amorph / News: Recent posts

...due to problems a new package of the amorph project (0.6.2) has been released:

Minor Release

- started with a series of HOWTO-Documents to jumpstart developing with amorph (work in progress)

- mainly released because 0.6.1 package had some problems with unzipping the amorph-full package

- added a .rar packaged amorph-full archive

Seems that there are problems with unpacking the amorph ZIP package. I cannot reproduce it, amorph .ZIP package is created using a standard Apache ANT task and zip files are working well on my systems.

Anyway, I received complaints about troubles with the .zip archive recently... I'll provide a new package soon.

If you are having ANY problems meanwhile: please just contact me!

the amorph project meanwhile evolved to a very usable state for me. in fact currently all my needs for data transformation are fulfilled with currently available getters, putters and preparators.

as there is significant interest on the project within the communitiy I'd like to ask you, what you would like to see within the next releases?

- more examples
- improved documentation
- more getters/putters
- preprocessors
- ?... read more

amorph 0.6.1 release - mainly a bugfix release:

- introduced MailAuthenticator (for SmtpPutter)
which brings more compatibility with javamail
implementations (SmtpPutter bugfix for JOnAS 4.5.3).

- introduced mail.pop3.apop parameter for SmtpPutter
which is required for some mailservers (default
value is "false")

- fixed a bug in CsvPreparator when "/","%"

The brand new version 0.6 is available now! Amorph 0.6 introduces some internal refactorings and optimizations which allows a more flexible usage scenario.

addional new features:

- new AmorphGUI to run amorph as standalone
application
- new Excel-Preparator allows native processing of
MS Excel files
- splitted up postprocess task into "postprocess" and
"putter" tasks (postprocess does not save the data any
more, the putters are a flexible way to store the result)
- new "SMTP-Putter" allows sending transformation
result via E-Mail
- new "Stream-Putter" saves result to a
(File)Outputstream
- and some minor changes (see releasenotes)

version 0.5 comes with a newly structured and more flexible transformation enging (the chopper).

in addition "DataGetters" are introduced for gathering data from various sources, amorph-0.5 is shipped with a ready to use Pop3Getter for reading and processing e-mails.

amorph 0.4 has just been released. the amorph package now includes a versatile FixedLengthPreparator for processing fixed-length textfiles as they would be XML....!!!

We are proud to release the first official amorph release since our movement to SourceForge: amorph-0.3!!!
The release is shipped with a fully functional transformation engine and the stable CsvPreparator.
