[Tornado-dev] Status Update

[Neil C. <nc...@kl...>]

Hi everyone,

There is some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that I've been tied up with more Real Life stuff this
week, and I haven't been able to get as much done on 0.3 as I would
have liked.

The good news is that this weekend I finally sat down and started
the XML code. It's in the CVS version of XMLReader.java, if you're
curious. I've been hacking on it for most of today, and large
parts of it are working. There are still a couple issues to work
out, however -- but I should have them fixed fairly soon.

During the past week or so I've also had time to fix the issues
with the unit testing stuff, and rewrite the unit tests for Request
so that they actually work (thanks to a guy from my local XP users
group for knocking some sense into me). I also checked in some
more minor javadoc improvements, include brief 'package-level'
documentation (will be improved by 0.4).

AFAICT the rest of the stuff that needed to be done for 0.3 has
been done: all that is left is finishing the XML code, updating
the user documentation, and a few 'house cleaning' items. So
I should be able to release 0.3 fairly soon. I've attached
the current TODO list from CVS -- it also has a preliminary
list of the improvements scheduled for 0.3.1

As always, checkout the latest code in CVS -- there is lots of
new code that needs to be tested.

Cheers,

Neil
