I'm very pleased with the work you guys have been doing. :-) Is it really wise, though, to release 1.0 without an updated user manual? I'm mostly beyond the point of needing one now. But when I started out, Jonathan's user manual is what really got me over the initial fear of a steep learning curve. There are too many frameworks out there for me to waste time with one that doesn't give me an easy leg-up on the learning curve that I can hold in my hands.
When 1.0 comes out, I think it is very important to capitalize on the attention it should garner. Without a relatively complete and professional looking User Manual, any 1.0 momentum could easily be squandered. Hopefully I'm out of touch with how far-along the user manual really is though. If not, couldn't someone at least take Jonathan's old User Manual and update it to reflect the new API changes before 1.0 goes out? I'd love to volunteer, but I'm struggling for free-time as it is, given that I have 3 young children and a wife.

Finally, after a month of some silence, we have produced our last release candidate before we deploy 1.0. If all goes well, you will see the final release within a week or two. The bug list now only contains an issue relating to clustering. As such we advise you currently to not deploy your application on a cluster, until the issues are resolved, or to be very thorough in your clustering tests. In this release you won't see major API changes, however the internals have improved significantly. The request cycle has now correct semantics, we have improved the redirect after post pattern, which now performs significantly better than before, and allows you to do your request handling and rendering in one pass, and then redirect to the rendered page. CompoundModel support has improved and works with more components than before. We added support for redirecting to external url's (e.g. Google) directly by introducing RedirectPage. For the complete list of fixes, updates and changes please see the release history. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
