I'm not fully satisfied with the milestone release, many things are still missing, and many others needs some refactorings and cleanup, so the release is still a bit behind schedule.

I think however that it is about time that you be able to download and use an updated EclipseTrader binary build, so I've started to put nightly builds available for download. These builds comes straight from the svn trunk source and may not be very stable, but should be usable for testing.

Builds are available for Linux GTK (32 and 64 bits), Windows (32bit only) and MacOSX from the Downloads page.

Enjoy!

Today I have completed the move to the new domain by disabling bug trackers, forums and mailing lists on Sourceforge.

Bug and feature requests tracking are now fully handled by Trac.

Discussions may take place using the mailing lists only. This was choose over the web forums for practical reasons: there is no need to periodically check if there are new messages since all posts are delivered directly to your e-mail, and you can also choose to receive a daily digest instead of all single mails.

All users subscribed to the mailing lists on Sourceforge are already subscribed to the new mailing lists. Unfortunately I can't move the messages.

See: MailingList, Tickets

Enjoy!

Since few months, EclipseTrader is listed on  Ohloh, an open source directory that anyone can edit. It features comprehensive metrics and analysis on thousands of open source projects.

Visit  http://www.ohloh.net/projects/eclipsetrader.

If you are using EclipseTrader, please take a minute and click on the I Use This icon and list yourself as a user of EclipseTrader.

This is not a really big news since many of you already know that the location of the subversion repository was changed in the past months, however I want to officialize the changes and notify some other changes, as well as show that the project is still actively developed.

The project is now hosted on its own domain http://www.eclipsetrader.org using Trac  http://trac.edgewall.org an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. The subversion repository is now located at  http://svn.eclipsetrader.org/svnroot/eclipsetrader.

Using Trac and our own subversion repository has many advantages. The issue tracker can be accessed using Mylyn  http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/ from within Eclipse. We have full access to the subversion repository settings, so it is now possible to have more fine grained permissions and allow contributors to work on specific branches or features.

In the next days, I'll move the mailing lists to the new host and close the mailing lists and discussion forums on Sourceforge. All discussions will take place on the mailing lists only, they are more easy to manage and partecipate.

Since we are using Trac for issue tracking, the Sourceforge tracker will be disabled shortly.

Sourceforge will continue to serve the files downloads and will be a mirror for the EclipseTrader update site.

Enjoy!
