#History of Jack For full development history and usage see JackHelpFile.txt

• New Developments by lccodes (aka root):
  1. Random and Psuedo Random Auctions (web compatible)
  2. First and Second Price sealed bid auctions (w.c.)
  3. Recovery auctions, which allow for the restart to the second of the current sequence
  4. Crash prevention mechanisms
  5. Bugets; now we can assign each bidder a budget which persists throughout the sequence
  6. Updated web interface; more user friendly and fewer glitches
  7. Second Web Interface (under construction)
  8. Bash control panel: easily configure auction sequences and run different xml files with a simple command See scripts/run.sh
