So for those who weren’t already aware, on October 7th I gave my two weeks notice to my supervisor at Purdue. After just over 21 months, I was ready to be free of that place. Well, I was ready to be free much farther back than that, but I was finally presented an opportunity too good to pass up in favor of the stability and large perks that Purdue offered.
Its been almost a year since I started working on the CoRD Project. In that time we’ve released 0.5, which was in “beta” for almost 18 months when I started tinkering with it in March of 2009. We’ve also released two minor updates that fixed major issues and added features, and are getting ready to release a third release (0.5.3) that will hopefully fix a few problems. Work on a 0.6 release has started, and rudimentary code has been put in place to allow groups. Going completely off of the amount of releases and code changes, it may seem like we’ve been resting on our laurels, but I wanted to point out the massive changes we’ve made on the backend in the past year that will help us accelerate releases and hopefully prevent another 18 month drought of updates and information.
