jMimeMagic 0.1.0 Released
I have finally gotten around to releasing some of my fixes that I had been working on over the past long while. Sorry for the delay and thanks those of you that have submitted bugs.
Check the release notes and shoot me some feedback/enter some bug tickets. There are some new features and some cleanup here and there. The plugin mechanism is my favorite upgrade this release.
Again, we can always use help creating new matchers for the magic.xml file. Help adding new matchers would be greatly appreciated. Pitch in and get an honorable mention =)

Call for Feedback
I haven't been doing a ton of active development on this library in some time. It's been a very busy year. I realize that quite a few people out there are using jMimeMagic for content detection in java though. And I don't want to ignore you guys or abandon this project.
FYI, I had previously planned for some changes to allow for plugins that extend the functionality of jMimeMagic. The idea was allow a user to write their own class to detect content in a file and return the appropriate mime type, etc.
My question to you is what would *you* like to see fixed, improved, added to jMimeMagic? Enter your items using the bug tracking system and I will see what I can cook up/improve.
Cheers,

Help Wanted
I have been away from this project for a while now, but I am back now and it is in need of some love. Where I need help from you all is:
*testing* I need for users to attempt to use jMimeMagic on mime-types that currently defined to see if they work or not. If one does not, send me the file that didn't properly match.
* matches * For those of you not scared by the magic.xml file and those that can convert or create some new/improved matching rules.
* coding * If you feel you can contribute something to the codebase to make jMimeMagic better, please submit patches.
* documentation * If anyone out there is a documentation freak, please shoot me an email. Some example pages of jMimeMagic usage would be great.

jMimeMagic 0.0.4a Released
I have bundled a new release which doesn't have as much as hoped, but wanted to release and give you all a chance to give some more feedback on the current state.
Submatches are now working correctly and the API has changed significantly. Note you will need to use the Magic class primarily now. Many unit tests have been added, but many more are still needed. Where we need help from the community is fixing up the magic.xml file to properly detect mime types.
The magic.xml file has been re-generated using the unix magic file, so there is likely to be some errors and adjustments needed.
Enojoy and flood us with bugs and/or issues. We are getting much closer to having a library that could be called beta rather than alpha. Thanks!

jMimeMagic 0.0.4 follow-up
I know, I know...it's been more than a couple weeks. In fact, it's been a month! I am working full steam ahead to get an updated release out soon. Shortly after posting the last news item, I had the opportunity to pursue a new job =) Wrapping up loose ends has eaten up some of my time =( and World of Warcraft has eaten up the rest ;)
Well, I am now on a 9 day vacation and intend to catch up a bit. Thanks to everyone that has been downloading and trying out jMimeMagic. Please submit bugs, complaints, suggestions, all the things that will help us build what you need! Even if you just send the one thing you would like to see added/changed/fixed the most, that would help to prioritize our efforts.
