Railo team has made a final decision to start doing nightly builds / BER on Github ( http://github.com/getrailo/railo ). We will continue to use JBoss SVN ( http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/railo/ ) for pushing stable builds. We're now working on creating a build script to make it easier to build Railo.
First off, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy 2010!! Almost 2 weeks late. Better late than never. ;) Railo Open Source has come a long way since the open source release on March 31st, 2009 and we hope to make 2010 even more interesting for the community.
For those of you that aren't on the mailing list, you may be unaware that Jordan Michaels of Vivio Technologies fame has stepped up to be the Volunteer Community Deployments Coordinator for Railo last month. Jordan Michaels and Andrea Campolonghi have been busy ever since getting the new Installers project up and running. Keep in mind that this is a Community effort and the Railo team is very appreciative of Jordan's time in helping the CFML Community become a better place as he's also very active with the Open BlueDragon installers as well.
Be sure to keep tabs on http://projects.getrailo.org/, you may find some interesting hosted projects now and then.
We are very proud to present the next minor release of Railo labeled 3.1.2 which you can easily install by following the usual update procedure as described here.
Updating Railo.
What is new in this version?
http://projects.getrailo.org/ is now available for those Open Source projects that extend / enhance Railo. Big thank you to Andrea Campolonghi for the time he spent setting this up. If you have a open source project enhancing or extending Railo and would like to have a project hosting along with access to a public SVN and Trac (wiki), please contact us so that we can get you going!
The Ajax Railo project has been relocated to http://projects.getrailo.org/projects/railoajax/.
Andrea Campolonghi dropped a line on the Railo mailing list informing us that railoajax.org is the new home of his cfml/ajax implementations of cfajaxproxy, cfdiv and more.
Andrea also mentioned a few weeks ago, that some people may not be huge jQuery fans (gasp!). He has taken the time to abstract jQuery out of the "core" functionality of this effort in hopes that people that are using Railo and using other javascript frameworks (dojo, extjs, yui and more) may have a starting point to work from. I have to agree, the more we can be consistent about this, the better off the community will be. So, if you're a huge fan of the other javascript frameworks and you want to get involved with railoajax.org, drop Andrea a line!
We're proud to announce that Railo 3.1 final is available. If you're running Railo 3.1 beta, you can upgrade via the server context with a push of a button!

We're in full swing at CFUnited, so if you're here, please stop by the Railo booth and introduce yourself!
p.s. You'll have to excuse any typos as typing on a german keyboard is funky. ;)
Just wanted to drop a note and inform everyone that the Railo 3.1 build is now available and entering release candidate. You can download 3.1 via getRailo.org or if you have an existing Railo admin, log in and goto Services > Update.
Sean Corfield has posted new and improved simplified instructions on how to build 3.1.0.020.
This probably going to be a recap of things that a lot of you may already know. If not, here's your chance to read the recap and to get involved!
Over on An Architect's View, you'll find a complete, step-by-step description of how to build Railo from source code. We'll be incorporating this into our standard documentation in due course but wanted to put it out there as a blog post to get some feedback on the process.
