Gnubert Peer to Peer Evolution / News: Recent posts

I released a new set of binaries a few days ago. There isn't a whole lot of functional change but the display is nicer.

Although progress is slow it is not stopped. Connections and the HostCatcher are handled in a much more intelligent manner now and I think Gnubert will be able to automatically get more hosts soon.

The server has also been updated. The ability to give out it's host list has already been added and it even serves a stub webpage now which will eventually contain a Java Applet which will serve as a remote user interface.... read more

I've let things go too long without any update so here it goes. Progress was really slow for a while (there wasn't any) as I was very busy with school. I have graduated now and in between job hunting I have been finally getting some work done on the project. I have re-organized the classes by moving the Worker class into the main Gnubert class and renaming GnubertTools to GnubertClient. It could probably still use a bit more polishing but I hope this makes things a bit more readable. I have also added an immigrant queue which is maintained by GnubertClient (now a separate thread.) so that the evolution process no longer has to wait for an immigrant to be obtained from other clients.

A few days ago I released the source code into the cvs tree and created the homepage but neglected to add a news item for it.

Tonight I have made the webpage more readable, have put out the first binary release. I also wrote some quick and ugly release docs which are screaming for me to replace some time when I am better rested.

I hope to be hearing from some of you soon!

Welcome to the Gnubert project! I will be uploading source code so that we can get started shortly. I began this as a project for a class. I was in a hurry to make the due date, and also was learning a lot as I went so my code was rather messy. I just have a little more cleaning up to do before I want to show it to the world, but it should be up in the next few days along with a website giving more detail on what Gnubert is suposed to do and what it can do so far. I hope you will come back and perhaps want to get involved!
