In addition to what Thomas said... You should note that Torque is at relatively stable point of development based more or less on the original design view/methodology (with some major mods happening about version 3.1...). IMHO, the 3.3 release is at a point where the existing design is close to the best it can get. It's had extensive bug testing, is very stable, and meets a high percentage of what people want to use it for.
A point in case, is the low number of bugs that have been reported since the 3.3 release. This is one reason for a low number of commits over the last period. The developers are still around.. just there have been no quick fixes needed. That said, Torque 4.0 features have been discussed on the Torque-Dev mailing list (see Threads starting around late Nov 2006 and documented in the Torque Wiki (Thanks Thomas F!). The vision for these is a fairly major redesign to the under side of Torque. As Thomas has said, folks are busy.. and getting started on a major redesign means that people have to find a large chunk of time and energy to devote to this. Even then it will be long process because we are talking about major changes and Torque is used in ways that were never imagined. This is sure to lead to a large set of issues and problems that will have to be hashed out, re-thought, re-coded, and the like. Of course, it helps to prod the sleeping bear occasionally ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Fischer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 11:51 AM > To: Apache Torque Users List > Subject: RE: Project status > > > Hi, I'm a Java developer from Argentina and I use Torque in many > > projects.
