End of an era?

Posted on 2nd Oct 2009 in : Techno Babble

Or stepping forwards?

I *think* I've come to the conclusion that InnerVisions && WafflesOn won't be moving beyond the 2.x.x series of b2evolution. There's way to much shit in the 3.x+ series that I *really* don't want. With this in mind I'm going to start shutting down my code blog, all comments will be locked and any questions will be redirected to the evo forums. Eventually I'll archive it off to a "static" site ... not that hard really, it lives on it's own domain.

I'll continue to be active in the forums and will, obviously, support all our current plugins for every version they've been released for, and I'll (probably) bring them all up to the 3.x.eventually_stable series, if there's enough demand. Eventually I'll move them all into svn so other people are free to take them over.

What about BOPIT?

BOPIT has already been moved to it's own sub domain, running it's own files/database, and other people have admin/ftp access, so I'm pretty sure it's going to continue ... I'll make sure it does huh? ... with a tad of luck it'll eventually be replaced by core functionality ... until then I'll keep it alive and kicking ;)

The future?

For now it'll be based on 2.x.x, and I'll hack the core files to suit my/our clients needs. After that? I'm really not sure, and that's not a teaser :p

Was it fun?

Yes. b2evo taught me many things, not least of which was php && mysql :D For that alone I'm forever indebted ;)

ayuh. Some 'o the new bits are kinda cool, but there's way too much crap to wade through to make it worth the while eh?

I can just about handle what is in the current release. Bit worried about what is being checked into CVS these days though :(

Glad you will still be on the forums :D

Lets see ... not including the staff that work at the travel agents, and all the 3rd parties that they have to reveal shit to, to be able to book a holiday ... and not including roy ... and the cat ... there's 4 people that know about the holiday .... and 3 of us were there when we booked it ... so .... the conclusion is ... yanks really have fuck all idea about subtlety .... do they scott (aka biatch ) :|

Good to hear :D Are you moving forwards with whissip branch ?

Comment by ¥åßßå on 03/10/09
Unfortunately Whissip is mainly a utf8 version of the current core. I'll be using 2.4.7 as the basis of anything that I do for a while.

Guess I do need a holiday :p

Ah, I see. 2.4.7 is a good solid version though. There are a few nice things about the 3.x series if you know how to wade through crud :D
Comment by ¥åßßå on 03/10/09
There's a hell of a lot of things I like about 3.x ... unfortunately I only have ball high waders and 3' long legs ;)
