All,

After four and a half years, I am leaving The Rothberg Institute. When I started, it was to replace Ken at the tail end of the migration to version 2 of the project. Sengent was our primary code provider while we also had two on staff programmers / chemists with Wolfgang as a project leader. Times sure change.

I’m sure everyone here has read between the lines my frustrations at being the voice of a project without any developers or access to scientists. You deserve better. I was very excited when Adam came on board as a part time programmer; the project now had a person dedicated to fielding the questions of the community and developing new code / patching holes. At that point, I was essentially the person who pressed a power button when Adam asked me to or physically swapped out RAM & Drives as failures occurred – we just never bothered to change the listed project or forum administrators.

So it comes to pass that as of Jan 1, I will be transitioning to a spin off company and supporting TRI obliquely until (or if) I am replaced. I bid everyone glad tidings and a fond farewell. Happy crunching!

December Project Status

A brief update on project happenings for this month.

November 2007
==============
In November, we tied up the loos ends for system testing the new multiprocessor version of the client. We also got the beta test "sandbox"
server functioning as we needed to conduct beta testing. The beta version was released on December 1.


Upcoming
========
We'll spend the rest of 2007 beta testing the 2007.3 version of the client and fixing any issues that arise. The new client should
be in "production" status early in the new year.

As always your input is welcomed.


Thanks,
Adam

January Project Status

Happy New Year, everyone! A brief update on project happenings for this month.

December 2007
==============
The new multiprocessor beta version of the D2OL client was released on December 1, along with a test "sandbox"
server. No major issues have been reported for the Windows client to this point. There are a couple of kinks to work out with the command-line Linux,
and we'll continue to look into those.


Upcoming
========
The changes made to the client last year will soon be released as the default "production" version, at least for Windows, in the near future.
Work will continue on resolving any outstanding issues in other versions.

As always your input is welcomed.


Thanks,
Adam

一月项目消息

2007年12月
新的多核版客户端及测试服务器已经于12月1日发布，windows版没什么大问题，但是linux命令行版，问题就多了，我们还在努力解决这些问题。

接下来
尽快发布windows正式版，及时解决发现的新问题。

I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you guys know that I'm working on pushing out the 2007.3 beta Windows version as the default production download. The standard project status report will return in March.


Thanks,
Adam

大意：
他们正在将2007.3 Beta做为默认的程序供下载（替换掉原来的）。
正式的项目报告将在3月恢复正常。

March Project Status

February 2008
==============
The Windows installers were finalized for the new multi-processor version of the client, and I had planned to release it to the general population. However, a last minute emergency feature request came along that dictated a change be made to the client. Development here is just about finished and testing will begin shortly. More details on the enhancement as we get closer to releasing the client.

Upcoming
========
In the next month, we'll be testing the latest client update. As this change is fairly non-invasive, testing probably will not be quite as intensive as during other phases. If all goes well, the Windows client will be released within the next month.

As always your input is welcomed.

Thanks,
Adam

08年2月
多核版客户端Windows安装程序已经开发完毕，随时可以正式发布。不过又来个新修改，现在已经改的差不多了，正在测试。

接下来
下几个月，对客户端进行升级。如果一切顺利，几个月内将发布新版Windows客户端。

April Project Status

March 2008
==============
In March, a last minute emergency feature request came along that dictated a change be made to the new Windows release of the client. This change involves monitoring D2OL processes to make sure that they don't use too many resources. Development and testing have been completed, and release of the client will happen soon.

Upcoming
========
In the next couple of weeks, the new version of the Windows client will be released as the default version. At that point, we'll begin charting activities for the rest of the year.

As always your input is welcomed.

Thanks,
Adam

有一个紧急需求，对D2OL进程进行监控，以免它占用太多的资源。所以推迟发布新版Windows客户端。

接下来
几周内，我们降把新版Windows客户端作为默认客户端发布。然后我们会为今年的活动做一个计划、安排。
