Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
The newsgroup has been a bit quiet of late, so I thought it was time I wrote something. I had my semi-regular demo/catch up on the EVS project a couple of weeks ago - it seems to be coming along nicely - though adding some of the features that we considered 'critical' for v1 has taken longer than expected, and will probably continue for another 4 weeks or so, by which time I hope we can release another RC. The next RC is intended to be 'pretty close' to 'stable' for the open source project. We will then add 'migrate' function(s) before declaring it FOSS STABLE. The remainder of 2008 will be spent focussed on turning that into 'commercial stable' which will probably be FOSS 3.1.02 (identical to the CVSNT strategy where CVSNT 2.5.01 was FOSS and 2.5.02 was commercial stable). The EVSMANAGER user inteface needs a lot of work - Udo has prototyped this and it's mostly up to me to translate that for use in EVS, whether that is going to be in the next beta or not is questionable. Anyone who can start compiling the server on Linux with Postgres support and begin testing - your assistance will be greatly appreciated (Tony and I are only working on the windows version and it will probably remain that way for most of if not all of 2008). The server code is already right and stable enough to begin this work (just keep an eye on the commits mailing list for updates). Regards, Arthur Barrett
