Brand new uZone 2.0 beta
Michal Blazek
Dear patient UnityPark developers,
At long last, the uZone 2.0 beta has finally arrived. It is a fully rewritten version of the uZone application designed for higher maintainability and stability. All the basic principles of the previous uZone 1.0.3 are still valid though.
uZone 2.0 contains several brand new features and we plan to extend it even more in the future. Beside the new features it does offer a completely new, easy to use, object oriented API.
We release uZone 2.0 as beta now, but we intend to completely replace the previous uZone version as soon as we have received your feedback.
Why not download it and take it for a spin?

Here is the list of the main improvements/changes
Implemented in C#/.NET. No Erlang runtime is required anymore.
The client side API has been completely redesigned. It is object oriented and should be much more intuitive now.
The uZone client implementation offloads a lot of responsibility from the application code. It automatically handles many uZone system notifications and keeps synchronized node and instance lists. Client applications no longer need to do these tasks manually.
Configuration file format changed from Erlang style to much more user-friendly JSON syntax.
-
Instance process monitoring has been added. This feature monitors the health of each running instance process and forcibly kills it if it gets into an unresponsive state.
And much more.
