Just to drop you a brief note that FrameFire is moving to an "it just works" approach, as much as possible - so if you begin wondering why the logging system is slow in development, and the GUI seems to be underdeveloped, that's because we don't intend for you to use them - we just want the system to be a "set and forget"
Just to show I, personally, am not sleeping, take a look at SVN. In the first commit in I-have-no-idea-how long, I finally uploaded the prototypes directory, which is the experiment ground for any 'potential' new features or plans for later releases. Currently in the works is the GUI, but you will also find an advanced command and control system in there, as well as prototype preset files and job files.
No guys, FrameFire isn't just a one off, now-abandoned project. Code is coming, but at the moment is going through a major adjustment at my end - hence, no SVN commits (they break the code something terrible)
Don't worry, while we won't make the mid-july deadline, FrameFire 0.0.3 will be released by start of August.
Watch for it
Oops - forgot to declare FrameFire Phoenix released!
No matter, we're now back into F-Stat 1 (Release Fixing), for development of 0.0.3, Cetan.
Already some developments have been made (including one or two major bugfixes)
You can expect a release of Cetan in about early July.
Oh Yeah! Phoenix is in F-Stat 4(Release Preparation)! Indeed, the code is stable enough for release, and now we are counting down, writing help documents, finalizing builds, and generally getting ready...
Oh, did I mention we're ahead of schedule?
WAHOO! The entire project has now entered into F-Stat 3 (Bug Fixing) - The client is successfully working!
While the client is still being brought up to the server compatibility level, the server is now in F-Stat3 (Bug Fix Preview)
Unless changes are required to work with the client, the only code changes to it between now and release will be bug fixes
Framefire has moved in F-Stat 2 - Feature Addition phase, for v0.0.2 (Phoenix), the first public release.
Here's how the status plan is looking:
F-Stat 3 (Bug Fix Preview) on Monday night
F-Stat 4 (Release Prep) by Friday night
F-Stat 5 (Release) by Saturday week
Stand-by and watch for updates...
Project Alloria has been reborn... as Framefire! It is now a completely different project to what it was. FrameFire is a distributed rendering system (for Windows, currently). The first public release (0.0.2 Phoenix) is slated for early June
