PBXT 1.0.08 RC2 Released!

Written for PBXT by Paul McCullagh on 2009-06-30

The second Release Candidate of PBXT, version 1.0.08, has just been released.

As I have mentioned in my previous blogs (http://pbxt.blogspot.com/2009/03/improving-pbxt-dbt2-performance.html and http://pbxt.blogspot.com/2009/03/solving-pbxt-dbt2-scaling-problem.html), I did a lot to improve the performance of this version.

At the same time I am confident that this version is stable as we now have a large number of tests, including functionality, concurrency and crash and recovery. But even more important, the number of users of PBXT has increased significantly since the last RC release, and that is the best test for an engine.

So there has never been a better time to try out PBXT! :)

You can download the source code, and selected binaries from here: http://primebase.org/download.

Vladimir and I have made a lot of changes, for details checkout the release notes (http://primebase.org/download/ChangeLog).

Bugs can be reported on Launchpad, here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbxt

There is also a new PBXT mailing list, https://launchpad.net/~pbxt-discuss, so if you have any questions this is the best place for them.
