Mobile Application Link Source Distribution
===========================================
Version 0.6 April 21, 1999
Status
------
This is a very early release of MAL -- the software is far from complete.
We are making this early source release available to a limited audience to
accelerate feedback on MAL and assure that the protocol and implementation
will meet all of our mutual requirements.
We have tried to mark all of the areas in the protocol and code that we
know are incomplete with the string, "PENDING," and a comment describing
the issue.
We expect MAL to reach a solid release state by May 1999
New in Version 0.6
------------------
* Installers for Palm OS and Windows CE devices, which deliver:
- HotSync conduit binary, Win32 (Palm OS installer)
- ActiveSync desktop module, Win32 (Windows CE installer)
- MobileLink.exe desktop configuration interface, Win32
- Mobile Application Link Palm OS binaries (Palm OS installer)
- Mobile Application Link Windows CE binaries (Windows CE installer)
* InstallShield source for the above installers
* Multilink tool.
- Necessary to build libmal.prc using gcc. CodeWarrior for
Palm Computing platform users can build libmal without
multilink. Multilink is only available in tar/zip format,
not on the cvs server. See http://www.avantgo.com/mal/download.html
* Make file modifications for Linux (submitted by Peter Bohac)
* Numerous bug fixes
Mailing Lists
-------------
There are two mailing lists for those interested in MAL: mal-announce and
mal-dev. The mal-announce mailing list is for general announcements and
updates on the status of the Mobile Application Link software while
mal-dev is for detailed technical discussions.
To subscribe to these lists send mail to:
mal-announce-request@lists.avantgo.com --or--
mal-dev-request@lists.avantgo.com
with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message (not the subject).
