The real ~~achivements~~ of this release was the creation of a nice core of developers, of whom I think the most relevant were Ulrich Eckhardt, Masahiro Minami and Dan Brown, and the fact that the client was running on Linux, Windows, BeOS and MacOS. The base still had the problem of being very hardcoded and the source was really, really badly written so we did what has been a constant in Arianne: ~~completly~~ recode ~~the~~ it, saving only the knowledge gained from ~~out~~ mistakes.

This was one of the greatest things about the Arianne project; we always knew we could do better. Hence we started to code it again from scratch, which unfortunately halted the project for around 6 months during which ~~and~~ there was no significant progress.

The project ~~numering~~ was changed from the expected 0.4.0 version to 1.0.0 alpha 1.

The project numbering was changed from the expected 0.4.0 version to 1.0.0 alpha 1.

The whole Arianne project was ~~extremly~~ well documented, everything, from specification to design, was written down on webpages and made available to everyone. These design docs (ignoring big changes in the implementation) are still valid.

Miguel successfully managed to coordinate about 30 people and to make a standard image of the project, thus everything looked like part of a common project... of Arianne.

== Year 2001 ==

2001 was the year of Arianne. Many new and interesting people joined the project. However, unfortunately a new type of contributor appeared: the camper. These ~~where~~ people that joined the project, asked for tasks and vanished after that. It was a pity because they delayed the project a lot and made it much harder to keep adding new features.

Line 259:

Marauroa was refactored to achieve more abstraction and was added a new persistence layer, making it a pro choosal for developing small online games.

[[Stendhal]] kept evolving and featured a big play area with thousands of creatures interacting with players.

== Year 2007 ==

[[Image:Stendhal074.png|Stendhal]]

Marauroa was refactored to meet the requirements of an online roleplaying game like Stendhal better.

Line 268:

== Year 2009 ==

Marauroa now supports multi threaded database access using [[~~DAO~~]]s.

Marauroa now supports multi threaded database access using [[High Level Database Access|Data Access Objects]] and can now dynamically instantiate and destroy copies of zones to allow instantiated dungeons.

== Year 2010 ==

Development of Stendhal is going forward quickly. There is now a NPCs for trading between players and the sound system was completely rewritten, allowing much finer control and background music.

See the [[Review Of 2010]].
