ioFTPD Future and Development

For the past two months we have been trying to get in contact with DarkOne, the lead developer of ioFTPD. Unfortunately we have not come up with much more information than he is alive and well according to sources in Finland. We're not sure why DarkOne has stopped responding. Last we spoke to him in Late January the project was still on schedule, the new core was assumed completed and he was making final adjustments to the API for the new web management interface. There were no indications that we saw that led to this point.

As a result, we are transitioning development to another developer on the team to continue development on ioFTPD. Unfortunately we have to redevelop some of the code base since DarkOne had not updated our code repository here in the US, which included some of the new core optimizations.

Rest assured, ioFTPD is still under development and will continue to include feature requests and bug fixes. We expect current issues to be addressed by the end of May and continued development on an optimized core and new features after that. The May timeline is based on transitioning duties to a new project lead and reorganizing.

Scripters will also be taken care of. Whatever contributions have been made will be given to those deserving. Please give us some time to get this sorted out but we will definitely take care of those people even though it will be out of IniComâs pocket.

In the mean time we will be working to integrate ioFTPD information, support, purchasing, and the forums into a more supported area. Please look for changes towards the middle of April. The scripters pool will be reviewed and taken care of as soon as possible. In the mean time please send any support related requests to support )at( inicom.net and we will respond as soon as possible. Please be patient during this transition as we are working to get things back on track as quickly as possible.
