Today I released jshred R17. The most interesting new feature is the Spring module, which will offer some useful classes for Spring purposes in future. Currently it only contains one feature: Spring supported Tag Libraries. If you ever wanted to use Spring in your tag library, you should have a look at R17.

Starting with R18, I will officially drop support for JDK 1.5 and move on to JDK 1.6.

I don't really know why, but somehow I skipped the release of R15. The jshred R16 package was available in the Maven repository for months now, but I never tagged it or published a release statement. For the sake of completeness, this news posting will announce R16, even though you will surely prefer R17.

With the new options --from and --until, the export can be limited to a date range. For example, you can export all schedules starting from January 1st, 2008. See the wiki for more information about the date range options.

V1.2 came sooner as expected, but brings exciting new features. The --category option only exports the given category name. --split creates a separate export file for each category. Now you can import the categories to your favourite application separately.

The user interface can now be opened from the command line as well, just pass in the --gui option.

The iCalendar files generated by version 1.0 were not completely conformous to the iCalendar specifications. Some applications could not read the files properly, which resulted in all schedules being off for some hours. This bug has been fixed in version 1.1. Thanks to Gary Dering for pointing it out.

PdbConverter v1.0 has just been released. It is a tool that converts PalmOS pdb files to more common file formats. This is a beta release. If you find a bug, please create a ticket to report it. The Java API is stable now, so you can use it for your own projects. I will try to keep future changes in the API downward compatible.

This is the first release where an actual WAR file can be downloaded for your own RepoWatch installation. An installation howto will follow shortly in the wiki.

Its purpose is to create random charts with no reasonable meaning. Currently it's in a pre-alpha state. A website frontend is missing.

RepoWatch is a maven project now. Some final cleanups still have to be done, but it is now quite easy to check out the project and test it out using Jetty and a local Postgresql or Hypersonic database.

Besides the changes at the project structure itself, Repoview links and a quick search bar have been added.

A maven project site and repository are being built up as well. Stay tuned.

I have just released the source codes, schematics and binaries of YAMI and yamiCX. The source files are released under GPLv3.
