The Evergreen development community released version 2.0.2 on February 21st, less than a month from 2.0’s official launch. This marks the second post-release to Evergreen 2.0, showing just how busy the community has been to improve functionality for its users.
Evergreen 2.0 – Released!
Thursday, January 27, 2011 marked the much anticipated release of Evergreen 2.0, which brings with it an impressive list of new functions and features. The 2.0 feature list can be found here and includes such major functionality as Acquisitions. There were several key library systems that drove development in this major release. This truly was a collaborate, community effort.
With the 2.0 release comes the first effort by the Evergreen community to formalize a release strategy. This strategy was used to coordinate the efforts of volunteers from the community in the release of the Evergreen software. Their release strategy can be viewed here.
Thanks to all of the hard-working core committers, patchers, bug testers, documentation writers, and everyone else who came together to make Evergreen 2.0 happen!
Evergreen 2.0 is finally here!
1.6.1.6, 2.0 RC2, and developer team meeting minutes
The developer team has been holding weekly meetings, primarily to help coordinate our 2.0 release efforts, for the past few months. The minutes from yesterday’s developer team meeting are available from the list of developer meetings. Our next meeting is January 11, 2011.
Last night, Mike Rylander created two new releases of note:
- 1.6.1.6, the latest in the stable Evergreen release series
- 2.0 release candidate 2 (RC2) – the next and hopefully one of the last candidate releases before the first official 2.0.0 release
The downloads page has been updated with the links to the source tarballs, and the staff clients are on their way.
Also, two public servers running 2.0 RC1 are available to help people try out and document Evergreen 2.0 – thanks to Brian Feifarek and Jason Etheridge for setting those up!
