Wir freuen uns auf dem Entwicklertag 2013 in Karlsruhe - also praktisch in der Nachbarschaft - vom 5. bis zum 7. Juni dabei zu sein.

Sowohl mit dem Vortrag Buildfrei Skalieren für Big Data mit Z2 als auch in den face2face Gesprächen am Nachmittag des 5.6.

 

Working on v2.2(Dec 13, 2012)

Version 2.1 has been ready for a while. What's next? Version 2.2 of course!

Read on in the wiki

redmine.z2-environment.net

And at the blog

Z2V2.1 is out – working on v2.2

 

Working on v2.1(Aug 24, 2012)

While moving towards version 2.1. all development happens now in self-hosted Git repositories at z2-environment.net and we will eventually shut down the repositories at Gitorious.

We are preparing a new Wiki and some forums using our redmine installation at

redmine.z2-environment.net

Apart from new features and lots of improvements, we are planning dedicated add-on repositories that hold extensions to support Hadoop, Spring, and more.

New Blog on Z2 and more...(Dec 28, 2011)

Finally got around starting a blog on z2 in particular and software architecture stuff in general. In contrast to this web site, the blog may convey a very personal opinion and may easily end up containing stuff that is not completely thought out yet.

Major enhancements:

With version 2.0 comprehensive support for Git repositories and general file system based repositories has been implemented. Java 7 runtime can be used. Comprehensive documentation is now available from the Web site and as PDF.

Both distributions, z2@base and z2@Spring, have been ported.

z2 auf Heise Developer(Aug 1, 2011)

Von Heise Developer:

Die z2-Environment ist eine Java-Laufzeitumgebung, die sich selbsttätig mit Konfigurationen und Quellcode aus einer Versionsverwaltung oder einem Entwickler-Workspace aktualisiert. Mit ihr entwickelte Systeme haben einen hohen Grad an innerer Konsistenz, und Entwicklung sowie Pflege werden dank geringer Anforderungen an die Entwicklungsumgebung stark vereinfacht.
