JVx 0.8 ist out now!

We put much time and work into the new release. It contains almost 100 improvements!

But before we go into the details, it should be mentioned that JVx is now hosted on SourceForge. This step was particularly important to us, in order to be able to develop together with our Community.

Our Forum contains detailed instructions for working together.
We appreciate any help.
