Hi,

Thanks to you, for using Jambi :)

Qt Jambi releases to 4.7 are not still stable, so there is some known bugs 
already fixed in trunk. 4.6 releases were not exactly state-of-the-art, but 
they provided 
good start for community to get going and start developing suitable releases 
systems and new features.

This year we have bee nworking on getting used to Jambi, studying it, fixing 
strange bugs and otherwise try to improve it to fit better into both Qt and 
Java worlds. 
The devs are not working full time for Jambi so development happens slower than 
we’d actually like. (read: help is always needed and wanted!)

With this new release system we’ll have automated build system that will make 
builds for each supported architecture using same snapshot, and which can be 
then tested and eventually released as stable when we have something bugfree.

I have been working towards new website (sorry, it has been too long since I 
have blogged or done anything useful, but I’ve been really busy with 
life-related 
matters), which I’m hoping to get out this month. Major blocker for it is at 
the moment support for documentation, which needs, by nature of it being 
generated, 
some parsing to get it working properly. 

For this regards, there has been some work for getting up to date Javadoc for 
Jambi, and this time with better architecture, so that the doc will be easily 
visible in 
IDE without needing to separately add it to it.

I’m sorry that I can’t give any deadlines when stuff will be ready since we are 
only volunteering for this project and hence I can’t go whining (I guess I do 
it anyway...) 
to people to do stuff faster. I’d be first one that should be shouted at, 
others have been doing really really much for the project. 

I’d say Jambi’s success depends on how stable we can get it. So we can’t just 
release bunch of updated code without actually verifying it works. After all, 
most of 
Jambi’s users are companies, along with some open source projects that could in 
future use ”beta” packages (or weekly builds) that will be updated more often. 
And of course with new website, to have one place that collects resources 
related Jambi together so the user can freely just do the programming with 
handy 
documentation and resources instead of spending hours searching through the web.

If I missed any questions, please say so and I’ll try to answer to them too :)
