Increment 3 has been completed and released as version 0.50. This increment adds the ability to check into and out of an RCML repository, making rcml a (somewhat) usable source code control system! Increment 4 is scheduled to add branching capabilities.

This new release does not contain any new code, but shows our design for the checkin and checkout functionality (increment 3).

To all our visitors:
I've enabled the "anonymous postings" feature SourceForge has recently provided for forums. If you're just looking, and have some comments to make, feel encouraged to say them in the forums.

We've updated our schedule (http://rcml.sourceforge.net/sched.html) to reflect our latest estimated delivery dates for more pieces of the RCML system.

Increment 2's analysis was completed week before last; design was completed in the middle of last week, and the coding was completed this week (almost completely finished last week, with a few small bugs). This release can create an Archive object in C++ from a suitably-constrained RCML archive file, as well as writing out such an Archive to disk.

I'm pleased to announce that group I has completed increment 1, the preliminary DTD. Group II should immediately download this so they can use it as they are developing increment 2. It is available as release 0.05.

The agenda for the next meeting has been updated. See the project homepage at http://rcml.sourceforge.net/

The project homepage at http://rcml.sourceforge.net/ has been updated.

The rcml project has adopted an incremental development model. We will divide into two groups, and each group will perform a complete analysis, design, and coding job on an increment of functionality.

There is an increment due each Saturday beginning October 14. The project should be finished the week of Thanksgiving.

For the group meeting Thursday after class, we'll go over the following:

* Items from the meeting with Dr. Levine before class.
* RCS questions from last week's email
* Review of project schedule; discussion of possible incremental development model
* General information about subgroups (DTD team, OO analysis team)
* Specifics for DTD team (objective, time scale, and progress)
* Specifics for OO analysis team (objective, time scale, and progress)... read more
