hmm, we should save the version 2.0 for the TMAPI 2.0 implementation.
So it might be tinyTIM 1.5 or maybe tinyTIM X  or tinyTIM 1.X to
represent the codebase change.

OK, so we need Junit Tests for the actual Version that fail and work on
tinyTIM 1.X
AFAIK tinyTIM 1.0 SP1 passes all TMAPI Junit tests.

Dunno if we should put these Junit tests to the TMAPI Test-suite or put
it in the tinyTIM SVN

As said above, lets save 2.0 for TMAPI 2.0

Sorry for those :-) but they where necessary for xtm4xmldb, which  was
build ontop of some tinyTIM classes.
I think i have to close the XMT4XMLDB project ;-( although there are
some running projects  out there using xtm4xmldb ...


What about
http://tinytim.sourceforge.net/
it now links to the wiki, is the old page still available? its ok to put
it down, but i need a clear screenshot before closing this site.
