Hi,
A new version (0.8.3.6) of Indus containing bug fixes (thanks to various reporters) and some optimizations is now available for download.
The major change in this release is that Indus core libraries have been finally open sourced. After some delay, this decision was taken after various requests and increased interest in using, extending, and possibly learning from Indus. The sources are provided under Eclipse Public License 1.0. As part of this change, the source for Kaveri is now provided under EPL (instead of the previous KSU Academic Source License).
The source for the core libraries are available under the package titled "Source_bundles" on the download page.
Although Indus has served its initial personal purpose (i.e. serve as a platform for my dissertation), I will continue to act as the Indus project lead and continue to assist its users and contributors/developers. As always, I am interested in hearing about user experiences (to address bad ones and to sustain good ones), enhancement/feature requests, and bug reports. As the open sourcing eases the possibility for external contributions to Indus, I am interested in hearing about and collaborating (both development and publications) within both academia and industry on possible ideas/contributions to extend/alter/apply Indus.
I have had a fun, exciting, and enriching time initiating and developing Indus. I hope the same will be true for users and prospective contributors/developers.
Hoping that the open sourcing of Indus will benefit the community,
