Description
History
Emergence first emerged at the time that the Emerald Viewer was intentionally placing their users systems at risk. It was created with the goal to completely remove all code that could have been potentially tampered with in order to provide a secure alternative for people who needed a similar feature set, without using the emerald executable. More information on this can be found Here and Here. Eventually other developers also realized that emerald could not be salvaged, and a group of developers started the Phoenix Viewer project with a similar goal and emerald code base. Due to their larger support and development team, and sharing the same goal, the Emergence viewer is Mostly Suspended.
Code Differences
A human readable list of changes can found at the bottom of the Google Code Hosting Page.
Additionally, after the merge of the Phoenix code base, commit logs can be easily viewed on this log.
Developers and Support
Due to the nature of this project, all Development and Support is ran by LordGregGreg Back.
Most quick support issues can be answered by other users in either the Emergence Group or LordGregGreg's Group.
