nBRIEF Update

While development of nBRIEF is firing on all cylinders, myself and the team here at NymTec have made some decisions and goals for the project.

First of all, the initial development of nBRIEF will be done on the .NET Platform. Initial Alpha and Beta releases will be made available with a 90 day limited free testing period. The releases will include .Net executables to work WITH the framework, and executables with the framwork BUILT IN.

Once we've nailed down the feature set, and got it bug free the code will be migrated to "native" unmanaged C++, before the last step to assembly.

"Why Oh Why are we using .NET?!?!??!"

Simple; it's what we know best, our lead programmer (myself) spends 50+ hours a week developing custom applications, controls and databases for our clients in .NET. With the tremendous amount of work involved in reversing, disassembling and re-writing BRIEF, we feel that developing the INITIAL version in .NET is the most efficient way to move the project forward. Rest assured that we WILL port the .NET code to unmanaged C++, and finally to good old assembly!! If you decide to purchase nBRIEF, once it is in a "workable" state, you will be entitled to free version upgrades once the better, more optimized releases in C++ and assembly are released.

Our current working goal is to finish the disassembly of the original BRIEF to lockdown the design document so that coding can commence.

Thanks,

Jake
