Now I work on bringing back all our Jenkins test notes again(!)
and see to a working pre-release (again).

Then we have to figure out which of these bugs should
be resolved before the official 2.4.0 release.

Added blog entry with a few more links

<https://jausoft.com/blog/2019/11/30/jogamp-2-4-0-release-feature-freeze-complete/>

I like to use this opportunity to emphasize our
work priorities here, which might help
explaining the delay or reduced 'public visibility'.

Hello

Thank you for the great job :D

If I understand your reply in the following bug report, it should be marked as resolved because JOGL already works as is:
https://jogamp.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=1312

When a release candidate is available at least in the JogAmp Maven repository, I'll use it to implement OpenJFX support in JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation.

Sadly I have not completed this 'little' task yet,
but started months ago only to be interrupted again.

I will try to complete this as I also see it as important
to ensure that we don't leave resources referenced and occupied
longer than required.

But .. I can also leave some issues open for a subsequent release.

Great, yes. Then finally out new Java3D collab can also bear its new fruits.
Hello Phillip ;-)

I just send out a post here
<http://forum.jogamp.org/What-is-Direct-BT-Where-is-JogAmp-2-4-0-tp4040795.html>
for the blog
<https://jausoft.com/blog/2020/09/04/what-is-direct-bt-where-is-jogamp-2-4-0/>

.. explaining my current 'busy cycle'.

Bottom lines:

- Regardless, it shall be completed when time allows within this year.

- Looking for sponsorship
to realize future JogAmp goals

Cheers, Sven

I understand everyone is busy.  Any updates on availability of a 2.4 release?  Thanks.

Still no 2.4.0?

Hi Sven,

Did you try to approach NUMFOCUS ? I am in touch with an active member of the board (Sylvain Corlay, CEO of QuantStack), maybe I can ask if NUMFOCUS could sponsor joAmp ?

S.

Please contact Sven in private for sponsorship and add me into copy carbon contacts for the followup.
