FTP 0.4, the ftp client og the GNUstep Application project, has been released.This is release has a couple of new features which should make usage a bit cleaner as well as many bug fixes and portability issues. I would recommend the upgrade. Among ... [More] the many small changes:Reopening connections without restarting FTP is fixed, there were corner cases where this didn't workBetter progress report, also for file listings. Indeterminate progress if size is unknown.64bit and portability fixes. Smaller fixes about corner cases with empty selections and empty files and interface locking.When disconnecting, the remote connection gets cleared.More minor but annoying bugs, like problems with large selections on Cocoa. FTP running on NetBSD, Sleek theme applied [Less]

The 2013 International Conference on Principles and Practices of Programming on the Java platform: Virtual machines, languages and tools takes place in Stuttgart, Germany, just a few weeks ahead of JavaOne. They have already announced a couple of interesting keynotes on Kotlin, Truffle and Lambdas.The Call for Papers can be found here.

With about a week to go, the deadline to submit your proposals for this year's JavaOne conference is approaching quickly. If you're like me, you've thought about what you'd like to submit, thrown some ideas around colleagues and are ready to click ... [More] the shiny "Submit Now!" button on the CFP web site. If you're better then me, then you've submitted your JavaOne proposals already and can lean back, watching the "JavaOne" and "submit" keywords get repeatedly mentioned on twitter in the week to come, as more people realize that time for submissions is almost up.If, on the other hand, you haven't given much thought to a JavaOne submission yet, check out the Tips and Guidelines section of the CFP web site, submit your proposal, and, hopefully, see you there in September!

Now that OpenJDK has an improved new build system, it is time to re-examine our test infrastructure with a view to gaining similar improvements for writing and running tests. We have an ongoing problem with test reliability. Part of the issue is ... [More] that we write our tests in Java, which apparently, and regrettably, has bugs in it. (Otherwise, why would we be testing it?) With the recent progress in Java scripting technology over the past couple of years, we should convert all our tests to use a scripting language. Although, we currently specify the use of Bourne shell, there are too many evolutionary variants of that, and so it is proposed we instead use Perl for all our test code. Of course, there are different versions of Perl, and so users will have to run a configure script ahead of time to determine if they have enough versions of Perl available on their system, and to recommend how to compile additional versions if necessary. From early days, JavaTest, jtharness and jtreg have embraced the web, providing HTML reports, support for an HTTP server to be available while tests are running, and servlets to display test results in full color, eliminating the need for thousands of words. We should build on those ideas and embrace web-based test execution and reporting using a new PHP-based back-end for jtreg. Finally, we should rewrite jtreg itself in Python. This will facilitate easy integration into our work flow as a Mercurial extension. Initially, this can be provided as "hg test" but the long term goal is to integrate jtreg functionality into jcheck, so that all appropriate tests are run automatically before any code can be pushed to a jcheck-controlled forest.

The first release candidate is available. It can be downloaded here or from NuGet. What's New (relative to IKVM.NET 7.2): Greatly improved support for dynamically loading classes in ... [More] statically compiled assembly class loaders. Changed ikvmc to default to using runtime binding when a class is not available at compile time. Fixed ikvmc to use jar class loading that matches the runtime. The runtime now projects stub classes into the (virtual file system) jars they came from. Runtime stub classes are now generated by the same code as ikvmstub uses. Fixed a typo in ikvm.runtime.Startup.addBootClassPathAssembly() method name. Fixed memory model bugs on ARM. Many bug fixes. Improved ikvmc error messages. Deprecated using stub classes with ikvmc. Added IKVM.Attributes.JavaResourceAttribute to allow .NET resource to be exposed to Java. Font API improvements. Graphics API improvements. Support building IKVM.NET on .NET 4.5, but targetting .NET 4.0. Changes since previous development snapshot: Volatile long/double fields should not use slow reflection. Reduce complexity of annotation custom attributes construction to improve performance and lower risk (for broken apps that should have used ReflectionOnly). Removed accidentally public methods from ikvm.internal.AnnotationAttributeBase. Fixed ikvm.internal.AnnotationAttributeBase to freeze in writeReplace/Equals/GetHashCode/ToString. Binaries available here: ikvmbin-7.3.4830.0.zip Sources: ikvmsrc-7.3.4830.0.zip, openjdk-7u6-b24-stripped.zip [Less]
