open-sTeam server 2.8 released
05.05.2008, 14:24

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
21.11.2007, 10:11
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.
