Hi everyone, some status updates:
After many people have asked: *No, the project is not dead*. However, my full-time job does not leave me much time for the project. At the moment, we're stripping down the code base to a minimium and are writing tests for the components. We're also reviewing much of the code -- and have to change a lot on core parts of it (sync algorithm, in-memory database, update files). We have reduced the code base from > 20.000 LOC to 8.000 LOC, introduced Ivy as build tool, changed the update-file semantics to make indefinite runtime of the application possible, daemonized the core, stripped out the GUI, stripped out the profiling capability, Singleton-ized everything, changed the config-mechanisms, incorporated some of the chunking mechanisms of my Master's thesis [1] etc. The reason why we cannot share the progress in a public repository is that the project is now partly being developed by students, and is part of their grade. So we cannot share every step of the way. But I understand that we should at least publish something. I'll meet again with the students soon and we'll discuss finally publishing some code... Best regards, Philipp [1] http://www.philippheckel.com/files/syncany-heckel-thesis.pdf
