All,

Here's a short status update from the development team.

We had a teleconference with the development team.
It was great to meet up and get to talk about z390.

We're recognizing the need to start using a source repository.
So we're planning to move to gitgub, sometime soon.
As there will only be one opportunity to collect history,
we're busy building an initial repository with history.
Without the documentation in pdf, doc, or whatever,
just plain text files.

We're also experimenting with a change to the build
process for distribution files. We're hoping we make
this happen on the github server.
If all's well, we should also be able to get the
regression testing into the automated build procedure.

Work on the next release V1.7.06 is in progress.
This distro will be created following existing procedures.
If all goes well, it will be the last version to be produced this way.

Work on zCics and especially on zVSAM V2 is also progressing.

All in all we're enthusiastic about progress.
We're having lots of discussions.
If you want to participate in these discussions
please send me a note offline - I'll add you to the
z390 development group.

Kind regards & Stay safe!
Abe
