10-03-2008 : Second beta release

I just correct an annoying bug on windows while mapping directly a drive.
Note that it could be quite slow while refreshing big folders (with lots of files and sub folders).

05-03-2008 : Subversion repository online

The project's subversion repository is now online ;)

01-03-2008 : First release

I'm proud to release the first beta release of eParapher.

After many discussions with friends (other PKI experts), i went to some conclusions :

• electronic signature market isn't really mature.
• Actually, there is no reference opensource software for file signature and keystore managment.
• open source and security make sense.

So i decide to release it as an opensource software, to let grow a community of contributors, and sell consulting services (packaging, deployment) if it's successfull.

This software is a gift to the community. It's a kind of big "merci" to life for some personal recent event that finally finished quite well.
