involved in preparation of the Mesa 3.0 Alpha Test release.
Mesa 3.0.
The elements of this release are essentially complete. Current activity is involved with
building and testing the Alpha test version.
Preliminary observation of the performance of the new Binder indicates a performance
improvement of a factor of 10.
Alpha test release is now scheduled for August 31. This represents a slip of about two
weeks from the original (June 30) Work Plan. The August 31 delivery was determined
during a replan of the Alpha release performed on August 15. We are currently progressing
according to that plan.
The documentation will be complete in a draft format at the time of Alpha Test release.
