/pogo.kaffe.org_2.html I much prefer having our own server vs. using a service such as SourceForge or Savannah, as eventually I want to most, or maybe all, of the projects services running on Kaffe. :-) Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

It will be nice having the server on the fast pipe when the project gets even more popular. :-) Mhm, yes, probably ;) Especially given that the download sizes of kaffe's tarballs increase over time, as we integrate more functionality from other projects (there is still a ton of Classpath left to merge ;). I much prefer having our own server vs. using a service such as SourceForge or Savannah, as eventually I want to most, or maybe all, of the projects services running on Kaffe. :-) Sounds like a great way to show off what's possible, when kaffe gets that far. But as you said, the progress that's been happening is quite nice. I hope we can attract even more great contributors over time, in order to get better faster ;) thanks to all of you, dalibor topic ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
[kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.3 Development Release available for download
I've made the 1.1.3 release of Kaffe available for download at: ftp://ftp.kaffe.org/pub/kaffe/v1.1.x-development/kaffe-1.1.3.tar.gz http://www.kaffe.org/ftp/pub/kaffe/v1.1.x-development/kaffe-1.1.3.tar.gz As this is a development release, it is essentially a snapshot of what's happening in CVS, with limited testing. Even though this is not a production release, it contains a lot of improvements over 1.0.7, which was release over half a year ago. I anticipate that most people will have less trouble with this release. Here are some highlights of new things done since the last development release: * More merges from GNU Classpath: * java.beans * java.util.Date * java.util.jar * java.net * java.io * javax.swing.EventListenerList * More JVMPI support implemented. * More NIO support implemented. * java.security.SecureRandom bugfix (with security implications) * JIT fixes for x86, ARM and Sparc. * Interpreter fixes (underflow problem) * Fixes for Solaris, Darwin, FreeBSD. * Build fixes for powerpc64. * IPv6 fixes. * KJC fixes: * inner class access * switch labels * constant initializers * concatenating a null to a string * Fixes for SHIFT_JIS (Japanese) encoding. * Fix for Jetty 4.2.14. * AppletViewer fix for applet tag. * Lots of minor bug fixes. * Cleaned up GC code. * Compiler warning fixes. * Resynced with existing Classpath, GNU JAXP, Jessie. * Some successes: JBoss, Eclipse 3.0M4, gjdoc/libxmlj. Overall, I'm very impressed with the continued progress. The speed at which Kaffe is improving is incredible. There will probably be one more development release in about two months, and we'll probably put out a heavily tested production release (1.2.0) in early 2004. Thanks to all of our developers, testers, and users! Also, thanks to Nihonsoft and Berkeley Signal for sponsoring the server.
