At least that's what Erik reports (it's not reported on Jakarta's site). [Download · Release Notes] I especially like the part about it being significantly faster than 4.1.18. I'll have to upgrade in the near future.
This weeks sucks to be a contractor. It's a 2-day week and that's all I'm getting paid for - 2 days. Damnit, wish I was full-time. Then again, if I were making the big bucks, 2 days would be plenty to pay the mortgage. Alas, I am not - and I'm tempted to work this weekend. What the hell is wrong with me - work on the weekend?! I make fun of my friends when they work on the weekend - now I'm a hypocrite. I have a to do list that makes my weekend boring as all getout:
No wonder I miss Julie and Abbie so much when they're gone - I sit in front of the fricken computer all the time! When I get out of the house (or simply off the computer), I find I miss them much less (it's been almost 2 weeks!). I might have to scrap my to do list (save the paid part - item 3) and get off the damn computer. Booking happy hour and ski dates shortly... ;-)
I discovered this one by accident today, but I think it's a pretty cool feature. This site (wonder if it's using gallery) has the following HTML in the <head> of its photo album pages.
<link rel="start" href="index.html" title="Home" /> <link rel="prev" href="index2.html" title="Back" /> <link rel="next" href="index4.html" title="Next" />
In Opera 7, an Opera-based bar magically appears at the top of the page, with the "Home", "Previous", and "Next" buttons enabled. Same thing on Mozilla, but only if you have the Site Navigation Bar enabled (View -> Show/Hide -> Site Navigation Bar). I also discovered that you can change the location/display of the Opera Navigation Bar at View -> Navigation Bar. I've verified that this does not work on the following browsers: IE/Win, Camino, Safari, Phoenix.
So what's the big deal - why are you writing about this? Because I think it gives a nice way to integrate workflow into a web application. You could probably put JavaScript in the "href" attribute's value to submit a form and guide a user to the next step in the process. Of course, you should still add appropriate buttons/links to your pages, but it's a nice UI for replicating choices for your users.
I'm using DBUnit on all many of my personal projects (appfuse, struts-resume, security-example, day job) right now and I really dig it. It makes things so much easier. Mainly I've been using it to populate a database with default data, and haven't made my JUnit tests depend on cleaning/inserting. Today I've decided to tackle this issue (clean, insert, run test) - so I trotted on over to dbunit.org and discovered a new version (1.5) was released at the beginning of this month. I'm hoping (haven't tried yet) that I can do an export and CLEAN_INSERT and my task will be finished.
BTW, I dislike the case of the name "Dbunit" and I prefer "DBUnit," so that's what I'll be typing it as - hope you don't mind.
I heard on the radio this morning that there might be another storm coming through next week. There was even talk that it might pack the same punch as the one this week. I certainly hope so! Now I just need to find a way to get myself snowed in at one of the ski resorts. ;-)
It snowed a bit more last night and it was snowing this morning when I came into work. Breckenridge got 8" last night, so hopefully we'll get some good skiing in tomorrow.
