Re: [Quickfix-developers] Rapid Addition partners with ThoughtWorks to launch RA-4QF

[Kenny S. <ks...@co...>]

We have been working over the past few months on getting a release finished.
 We think we are about two weeks out from a release candidate.  One of the
goals for this release is to make QuickFIX more community driven.  We know
there have been patches and work out there over the past few years that
should be contributed. The first release will basically be the current trunk
with a few other fixes.  The big change for this release is a new continuous
integration framework using the Amazon EC2 cloud and the movement of
QuickFIX to github.
The Amazon work is being done here:
http://github.com/kennystone/qfec2_deploy/tree/master
QuickFIX is ported to github here:
http://github.com/quickfix/quickfix/tree/master

The combination of github and the integration tools will allow us to manage
and test some of the patches and work out there that need to be integrated,
as well as future development.

Oren can speak more to our plans, but I thought I should give an update.  We
will have more in a couple weeks.
