Announcement: Stomperl 0.0.1

Dear all,

Stomperl 0.0.1 (the first preview release) is out.

Stomperl [http://code.google.com/p/stomperl/] is an implementation of Stomp [http://stomp.codehaus.org/] broker with Erlang. That means performance, scalability, reliability and elegance in concurrent programming are our goals. And since Stomp is simple enough, it's a good start point to learn Erlang/OTP programming.

Version 0.0.1 is the first preview release. The main purpose is to gather feedbacks from the community. So far it supports basic elements in Stomp protocol: CONNECT, DISCONNECT, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, SEND and RECEIPT. It passes acceptance tests built with both Java and Perl clients. That's why I consider it as "usable" and decide to announce it.

To give Stomperl a try (NOTE: EUnit later than 2.0 beta is required):

1. Check it out with Subversion:svn checkout http://stomperl.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.0.1/ stomperl-0.0.1
2. Kick off the broker:make startup
3. Now you can connect to the broker at port 61613. However I suggest you run the test suite first: make test

What's next? I suppose Stomperl will support full Stomp protocol in its 0.0.2 version, along with a better test coverage. We will do more acceptance test, compatibility test and performance test in the future. But first, any suggestion and feedback would be highly appreciated.
