HostGUI Dead?

[HCMarkG]

Hey,

I went to the devpon forum and requested a license for HostGUI but heard nothing back, is the project dead?

Hi Mark,
no its not althought I'll admit I havent been keeping up on the replies there lately since Ive taken that trip to Atlanta. The whole devpond site is about to be reworked and "unleashed" along with a new product we've been working on.

Our nixcore system, the one we use here at jag and the one whose underlying code drives hostgui has undergone literally hundreds of changes since the hostgui files were released. Im about to update those files, set out a release candidate, open up some support channels, and automate the licensing scheme. Eta for all of these to be complete is Oct 25.

hmmm come and gone... Yes, I think its official, hostGUI is vapor ware

[JPC-Greg]

Hostgui has been downloadable since like may, hows that vapor ? heh, just go to devpond.com

the new version and versioning/auto licensing system isnt up but the softwares there, free to download from the posted links.

Might be a good idea to update your sig then.

Why are you considering using H-sphere when you have HostGUI ???
is it not ready?

HostGUI is no longer a Server Control Platform, it is a Billing System, (think: Modernbill)

NixCore, I beleive, will be the server control platform, if.when it is released

[JPC-Greg]

I think theres a bit of confusion here, hostgui is the backend control system like our own nixcore. We use parts of nixcore to create and release a version of our own system, renamed as hostgui. nixcore = jag system , proprietary. hostgui = a public release version of nixcore (minus our trade secrets) .
