texte = Hey All, We are happy to announce the Windows CICADA (6.1.b04) build for your testing pleasure!: dev.webdna.us Please post feedback here if possible: http://forum.webdna.us/eucabb.html?page=detail&threadid=571&category=288 This marks the final goal for major Beta builds, towards the larger goal of the final CICADA release candidates, which will include a new GUI, PDF documentation and any last minute fixes that are needed. "Yes", we will come back to other build aspects, such as 64bit versions for Mac and Windows, as well as a CICADA build for Solaris perhaps, and others. However, business dictates that we must move on to the marketing aspects as soon as we can. Also, just a report to say there has been about 250 **Unique IP** Downloads of the other beta builds since the starting of the releases around the beginning of this new year. I want to say "thanks" and request again that if anyone has the time to offer feedback, please do so (forum.webdna.us > bug reporting) Lastly, I was curious today why there has not hardly any 6.1b04 WebDNA Speed Test reports, and I realized why. I had thought I had fixed a bug where submitted reports where being overwritten by other submissions using the same host name (ie. "localhost").. but today, I found I had made a syntax error in that fix! :-( So, I apologize to those that have taken the time to run and report your server performance and specs, only to find that it was ultimately overwritten! This problem should be fixed as of now. If you'd like to run it again, you can find/download the file here: http://www.euca.us/index.html?page=dev (click on "WebDNA Server Speed Test") For those that don't know what the WebDNA Server Speed test is, it is an old WebDNA-community-made file that tests aspects of your WebDNA Server's performance. It then allows you to post the results to a central server where you can view how your results compare to others. The aspects of this test that I find interesting are that you can see how your server compares to others in different areas, such as hard drive access performance, intensive CPU performance etc. NOTE: I am planning to add the use of "SPAWN" to the test at some point, so that we can see better the difference of use with multi-core servers. Right now, the test doesn't reveal much in this area, which could be a significant aspect to "real-life" server performance. Thanks! Donovan -- Donovan D.
