>> Hi All,
>>
>> Happy new year for 2009.
>>
>> It's been a while since we stopped working on Xitami/2.5.
>>
>> Well, we've started on a new version of Xitami, which will be called
>> Xitami/5.  (Versions 3 and 4 were started, and dropped, internally.)
>>
>> It'll be a while before this becomes a polished stand-alone product,
>> and that will only happen if people ask for it and help make it so.
>> Our main reason for restarting this concept is that we need a small,
>> tough server as the front-end for new web services we're making.
>>
>> Xitami/5 will remind you a lot of Xitami: compact, efficient, and easy
>> to configure.  It won't have CGI or LRWP, unless someone helps make
>> this.  It's meant above all to be scalable on multicore boxes, secure
>> (it will have SSL support), and unhackable. It will run on most OSes
>> but we're not going to spend time making nice Win32 front-ends.  It
>> will run without ever crashing.
>>
>> I've put a post on www.zyre.com (Zyre is the new web messaging service
>> we're making) that explains a little more.
>>
>> Technical details: Xitami/5 uses the Base2 server framework we built
>> for OpenAMQ (www.openamq.org).  That gives us multithreading and a
>> nice development environment.
>>
>> As we get code that works, and if there is interest, we'll put up a
>> new website.  In the meantime, we've put up a sample of the new
>> documentation here: http://xitami.wikidot.com/doc:xitami-5.
