News & Updates
-------- December 2008 --------
The cohesion web site has been moved. It's long time host at Swinburne is scheduled to be terminated and not
replaced so I have moved it over here. I have also shamelessly added ads in the hope that there will be enough
traffic so it can pay it's own way. The email addresses on this site no longer work. My contact details can be
found on the www.chrysocome.net site.
-------- September 30, 2000 --------
Work on Cohesion over the last year has been scarce as we settle into our permanent positions as software
engineers in the IT industry, (or backpacking across Europe and Africa as the case may be).
One of our primary developers has been developing a modelling tool based on the Cohesion viewport for his firm.
These updates include a move to XML as the standard file format and allows the notations to be drawn in
a third party graphics tool allowing detailed scaleable vector graphics. These improvements, among
others will be incorporated into the next major release of Cohesion which should ship shortly.
A number of developers around the world have recognised the benefits of building applications on the
Cohesion Application Framework (CAF) and as a result, we have received
a number of requests for a less restrictive license on the cohesion libraries.
The move from the GPL was not taken lightly and was therefore subject to much debate among those of us
maintaining the project. We wanted to maintain the Open Source ideals while still allowing people
to build proprietry applications on top of the CAF base.
The end result was a slightly modified BSD license which can be viewed in its entirety here.
-------- November 26, 1999 --------
Last night we presented Cohesion to the Australian Java Users Group (AJUG)
focussing primarly on the kernel architecture and distributed application
framework. There is no doubt we left a good impression on the group given
the amount of interest in the product as well as interest in the people
behind it (some of us are still looking for permanent work for 2000).
Also today we updated the downloadable binaries to version 1.01 which
incorporates some fixes regarding saving stepped arcs correctly and also
saving language preferences when running from within the jar file.
We now have anonymous access to our source repository and and some documentation on
how to check out and build the repository. Access to the source repository is read only, to submit
any updates you will need to email it to us.
Coming soon... some documentation detailing how to build your own plugins for Cohesion.
Don't hold your breath though, we've now switched to a more relaxed approach
to development. Anyone that's interested now can contact us directly for a
more immediate response.
-------- October 22, 1999 --------

to finding out about Cohesion.

-------- October 4, 1999 --------
Last week was the mid-semester break and much was accomplished by all. The details of our accomplishments cannot be disclosed however because that would be telling.
Also of some interest to all is the final exam timetable. If you have yet to prepare for this event now would be the point of no return.
For more information click here
-------- September 23, 1999 --------
After weeks and weeks of preparation, our Project Metrics are now available for viewing.
In more exciting news, the North Kangaroos will battle it out with Carlton for Australia's (and some would argue, the Worlds) premier sporting premiership, the AFL premiership cup.
Both have earned a spot in the Premiership, with North confidently cruising into the Grand Final without having lost a game in the final series. Carlton however, have had a tougher
time getting a birth in the Grand Final. Having been crushed by Brisbane in the first week of the final series, they rebounded to defeat West Coast and then went on to win an amazing
game over arch rivals Essendon by 1 solitary point. We're sure Carlton supporters would like to thank Mark Mercuri and Dean Wallis for their efforts in the dying seconds of the game :).
-------- September 10, 1999 --------
