After months of development and two release candidates, I am pleased to finally announce the publication of TrueZIP 7.0 on Maven Central. For a quick introduction to TrueZIP and learning how to get started please visit the project’s user website at https://christian-schlichtherle.bitbucket.io/truezip.
There’s a famous saying that finishing the last 20% of project requirements requires 80% of the time budget. Well, it hasn’t been that bad, but close to it. Since the publication of RC1 a great share of my time for this project has been the polishing of the documentation and making sure that getting started with TrueZIP is really a smooth experience thanks to its new Maven Archetypes. For more information about how to get started and productive with TrueZIP 7.0 easily and quickly, please have a look at the introduction to the project’s new Maven Archetypes at https://christian-schlichtherle.bitbucket.io/truezip/archetypes.html.
The following report shows the issues which have been resolved since TrueZIP 7.0 RC2. It has been compiled from the project’s Issue Management System JIRA at http://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEZIP:
