We will be tweaking the design now and make smaller and vector versions.

RefactorIT, the Java Refactoring Tool http://www.refactorit.com/ is now avaliable free of charge for all Krysalis Projects.

This means that all org.krysalis.* packages can be refactored *without limitation*, along with up to 50 foreign classes.

We would like to thank the RefactorIT team for supporting OpenSource.

The current PMC members have voted to make Adam Jack part of the Krysalis Project PMC, because of the oustanding work and dedication given to Krysalis, and the outcome was positive.

This means that we have a new member onboard, and a new Krysalis Project admin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/krysalis/). He will also be part of the Krysalis Association as soon as legal papers are done.

Welcome on board! :-)

Heads up, we are getting ready for a new beta of Centipede.

It boasts a much improved design with the latest Ant development features and a standalone installation.

Stay tuned, we're happy to hear from you on our mailing lists!

The Krysalis Community Project has decided to start a new project called Metamorphosis, to aid in the creation of new Opensource projects starting from scratch, with a particular attention to the wellness of the communities.

Currently there is an initial workflow community working on the project.

We are confident this will be of help to programmers that need help in starting OS projects.

jCharts has joined the Krysalis Community project and Krysalis Wings development will be merged into jCharts! We found there to be a duplication of efforts in the projects so it made more sense to merge the projects and developer resources than to run down parallel paths.

So what does this mean to Wings users? All development will continue at the jCharts site on Sourceforge and we will merge the Wings developers and community there.... read more

Thanks to a donation from SICREDI (A credit cooperative banking company located in the South of Brazil) we have started the krysalis-ant-tasks project, that will contain tasks to be used with Jakarta Ant.

Initial import done with JsDoc (Javadoc for Javascript), JTidyTask (cleans html files) and IZPressHtmlCompressTask, that compresses HTML files by removing redundant tags and spaces.

The project is maintained by three new developers:
vladodias - Vladimir Gonsalves Dias

We're happy to announce the second beta of Centipede.

This beta contains much more documentation, fixes coming from user feedback,
enhanced descriptors, and a target to create automatic descriptors' and
cents' documentation.

We have integrated the Maven docs generation and the Maven xref generation
using a cent, along with numerous bugfixes.
The docs are generated from the same Forrest DTD. This way users can decide
to switch in any moment, preventing lock-in.... read more

The first beta is out :-)

There are so many changes that it's better if you just download it and try it.

We're in beta, so now it's bugfix, bigfix, bugfix.

A new CVS module is in the repo: krysalis-wings.
It's a simle package for line, bar and pie charts.
It's used in the Apache Cocoon scratchpad.
