[Bluej-announce] BlueJ 2.2.0 released

[Michael Kölling]

Dear BlueJ Users,

We have just released a new version of BlueJ: BlueJ 2.2.0.

This is the first substantial BlueJ update for quite some time. Never  
has any BlueJ release been in beta state for longer. This had two  
reasons: Firstly, this release contains new functionality where we  
were looking for feedback from as many outside testers as we could  
get, and secondly, both the primary developers of the most  
substantial new functionality in this release came to the end of  
their degrees within that time!

Davin McCall finished his Masters degree while working on this, and  
Bruce Quig submitted his PhD.

With these minor distractions, Bruce and Davin managed to finish one  
of the most interesting additions to BlueJ in recent years (based on  
work started by Kasper Fisker):

	Support for group work.

BlueJ now explicitly supports team work based on CVS (with subversion  
support to be added later in the year). BlueJ presents a simple  
interface to a subset of CVS functionality (sharing of projects,  
concurrent editing and merging, history). This is, I think, one of  
the simplest interfaces to a group work system currently available.

Documentation is available, but it still being improved. New versions  
of the documentation will be added shortly.

Try it our, and let us know what you think.
