open-sTeam server 2.8 released

The new stable version 2.8 of the open-sTeam server software has been officially released today.

Among the improvements of the new version are:

  • COAL serialization with native code (performance improvement)
  • fixed compiling of native code on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
  • some LDAP improvements (e.g. support for structural groups)
  • fixed an issue where the cachesize setting would be ignored
  • RSS feeds now have a content namespace
  • added support for iconsets (iconsets are packages/modules that can define default icons for objects)
  • all server.log output will now be prepended with a timestamp
  • smtp, security and slow_requests log files will now be rotated, too
  • improved init.d scripts (stabilized the restart option, even if the server takes so much time for shutdown that the script times out)
  • various stability improvements

Please consult the server news for details on the new version and for downloads.

Javasteam Developer Day took place on November 19th
The steam Java developer forum took place on the 19th of November at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute in Paderborn. The main issues discussed in this year's meeting were:
  • built modules from the differend communication layers to be able to exchange and enhance the communication layers (P2P, coal, offline...)
  • enhancement of the offline persistence
  • better handling of lokal files by the offline persitence of the javasteam API
  • implement a config mechanism for the javasteam API in general to be able to configure things instead of making lokal changes of the API (maybe for switching the communication layer)
  • use standard-mechanismus (z.B. log4j) for the log output of the javasteam API
  • rework SSL and certificates for the secure coal connection müsste noch überarbeitet werden
  • rework the event system of the java api for steam events
  • implementation of a plugin-/module-mechanism for modular enhancements like communication or offline caching might be integrated as plugins/modules
  • integration of support for the package:whiteboardsuppord- spm which offers methods for performance optimization for common requests
  • implement/rework cache mechanism right into the javasteam API. The existing mechanism is disabled at the moment.
