		<description><![CDATA[Starting a few years back, a lot of digital cameras, even pocket models, started supporting video capture as well as the taking of traditional still (in JPEG and sometimes RAW format) pictures. Invariably, the supported video format was Motion JPEG, with pretty large file sizes. Then in the last year, cameras supporting h.264 / AVC [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve hard to touch RAD, so time had done it&#8217;s magic and put it&#8217;s rosy-tinted hue around that last experience, or at least dulled the memory a [...]]]></description>

Maven 2.0.5: released February 14, 2007.
I&#8217;m really glad Maven 2.0.5 is out, it fixes quite a number of important issues (along with some more more minor stuff and enhancements). But for a tool which should be one of the key enablers of an agile and frequent release process, something seems [...]]]></description>
