Hi ExtLib users and developers, Some of you may have noticed that there hasn't been an ExtLib release in quite a while. Although the last release is pretty stable, a few bug fixes have been submitted to CVS since the last release. I discussed the state of ExtLib development in a private thread with Nicolas to probe whether I should be expecting a release in the near future or not. As it happened, Nicolas told me that although he's still actively using ExtLib, he unfortunately doesn't have much time to work on maintaining the library. As I have been using ExtLib for quite some time now and find it highly valuable, I wanted to offer my helping hand to get new (mostly bug fix) releases of ExtLib out of the door. To make maintaining an easier job, we figured with Nicolas that moving the project over to http://code.google.com would be help. The good thing about code.google.com is that it provides an easy to use bug DB, a wiki (for both user and developer documentation) and Subversion. By moving the project to a new home, we hope to enable easier bug tracking & reporting and less hassle in setting up SVN access. The old CVS repository has been converted to SVN and moved in its entirety to http://code.google.com/p/ocaml-extlib. This version is the new ExtLib mainline. I will be releasing the extlib 1.5.1 version any day now. I can also take care of updating the GODI package. I hope I still have enough time to squeeze the release into the year 2007 :) Janne |
