H@me Development

Getting version 1.0 of H@me out the door meant many late nights of development and I took a couple weeks off from working on the next release.  The overwhelming positive response however has been fantastic and I thank everyone for their kind words as well as feature and bug requests at the H@me project page.

In order to avoid burn out I have been tinkering with other parts of the application instead.  This includes writing an entirely new network library based on HAI’s omni-link II protocol.  Two big features are TCP based networking and push style notification of events (not to be confused with Apple’s upcoming pushed events), the one big drawback is that it will only work on units with firmware 2.16 and higher.  I would love to get feed back on what firmware users have on their systems an how this would affect others.

Development on 1.1 will start shortly, I have plenty of feature and bug requests to warrant a release.  I have opened comments up on this site so please feel free to voice your opinions.
