[portico-announce] Quick Portico Development Update

[Tim P. <tim...@ca...>]

Hello everyone,

This is just a quick update on the current state of Portico development.

A few weeks ago we released the first release-candidate for Portico  
v0.9. It contained a number of bug fixes and made the transition from  
a centralised framework to a fully-distributed one without a central  
RTI. Feedback on this release has been good and it is ready to move to  
a full release.

However, development on the 1.0 version of Portico has been moving a  
bit more rapidly than I first anticipated. This release adds support  
for Ownership Management and Save/Restore, the last two major service  
groups that were missing. Given the rapid progress, rather than  
releasing a full v0.9 with a 1.0 release-candidate shortly thereafter,  
we will jump right from Portico v0.8 to Portico v1.0.

A release candidate for v1.0 will be made available sometime next week  
for people to test. After a sufficient amount of time has been allowed  
for people to report bugs and for those bugs to be fixed, a full  
"Portico 1.0" release will made.

As always, if you have anything you want to discuss, please head over  
to the forums and let us know. If you have any bugs, either mention  
them on the forums or file them on our Jira instance (http://jira.porticoproject.org 
).

Cheers,
Tim
