New Tarzan pre-release is available!

Today we announce an updated Tarzan pre-release build for any developers not using the subversion trunk. A lot of work has gone into Tarzan over the past 2 months since the last release, namely:

• Added the ability to change the content-type of an existing object in S3.
• Fixed some minor bugs in SimpleDB and S3.
• Re-wrote all of the documentation in the entire project (which enables us to generate awesome documentation which can be found on the Tarzan documentation page).
• Launched an entirely new website!
• Added support for caching frequently requested data to enhance performance. Caching types currently include file-based, APC, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Informal tests tend to show a speed-up of between 600x-1000x, depending on the request and the type of cache being used.

If you’d rather not use the bleeding-edge subversion trunk builds, you can grab the latest pre-release build from the Tarzan download page. Check it out!

Tarzan website updated with all-new documentation

Most of my last month has been spent creating the new Tarzan website (which just launched a few weeks ago), and completely revamping the all-new online API reference. Now, although having online documentation isn’t new for this project, having it be (a) complete, and (b) match with the rest of the site was quite a bit of work. (more…)

Brand-new Tarzan website is now live!

Tarzan — the first product to graduate from our internal WarpShare Labs — now has a shiny new website to replace the janky one we had over at Google Code. Tarzan has grown up quite a bit since we started working on it in earnest in July 2007, and even since we open-sourced it back in April 2008. Now it has a big boy website to go with it! (more…)
