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: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/release-notes.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/licenseCommunity.html 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. http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/licenseServer.html http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/licenseDevelopment.html 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: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/download.jsp Licenses for the Standard and Professional Editions of the Wrapper can be purchased here: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/accountLicenses.jsp 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Feature Overview: Here is a brief list of some of the major changes and additions. Please view the Release Notes for a complete list: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/release-notes.html * Windows 64-bit verison - This is a much asked for addition to the Wrapper suite. We have chosen to only offer this version in the Standard and Professional editions initially. As soon as we have recouped the costs of its development we WILL be releasing a Community Edition as well. Hopefully quite soon. * Make it possible to set initial and maximum memory settings relative to the total system memory. (Standard, Professional) * Add a way to schedule restarts and shutdowns. (Professional) * Add a way to send emails or execute external commands in response to many JVM or Wrapper events. (Professional) * Make it possible to debug configuration file includes. * Fix several 32-bit limits in 64-bit versions. * Add support for more platforms. * Fix several problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We look forward to hearing your feedback on this new release. Sincerely, Leif Mortenson Tanuki Software, Inc. |
