Report for Week 4


After the setbacks of the previous two weeks, Week 4 has been remarkably 
productive. It has seen:

* The progression of the libnode93 / libnode-dev / node-addon-api 
Launchpad packages to fully usable state (except the Jammy version which 
is waiting on 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1979639)

     https://launchpad.net/~mmomtchev/+archive/ubuntu/libnode

* The progression of the napi-libnode PR to more or less 
feature-complete state that will hopefully find many other uses besides 
ZOO-Project

     https://github.com/mmomtchev/libnode

     https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/43542

* The integration of the new packages into the ZOO-Project build 
replacing the previous custom Docker images

* The progression of the Node.js support in ZOO-Project to usable state 
- the first PR will probably get merged very soon

     - Including the JS/C++ object transforms

     - And the previously existing JS-exposed methods (ZOOTranslate, 
ZOOUpdateStatus, ZOORequest)

     - alert() has been replaced by the console.*() family

     https://github.com/mmomtchev/ZOO-Project/tree/nodejs


With all of this I am very happy to affirm that the Node.js project is 
currently a full week ahead of the initial schedule.


The next week will be dedicated to further improving the usability of 
libnode - including full CJS and ES6 modules support - and the support 
of asynchronous requests in ZOO-Kernel.
