I left out the "current status" part, didn't I?
The new server is still in testing, though I think it's at least as
stable as the old one at this point. Its memory use hasn't improved as
much as I would like, but I'm looking at one or two remaining key areas.
Some flexibility has been added to the configuration files, though how
well it works will be seen only when some people start testing it.
Changes to support a few other architectures have been folded in; work
has been done on porting to other environments, like MacOS, though that
code hasn't been integrated.
Mechanisms have been discussed to get inter-realm Zephyr working --
hacks to get the existing protocol to cope with it, and designs for a
new protocol. None of these are quite ready for public consumption yet.
The documentation needs updating to reflect the changes that have been
made recently, to the library and build procedure mostly.
As for when stuff will be available for testing, ask Bill and Lucien.
They're in charge now. :-)
