I have no news but many questions! It's very difficult to start new WO
project today because we have no information about the futur:
- when the next release will be launch?
- what about the next release?
- what about JBoss? (we want EOF no EJB!)
- what about Tomcat? (we want WOComponant and not JSP!)
- what about Cocoa (we want Cocoa frameworks and not JDK API as
Collection or Swing!)
- what about Java Client (kill swing, we want a java Cocoa!)
Think about financial manager and how you will justify the purchase,
for the same project, of two licenses per server for the same product!
"Yes, we started with 5.1, and we bought Panther (with 5.2, and so you
buy a developer version of WO as well), but just 2 weeks after, because
we didn't know when the next release was going to be launched, we
bought WO 5.3". My financial manager said me: "be careful! We are not a
startup!".
So, don't buy Panther Server now if you have WO and don't want to pay a
WO deployment license for each server! Wait the next release. But,
Jaguar Server had WO 5.1 and not 5.2... So, today, if you want to use
5.2, you have to buy Jaguar Server AND WO 5.2 per server. Perhaps it
will be similar with Panther?

5.2 is obviously better than 5.0, but it doesn't alter the basic
question
- is the next WO release going to be something like 5.2.2
(presumably free)

or more like 5.3 or even 6.0 (presumably fee)?
bruahahaha:)
No, I don't have any specifics, but I would simply guess from that
there have been no updates for about 10 month that the next one will
not be a 0.0.x update and that 0.x or even more x.0 updates haven't
been free for a really long time, that you will need to buy new
licenses. Depending on what you have (thousands of appservers or
whatever) you will be well advised to talk to your apple sales guy
when the time arises...
Cheers, Anjo
