[Rcosjava-general] Winding up development on RCOSjava

[<and...@ne...>]

I plan to end the development of RCOSjava with version 0.5.  After version 0.5 I'll still be around but basically my development will stop.  I did get an email by someone from Brazil who said they were doing the File System vertical slice (animator and os implementation) but whether that pans out or not I don't know.

The rough delivery time will be August.  After that, I plan to finish the paper for the messaging system, ensure the Javadoc is up to scratch, and document the C language features.

The final feature list for 0.5 includes:
* Swing UI,
* Add function support to the compiler,
* Multimedia recording/playback/save state,
* Closing off of current known bugs things like small font size, step removed, etc.
* Adding JavaHelp.

I'm currently working on the Swing UI.  I will announce when each of these stages have been complete on this list and on the web site.

What this means is that the following tasks will be outstanding:
* Test file system and disk scheduler,
* Put the disk scheduler and file syste animation back in,
* Replace server support, and
* Deployment in a single JAR.
