Is this product still in active development?

Hi,     Was just wondering if the iRule editor is still actively developed?     If so, where do we post bug reports and feature requests?     Regards     Jarv

It's still being developed but I wouldn't say "actively" B-). I do my best to add features in when they are requested and then issue new releases but we aren't building out new feature lists internally for it. Why do you ask? Is there a feature you would like added? If so, shoot away and I'll see what I can do for you.

 

 

The sources are available for download if you want to tinker for yourself. We've had a few new features come back in that way too.

 

 

We've had requests for support on other platforms (Linux, MacOS, iPad, etc) but the core of the editor uses a Win32 based COM control and it's been very difficult to get it to work in the emulation tools like Wine, Mono, etc. I'd like to build a native app for the other platforms but it would take a long time to get a parallel feature set.

 

 

I'd love to get your reason for asking and any and all feedback you have on it.
