No, I Haven't Gone Away...

DeckerEgo — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:59:21 -0000

First off, my apologies for such an enormous delay in posting the Windows 3.1.2 version. I would recommend that Windows users continue to use the 3.1.1 version, and those *nix users that were bitten by earlier bugs try out 3.1.2.

Since I'm doing this project in my off time it has been increasingly more difficult to dedicate focus to ConsultComm. Recently I've had to move to a job where 80+ hours a week is the norm, and what precious time I have left is usually spent on a) eating or b) sleeping.

That's not to mean the project is dead - just in hiatus. As soon as the time grants itself, ConsultComm 4 will be my focus.

A special thank you to all the users who continue to download and use ConsultComm, and a thanks to all the donators and supporters of the project. We wouldn't have made it this far without you!

3.1.2 Released for Non-Windows (Temporarily)

DeckerEgo — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 01:48:10 -0000

I've posted a preliminary release of 3.1.2. There's a Windows bug dealing with the system tray icon that I haven't been able to figure out for a while, but given how late the release is I wanted to post the source and other platform binaries.

As soon as the Windows bug is ironed out, I'll release the Windows installer. In the interim you may notice that the version is listed as "CVS Version," this is intentional until I post the final release.

3.1.1 will continue to be the default download, but 3.1.2 will be available through the SourceForge project page.

3.1.2 Maintenance Release Scheduled

DeckerEgo — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 02:22:30 -0000

Thanks to cristianaguila and marcpawl for their bug reports, a 3.1.2 maintenance release should be out end of this week. Since the Java 6 version of ConsultComm 4 is taking longer than expected (real life shielding me from the bliss of hacking), I figured I would clear out the ole bug queue and push out a maintenace release.

Thanks again for all the forum posts and bug posts!

ConsultComm 4 Early Prototypes Available

DeckerEgo — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 03:21:08 -0000

My pre-alpha design prototypes are now being released via Java WebStart for interested parties. Visit http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/consultcomm/ConsultComm.jnlp and open the corresponding file with Java WebStart - this should allow you to launch my early design prototypes for ConsultComm 4. Feel free to leave feedback in the Forums!

Help Wanted!

Yes, it's true, I'm behind on the next ConsultComm release. Life being what it is, my spare-time OSS schedule has shrunk to nil. I'm hoping for a reprieve soon, but in the interim I've posted a job opening on the SourceForge jobs page ( https://sourceforge.net/people/viewjob.php?group_id=34622&job_id=27486 ). If you or someone you know needs to beef up their Java resume, have 'em apply! I'd love to have some extra hands!

ConsultComm 4.0 Using Java 6

DeckerEgo — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 00:23:32 -0000

ConsultComm is currently being built for Java 6 - so you'll need Sun's current beta JVM to run the builds that are going into SVN right now. Feel free to download the latest at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp

SVN Currently Unstable - Making Room for 4.0

DeckerEgo — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 02:55:34 -0000

I'm in the middle of destroying the Subversion repository - I'm clearing out old code to get ready for the brand-spankin' new 4.0 codebase. Current beta code for the 3.1.2 release is in the branches/ directory of SVN, so if you need a stable build grab everything from branches/3.1.2/

ConsultComm 3.2 Beta 2 Ready for Testing

DeckerEgo — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 02:13:38 -0000

3.2 beta 2 is released and ready for testing. There is a small bug with the Windows system tray icon... should be squashed by the next beta release.

Also, Debian packages have been released for this beta. If you notice any issues with them during installation, feel free to submit a bug report with the details.

Subversion Migration

DeckerEgo — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 02:59:11 -0000

I'm currently migrating the old CVS repository to Subversion - it should be up shortly. The new point release is still coming out shortly... I finally got my grubby hands on (someone else's) OS X machine, so I'm going to test ConsultComm on it.

NetBeans 5 support is also forthcoming...

New Point Release in the Works

DeckerEgo — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 14:35:23 -0000

I'm working on resolving all of the outstanding bugs listed on the project page & porting the source to Java 5. There will be a new point release coming soon!
