The 0.2 release of JFission is imminent. A release candidate has been made available on the download page, and it will probably be renamed directly into the official 0.2 release. The online documentation and examples has been updated to reflect the changes and additions.

Well, I'm about to start the switch from connecting Apache and Tomcat with mod_rewrite to using mod_jk, which should yield much greater performance, as well has handle redirects properly (which mod_rewrite doesn't seem to, even with following the manual word for word). I'm also taking over mail and DNS hosting for all the domains that I control outside my company-related ones, so it'll all be here. The only thing that will stay third-party is the AccessoryOutfitters.com website, which I can't host, because it uses MS Access. Once JFission progresses a little bit more (need some file-management tags), I'll probably rewrite it with JSP so I can self host it, and get out of that last $20 a month.
I finally got a mail server (SMTP and POP) running on here, using a really nice "toaster" from Bill Shupp. The Courier (IMAP server) doesn't seem to work, but I know little about IMAP, and I didn't plan on using it, so I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.
I can now officially be reached at barneybdocument.write('@');barneyb.com, where anything. It is my intention to NEVER let go of this domain, now that I've finally gotten ahold of it (some guy in Hong Kong has had it for the past few years), so that's the email address to keep track of.
Now I'm in the process of migrating all my various domains over, both for DNS and email. The web hosting will stay dispersed, as I can't offer ColdFusion nor Access, but such is life.
After long-standing frustration with certain aspects of the CF error templates, I finally took some time to build in the display of CFQUERYPARAM values on database exceptions. I've packaged up the files you need to run the modified templates and made them available for download.
Bug reports can be submitted through the Email Me form, or to any of my email addresses (particularly those I use for mailing lists) if you know them.
I got the 0.1 functionality of JFission fully implemented and it has passed all the JUnit tests, which is promising. It's not yet running on my real server, but it's on my dev box and running like a champ. I'm working on updating the docs and then I'll put it up here for download.
