The xPL Project

A new xPL application is available, for some weeks now; xPL Updater. The application lists all applications known by the different vendor/developers from their plugins.

If you’re looking for a start in xPL, check the list in this application. For each app you can find the details on versions, vendor, info-webpage and download webpage. It also maintains a list of versions, and shows new/updated versions with an icon indicator. As for all developers; please check the application for your own apps and update your plugins if required (see the updated plugin spec).

The application itself runs on Windows, but lists all applications for all platforms (from the downloaded plugins) and checks the versions of all local applications (seen on the network and on the local windows machine) against the latest version.

You can download it here.

Happy updating!

A new installer tool (xPL Check Package) created and just released. On the windows platform it can easily be added to an installer and it presents a simple interface to the end user to configure some core xPL stuff (firewall ports and hub). If all fails, Mals diagnostics tools have been included as well.

Hopefully this will improve the setup experience for first time users and will enable them to get up-and-running quicker (and reduce the support effort at the same time). So all windows developers are invited to add it to their installers!

If you want to give it a try, get the SMS application, its the first app to include it.

You can download it here or get the source code from the SVN.
