[ecf-dev] Announcement: ECF 3.4 now available
|
I'm pleased to announce that ECF 3.4 is now available [1][2].
This is an outstanding release for the ECF community. It contains
feature additions, API improvements/additions, as well as bug fixes,
more examples and tests, robustness improvements, and other
community-driven improvements.
But beyond the code, I would say that I'm very proud of the fact that
ECF is truly community-driven. I would say we're an outstanding success
among open-source projects...for being truly open and diverse, with a
large, vibrant, innovative, vocal, and *contributing* community. Sadly
this is not the case for all open source projects...especially these
days...and I think our growth and maturity demonstrates the
sustainability of the collaborative approach in tough times, and the
long-term viability of this community's work.
My congratulations to the entire community on a high quality and
exciting release.
Thanks particularly go to committer Markus Kuppe, who along with many
contributions to the software, has done a tremendous favor to the entire
community by driving our changeover to using GIT for source-code control
[3][4], and greatly improving our build/releng and automated test
infrastructure [5].
Thanks...and please keep up the great work and contributions...as we
move forward with OSGi Remote Services Admin standards work,
authentication, greater REST support, use of the Google Wave protocol,
and other directions important to the ECF community.
