[Jamvm-general] What's the status of jamvm 1.6.0?

[Thomas De S. <pat...@gm...>]

Hi,

I would like to know the current status of jamvm 1.6.0 development.
The last release of jamvm was 1.5.4, dating from 2010.
It seems that there still is ongoing development in the git tree at
http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm, but no release has been
made in the mean time.
Is there a particular reason why there haven't been any releases since
1.5.4, not even in the 1.5.x series?

I'm a contributor to Buildroot [1], an embedded Linux build system,
which contains jamvm 1.5.4. One of our users provided a patch to make
jamvm build on big-endian MIPS [2], but I now learned about the 1.6.0
development that already builds on big-endian MIPS.

We could start using a git revision in Buildroot, but using a released
version is much preferred.
Is there any change of making a release soon, even a release candidate
or the like?

Thanks for your feedback,
Thomas
