A Tale of Two Tools - Maven2 and StatCVS - O'Reilly ONJava Blog: "The other tool that I have been using is StatCVS. I was trying to figure out how to automate, in some fashion, the creation of release notes. My project is using CVS so I could get a dump of commit messages using cvs log. But the CVS log output is extremely verbose and certainly not suitable for management or other non-technical parties. The CVS redbook led me to cvs2cl.pl — a PERL script that creates a GNU-style change log from a cvs log. But, I had a hard time getting this running under cygwin so I researched a little more. This search led me to StatCVS. This tool, written in Java, parses a CVS log file and generates a set of web pages containing information gleaned from the log. Among other things, the tool does a nice job of formatting the commit messages, excluding the files that had no changes and grouping commit messages intelligently." - NICE

Enjoy Every Sandwich : Mission Almost Accomplished: SQL Server Express with Advanced Services: "LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. A pretty nice combination of technologies for easily building interactive and Database-backed Websites. I love the concept, its one that Microsoft didn't really captialize on with .NET 1.x. Sure, you had Windows as the OS, not free, but affordable for businesses. You also have IIS which is easy enough to configure and has improved considerable with the introduction of IIS6. And, yes, ASP.NET 1.x was most certainly a great web applicaiton platform. But where was the bit that that competed with MySQL? Well, that was MSDE. Enough said. Little wonder why there's been a lot of interest in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. But something about that offering just didn't make out the gate in time. Namely:
  • Like the MSDE story, there wasn't a free GUI for working with yet. For better or worse, XM didn't make it, and SSMSEE wasn't ready at RTM. I'm glad they didn't hold up for it, but its still somewhat holding the ASP.NET 2.0 platform for going head-to-head with LAMP, IMHO.
  • Towards the end of the development cycle of SQL Server 2005, the SQL Team decided that Express Edition really should support Reporting Services and Full-Text search. However, that decision was really made too late in the cycle to include them in the RTM. Microsoft said these features would be available with SP1."
