The development team was speeding up real nice the last couple of weeks. The core of the software changed and updated again to new technology. The development team always has strong focus on the core of the software, instead of adding cool features without thinking them through. The last couple of weeks a few core changes were made that improve stability and performance once more. One of the coolest changes is the automatic generation of SOAP objects. From now on the SOAP objects are generated from the EMF core model. This makes future development faster and the bimserver more stable after changes. A nice side effect of this improvement is the easy generation of a log. The next feature in the bimserver will be a log for the administrator so he can see what happened in his server.
After this intens core development and improvement, the team is slowing down to ‘normal cruising speed’. We decided that we are going to skip the 0.9 release because the stability and performance are now at the level we want for a 1.0 stable release. There’s a 64bit option, a second JVM for stability, streaming data exchange, webbased O3D viewer, et cetera. The current planning for the 1.0 release is somewhere around summer. If you can’t wait that long you might consider funding our team. We have great sponsor packages that focus on adding value for your company as well as for the BIMserver development.
