[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Hello all,
After far too long, we have finally managed to get the long awaited
3.3.0 release out the door. This version contains a huge number
of new features, but fixes, and general improvements. Please take
a look at the Release Notes for the full list of changes:

Licensing Changes:

We have debated for the last few years how best to make the
Wrapper project into a more profitable venture to help drive its
continued development. Hopefully we have come up with a
model which will make the majority of the community happy.

The license of the Wrapper has been changed from MIT to GPL2
for the Community Edition of the Wrapper.

In addition we have released two commercial editions of the
Wrapper. A Standard Edition, and a Professional Edition. Both
of these editions are being offered under one of two licenses.
The first is a Server License which is tied to a specific server.
The second is a Development License which enables our users
to embed and distribute the Wrapper as part of a larger
commercial application.

The download location has been moved away from SourceForge
because of the commercial nature of some of the downloads.
The new download page is here:

Licenses for the Standard and Professional Editions of the Wrapper
can be purchased here:

We are very interested in continuing to support the open source
community while at the same time creating a Wrapper business
which is able to support its development and support. If you
have any questions or comments about this new model please
do not hesitate to contact me directly off list.
