The road to 1.1

Hey guys!

You might have noticed that there hasn’t been really anything going with development. That is partially true. I have been really busy and because servebox is a free project, and no donations have filtered there way to me, it has to take a back seat to projects that do bring in some money.

But I am on the way to 1.1. Here is a tentative list of features:

• Updated services:
  • Apache to 2.2.10 (servebox currently has 2.2.9)
  • PHP will stay the same, unless 5.3 is released before release (current version 5.2.6)
  • MySQL will stay the same unless 5.1 is released
  • Subversion to 1.5.4 (A few versions behind!)
• Plug-In Architecture
  • Yes, plugins!
  • Will be all in the same window
  • About 1/2 through development

That is all I have planned (plus a few plugins, going to be for rails)

Let me know what you guys want!

Downloads!

I finally created a php script for tracking the downloads, and apple now redirects to the new file!

Sometime last night or early this morning Apple changed the link and I can now track how many people are using servebox.

A rough calculation is at bare minimum, 200 people, and I assume many more people in the two weeks before that!

If you can donate, that would be great! I put a lot of effort into creating the app! (To donate, go to the servebox site and click on donate!

Thanks guys,

servebox is on apple downloads!

Hey guys! I submitted servebox the other night to Apple Downloads and it was approved today!

Check it out here!

servebox 1.0 released!

I am very happy to announce that I have released the 1.0 final release of servebox! After about three months of development and testing, I feel that servebox is ready for its final release.

I have chosen to make an installer that will download appropriate pieces on demand, which should equate for a smaller download. The installer is about 100KB zipped, so don’t be alarmed.

You can pick up the installer here. Future updates will be pushed through the built-in updater, and then you will have to run the servebox installer after servebox itself is updated.
