We've been cranking!
Just in case you hadn't noticed, in the waves of election-mania,
Sun has been cranking out a pile of great software releases
recently:
- JDK
6u10 with all of it's desktop deployment and performance
goodies shipped.
- MySQL
has a release candidate for 5.1!!
- Glassfish
V3 has a tasty supported prelude release available.
- The NetBeans crew has put out NetBeans
6.5RC with enhanced support for RESTful services, C/C++, a
pile of scripting languages, and a whole lot more.
- OpenSolaris is really close to the FCS of the 2008.11
release. I've been running the release candidates, and it's
looking great.
- And the JavaFX team is getting real close....
And if you haven't yet been totally overwhelmed by Obama-mania
articles, you might enjoy the one by
Desmond
Tutu.
