JogAmp Update
================

First of all, I have picked up my JogAmp work momentum.

"Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.",
J. Robert Oppenheimer

or maybe better

"Everyone has a plan until they get hit", Mike Tyson

Let's leave it at that..

+++

The JogAmp server were updated thrice over the last months.
Finally the toolchain (bugzilla, Wiki, Wiki-Bugzilla) works again.

- Using Debian 9, OpenJDK-8
- Updated Jenkins, Bugzilla, Mediawiki
- Now using https://wiki.mozilla.org/Help:Bugzilla_Extension

Last package update & reboot has just been completed.

+++

Further

- Most pull requests via github has been merged

- Most late changes reflected next version 2.4.0

<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_for_the_release_2.4.0>

- Gitlab has been added as 3rd fallback https://gitlab.com/jogamp

+++

Further our Jenkins build target platforms has been reduced.

Now we have:
- android-aarch64
- android-armv7-img
- linux-armv7hf-img
- linux-x86_64-amd
- macosx-10_6-x86_64-nvidia
- win7-x86_64-nvida

Dropped were:
- linux-x86_32
- win7-x86_32
- solaris-x86_32
- solaris-x86_64

Probably new target will be:
- linux-aarch64


JogAmp [Roadmap] Update
=========================

- New bugs will be set on version 'to be determined (tbd)'
<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_undetermined_release>

- Next Version 2.4.0
<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_for_the_release_2.4.0>

- Version 2.5.0
<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_for_the_release_2.5.0>

IF we make a hard cut regarding Java-11 support,
it will move to Version 3.0.0.
However, I don't like these 'hard cuts',
which would render Java-8 platforms obsolete.

See Bug 1363 <https://jogamp.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=1363>
