We are in the process of releasing the latest version. There was
little point so far, hence the lack of activity in the blog you refer
to. "...there is a lot of information missing...'. Be good to hear
what you were looking for and whether you visited the OpenAMQ.org Web
site? A good reason for the relatively small amount of information is
lack of time (ours). Despite derogatory remarks to the contrary, there
are people that devote a lot of time working on open source software
and making it available to the VMS community.
