Geneone 0.5.7 Technology Preview
April 13th, 2006
I have updated the whole of neonDragon.net to our latest technology preview - version 0.5.7.
Changes
Major changes in this version include optional use of CAPTCHAs, guest support, an overhaul of the edit pages with permission editing, property editing, etc. You can now configure the portlets which are shown on the blog and which web services you wish to ping (e.g. Technorati, Pingomatic). Comment UI has been overhauled and there has been a lot of code cleanup in the templates and reorganization of some files.
Download
Geneone is still in a technology preview state. It is not yet beta, so you should not run it on a production website. This release is unfinished and will contain bugs. There will be no way to upgrade from this version to a later one and pretty much every version has broken backwards compatibility with the previous one.
If you're still interested, download Geneone v0.5.7.
Version Numbering
I had some queries about the strange numbering scheme employed by Geneone. The project started off with a version 0.1, and the idea is that it is worked on, refined and developed until it reaches version 1.0 at which point it is stable. If you followed the project from the very very beginning, you'll know each version was split up into three milestones. There would be a 0.1 M1, 0.1 M2, 0.1 M3, 0.2 M1, 0.2 M2 and so on. When we started using some functions such as version_compare these became x.0, x.3 and x.7.
The idea is that big changes should take place in the first parts of the development for each milestone and when each milestone is released, the application should be pretty stable and bug-free.
I'm currently guessing we're about 6 releases away from a public preview so round about v0.8 we'll probably release a beta version to the public.
