This week and last, I uploaded a couple updates for some of my OpenNTF projects.
XPages Jakarta EE 3.2.0
First up is a new version of the XPages Jakarta EE project. This one is primarily about bug fixing and shoring up some of the 3.x line of features some more. Of particular note, it fixed a problem that crept in that caused the use of Concurrency to break the application, which was a bit of a problem.
WebFinger for Domino 2.0.0
About two years ago, I created the WebFinger for Domino project, primarily as a way to publish profile information in a way that works with Mastodon, though the result would work with ActivityPub services generally.
I'm fond of the goals of open formats like WebFinger and the related IndieWeb world. While Domino's licensing has been hostile to this world of personal sites since basically the 90s, it's still a good conceptual fit, and so I like to glom stuff like this on top of it when I can.
Anyway, I was reminded of this project and started thinking about ways to expand it beyond just its original use. For now, I mostly wanted to dust it off and make it extensible. The result is version 2.0.0, which refactors the code to allow for more stuff in the output. Along those lines, I added the ability to specify PGP public keys and have them included in the list, along with a Servlet to host them on your server. I plan to look around for other things people like to include in their profiles and add them in. I don't actually ever do much with PGP, but it's nice to have it in there.
