Hermes Yacht Communication Tool / News: Recent posts

This version checks for incoming HERMES YCT emails, parses them to create great looking PDFs, uploads the PDF to ScribD and then informs all your friends and family that new data is available via Twitter.

0.4BETA is in the subversion repository - lots of soak testing this week, and javadoc writing - then 0.5 will be ready for release

The first code release, version 0.5, is undergoing testing awaiting initial release. The first release will be able to receive and handle both short Situation Reports and longer Communiques. Both will be syndicated via Twitter, with the latter being presented as an attractive, online PDF document.

I've been working on a prototype - with only a limited set of functionality - that is nearing completion.
Hopefully it will hit the SVN servers tonight!

Check back after Xmas for what I hope will be a new tool for use by the cruising yachtsman!
