1060 NetKernel 3.2 Released
1060(R) Research, Ltd is pleased to announce the release of
1060(R) NetKernelTM 3.2.
1060(R) NetKernelTM is a resource-oriented computing
platform and application server. NetKernel is built on
JavaTM and will run on any operating system supporting
Java 1.4.2 or later.
"This new release of NetKernel continues our tradition of
regularly upgrading and improving an already solid product", says
Peter Rodgers, CEO of 1060 Research. "We continue to broaden the
coverage, whilst maintaining the quality, of the libraries we
provide with NetKernel. In this release the major XML libraries
have been updated, the Groovy and Ruby language services have been
updated, and a number improvements in the tool interfaces and
documentation have been implemented. Our dual license business
model has allowed us to incorporate enhancements contributed by
both our open-source and commercial user-communities. By working
together we all benefit."
New for NetKernel 3.2, is a library to access the Berkeley DBXML
database. "Support for DBXML is a welcome addition. It will allow
us to integrate, combine and query existing XML resources in our
NetKernel solutions.", said Paul Hermans, Senior Architect, at
Amplexor.
NetKernel 3.2 also includes the new PiNKY module. A community
open-source project, sponsored by 1060 Research, that provides an
implementation of a Yahoo! Pipes feature set for NetKernel. "PiNKY
is the fruit of a very enthusiastic community project to create and
extend Yahoo! Pipes capabilities on NetKernel. It offers a powerful
and very efficient collection of feed processing services for
NetKernel.", said Rodgers. "This library gives enterprises the
ability to rapidly construct feed pipeline applications. It is now
very simple to create innovative views of internal corporate data
for consumption at a corporate workstation using any desktop feed
reader client."
NetKernel's industry leading support for dynamic programming
languages continues. Groovy language programs now run on Groovy
release 1.0. Ruby support, first introduced in NetKernel 3.1, has
been upgraded to the JRuby 0.9.9 release. The new release of Ruby,
while not yet certified for production, provides a significant
improvement in speed and robustness.
1060 Research's ongoing commitment to provide the industry's
most powerful industry-standard XML toolset continues with a
comprehensive update of the core XML libraries in NetKernel 3.2 to
XMLBeans 2.2, Xerces 2.9.0, Xalan 2.7.0 and Stax 1.2.
About NetKernel
NetKernel is a resource-oriented computing platform built on
micro-kernel architecture that extends and combines concepts seen
in Unix and the Web. It provides advanced technology that makes
building powerful software simple and less expensive.
With resource-oriented computing, developers work at a flexible
logical level, composing solutions using information resources and
services. The resource-oriented level rests above the physical
API-based level of objects, code and data. Customers using
NetKernel report a ten to one-hundred times reduction in code
compared to systems developed using physical computing based
systems such as Java, J2EE, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), and
Microsoft .Net.
NetKernel 3.2 is offered for use with either the 1060 Public
open-source license or commercial license.
About 1060 Research, Limited
Founded in 2002 with technology seeding from Hewlett-Packard
Labs, 1060 Research, Ltd. is an industry leading innovator of
