I had not really made any recently. There was a lot of new
development going on a couple of months back, but recently
things have slowed down. I would like to get a few more
features into Jacl before calling 1.3 "stable". For example,
the IO layer work needs to be merged. Tcl Blend is mostly
stable, there is some work that needs to be done to get
the thread shutdown code finished. There are also quite
a few test cases related to the new thread code in Tcl Blend
that need to be written. In addition, an HTML based into
to programming with the Tcl/Java API needs to be written.
The existing demos are ok, but folks need a more simple
walk-through of the API.
If all/most of those things are in place, I think 1.3
would be ready to roll. Perhaps you would be interested
in the release manager role? It would involve drawing up
a release schedule and then getting folks to do the
needed tasks (me included). There are some nice tools
on Source Forge to help with this process, if you
are interested.
