ICE cycle 2008-05-22
Summary
In the previous cycle there were mostly minor updates and bug fixes carried out. We are yet to resolve Subversion issues being experienced with directory conflicts and multi-threading; Also, adding the repository name to URLs has greatly improved usability however, it has also caused other problems, most have now been resolved. Because of these issues we have not yet released another Beta version.
The cycle notes have been published late due to other priorities and there has been no actual cycle meeting due to staff being unavailable. However, we have discussed priorities and they basically remain the same as the last few cycles, resolve the SVN probs and get another Beta release out, as well as setup the SVN repositories for a wider and greater use of ICE at USQ.
