[Announcement] ozone 0.5-dev2



*** ozone 0.5-dev2 is available for download ***

This release fixes most of the reported bugs of 0.5dev1 and introduces
some new features.

One bug that hasn't been fixed yet is the concurrency problem that has been
reported on the list. It seems that locks are not properly released if
two transactions READ access the same object. Has someone else seens this
problem?

Now that Ant support and the client side cache is included, nearly all 1.0
planned features are there. Now bug fixing and docu on the to-do list. Please
help by trying the current release and send your bug-reports, comments, hints,
requests.


Changes list:

- OzoneProxy: OPP generated code is used to *directly* invoke in-server
      methods, new protected method fetch() added to OzoneInterface;
      speeds up in-server calls

- Build: Ant support added

- ClientCacheDatabase added but not really tested; in contrast to the other
      ExternalDatabases this actually executes objects on the client; useful
      for objects with small 'environment' like XML nodes

- XML: XPath stuff moved to a seperate package and removed unused files

- XML: James Clark's XT integrated, now possible to use Xalan or XT as XPath
      engine; Xt gives much better performance; xalan.jar is longer included,
      get it from www.apache.org if you want to use Xalan
