Uniform Server Development Status

Active and current:
Series 8-Coral: 100% - DETAILED documentation
This new version is a significant rewrite of the control programs. The main controller is now an html application program (.hta) referred to as UniController. The tray-based control panel has been modified to a plugin. Apanel has been scrapped and its functions are now all in a server control panel in UniController. Included is a new, detailed documentation set in HTML format.

Coral UniTray Plugin: There are three version of Coral UniTray:

• Basic: File Coral_Unitray_basic_8_0_0.exe
  Coral UniTray Basic provides menu items to launch either of the two UniController menus for running the servers as a standard program or as a service.

• Intermediate: File Coral_Unitray_intermediate_8_0_0.exe
  Coral UniTray Intermediate in addition to the basic version functionality includes direct Apache and MySQL server control. It eliminates the need to first open UniController menu before running servers as a standard program or as a service.

• Full: File Coral_Unitray_full_8_0_0.exe
  Coral UniTray Full expands UniTray’s capabilities to include most commonly used server utilities.

Coral Intl Plugin: To keep The Uniform Server footprint small, support for the PHP Internationalization extension is provided as a separate plugin. The Internationalization extension (Intl) is a wrapper for the ICU (International Components for Unicode) library.

Series 7-Orion: 100% Support Material
This version is still current and under maintenance, but no new features will be added.

Future:
Cleanup, resolving errors and omissions in 8-Coral, and standard maintenance. :-)

Stable, but with outdated components:
Version 4.5-Mona: 100% Support Material

Version 5.7-Nano: 100% Support Material
Supplementary support for 5-Nano Series
This is also applicable to 7-Orion.

Series 6-Carbo.
Uses US Tray Menu 2 instead of The UniTray. Uses VC9 (Visual C++ 2008) instead of VC6 (Visual C++ 6.0).

• A NEW PRODUCT!!! Coral-Mini is now available. This is a tiny package consisting of only Apache and some helper files. It's primary purpose is to create a simple fully portable CGI platform. There is also a CGI tutorial, which explains exactly how to create CGI-based content. It starts with the Introduction.

Over the next several months we will be revising and restructuring the Wiki, as well as adding new content aimed at supporting the upcoming Coral series of The Uniform Server.
