The planned release for Tricast Mail 1.5 is put on hold for now. It still has bugs - mostly coming from some really old models which we continue to support - and until we get to a point where we’ve got things settled we will continue to keep it private. But things are getting better.

Tricast Mail 1.5 will be the final release of the Tricast Mail (Personal Edition). From v2.0 onwards, Tricast Mail will adopt a PROXY-based solution, thereby reducing the client footprint size further, and offloading the heavy lifting and processing to the server. What you can expect is multiple fold enhancement in speed of downloads, almost near-instant opening of mail content, and streaming and compression techniques applied to make the over all user experience, resulting in dramatically improved performance. And while normally we wouldn’t be proud of this - we have also fixed a few hundred bugs.

Another announcement is that we have made a conscious decision to release software more often internally and less often externally in order to make a more reliable piece of software in the end. On TWUIK, we have v2.0 coming, but I have nothing new to say for now. Check us out at JavaONE ‘07. So it seems that in the next couple weeks we should be releasing some stuff both as GM and public beta. Crossing Fingers! Stay tuned.
