This list has been pretty quiet over the past couple of months. That does not mean that we have not been busy. In fact, the list has been quiet because we have been fully engaged preparing the remaining components of OpenMAMA for release at the end of April. These components include the C++ and Java (JNI) OpenMAMA APIs as well as the C++ and Java OpenMAMDA APIs. Win32 support for all flavors of OpenMAMA and OpenMAMDA will also be part of the April release. We plan on releasing .NET support after the remaining components.

Over the next several days, we (several developers from NYSE Technologies and I) will post a significant number of patches. These patches fall broadly into three categories:

1. Bug fixes and minor enhancements added as part of normal maintenance while we prepared the initial release of the OpenMAMA C API.

2. Changes required to support C++, Java and .NET

3. Win32 support.

Please do not hesitate to comment on any of the patches submitted.

After being submitted to this list for review, they will be committed the git repository as OpenMAMA-1.1.2-rc1. If this release requires additional fixes we will create additional release candidates as necessary until we deem OpenMAMA-1.1.2 to be stable. I don't expect the stabilization period to be very long since most of changes were tested as part of previous commercial MAMA releases.

I am considering placing the entire collection of patches into a "OpenMAMA-next" branch in the interim if there is sufficient interest. This might make it easier to evaluate the entire set of changes.

At the conclusion of this process we will commit the C++, Java, MAMDA APIs creating OpenMAMA/OpenMAMDA 2.1.
