After 1 year and 9 months J-Pilot 1.6.0 is released!!! Progress was slow at times, but trust me, a lot of work went into this. The major improvements are support for Contacts and Memos. There are so many other improvements and bug fixes that I couldn't summarize them all. Special thanks goes out to: Rik Wehbring for all of his hard work patching, debugging and coding. Ludovic Rousseau for his Debian packages and patches. Karl Schmidt, Richard Mancussi, Russell Button for chipping in to donate a Treo 680 for R&D. Why version 1.6.0? The version number for J-Pilot has always been about the level of functionality that it had. The first version 9 years ago was 0.90 because I thought it was 90% done. I was wrong, but that's where it started. It never quite got to where I wanted for a 1.0 release. With the newer database code (Contacts and Memos) requiring major rewrites of much of the code it didn't make sense to approach 1.0 anymore, but 2.0. If supporting Contacts, Calendar, Memos, and Tasks is 2.0, then we are at 1.6.0. Judd
