Steve - 2016-03-29

After very intensive re-development work, I am pleased (and relieved) to announce that v2.0-rc4 is now available from Maven Central.
The new project is hostd on git at GitHub https://github.com/steveohara/j2mod

v2.0 should be a drop-in replacement for v1.06 but if you notice any problems or see some useful opportunities to improve what is there, please create an issue ticket on GitHub.

If you would like to contribute code changes, please follw the pull-request workflow on GitHub but it really helps if you can create JUnit test cases for any submissions.

The changes from v1.06 are extremely wide spread (not a single class left untouched) and are described in the release notes but the main feature modifications are;

  • No more RxTxComm library - this is replaced by jSerialComm
  • The Facade package classes have been made production quality
  • The Serial/BIN protocol has been retired
  • Logging included via log4j
  • Unit tests via junit
  • Signed distribution to Maven Central

Other changes are to improve the robustness and code quality of the library as well as it's performance.
