Work is underway to upgrade the website and the various application servers. Perforce Helix/Up, P4Web/Up, and the INN news server/Down are the primary focus. Initially, one newsgroup will be available, a new group named alerts. If prompted, do not delete the old groups. They will follow. Please add the new group to your newsreader. Periodically check the server status above (Online, Testing, Offline). The servers should be back online shortly. We thank you for your interest.
Our current release is version 1.90 dated 2010-05-25. The installation packages and manuals are available for download. Review the readme and license for assistance with the installation. Packages for C/C++, FORTRAN 77, and daily development builds are available under the Download tab above.
Maintenance time is being implemented to allow for development and testing. The server will be offline during the following hours:
| Day | USA | Day | Europe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun - Fri | 11 PM CST - 2 AM CST | Mon - Sat | 6 AM CET - 9 AM CET |
| Sat | 11 PM CST - 5 AM CST | Sun | 6 AM CET - 12 PM CET |
This will also include occasional, unscheduled maintenance on Saturday afternoon USA, evening Europe.
Our application servers are undergoing development and testing. Server status (Online, Testing, Offline) is shown above. We ask that you refrain from accessing the system until the Online is given. This will give us time to validate and test the system. Server revision status is shown below:
| Server | Revision | Server | Revision | Server | Revision |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P4Helix | 2021.1 | INN | 2.4.2 | Bugzilla | 2.22.1 |
| P4Web | 2006.1 | MariaDB | 10.3.28 | MediaWiki | 1.6.8 |
Tropical Storm Notice (June 1 to November 30): As our active tropical storm season is underway here in the USA, there may arise the need for us to take the server down as a precaution to allow inclement tropical weather to pass. If you are having difficulty accessing the site, please try back again in a day or so. It should be back online.
We use Perforce Helix as our version control system. We thank Perforce Software Inc. for their continuing support. P4 command line clients for Windows, OS/2 now ECS, and Linux are available for download. Consult the user guides for assistance with installation and usage.
Our current source tree //depot/openwatcom may be viewed online or under the Source tab above. Recent submits are also available online.
We provide developer and end user newsgroups at news.openwatcom.org, protocol NNTP, port 119. No password or login ID are required. After configuring your newsreader, subscribe to one or more of the following groups: alerts, bugzilla, contributors, users.assembler, users.c_cpp, and users.fortran.
We are also online at IRC channel #watcom on irc.freenode.net, also on http://webchat.freenode.net/. After configuring your IRC client, assign yourself a nickname and join the channel. For assistance with freenode, review the Knowledge Base.
Mozilla's Bugzilla is the foundation for our bug tracking system. Consult the user guide and wiki for assistance. A practice server is available at the Allizom Bugzilla website. Bug reports may be submitted and reviewed online or under the Bugzilla tab above.
