Last question. As said: my English is poor.
What 'several' means:
- 2-3 months
- 5 months
- a bit less than 10 months

The dictionary definition of several is a number greater than 2 or 3 but less than 'many'. :)

From what I heard about the state of development I expect to see a release of .8 Milestone 2 within the next 1-2 months (which will be the time everyone should start testing and adapting modules for it) and .8 final in about 6-8 months.

Then again I'm not a core dev and could be a little off. But who cares, .762 works for now and doesn't seem to have any security issues.

But who cares, .762 works for now and doesn't seem to have any security issues.

If it's a question, here is an answer: it is important for developers. It is significant difference between API in 762 and 0.8. Am I right?
If it's really ~8 months to the final release then it is reasonable to develope module with old/current API and then modify it with new API. If it's 2-3 months it is better to wait. That's why I was asking about meaning of word "several".

We'd all like to see PostNuke .8 final either released or close to it by the end of the year. However, there are no guarantees of this, as has been said many times before.

there are additions.. they're not going to change the API without adding backwards compatibility. Here's a tip: install the v4blib and use the dbUtil, the end result should be fully compatible with the .8 series. Here's another tip: why don't you try installing your module on the .8 codebase and fix the incompatibilities? have you tried this? if your big concern is about compatibility, then you should be working off of the MS releases.. personally, i found everything to work fine except for a change in the permissions plugin.

pnAPI and pnRender are the official way to code in .762 and will be the same in .8.
If you want to save time and code and develop faster, take the DBUtil and other v4blibs since they will be included in .8.
What will change is i.e. the transition from the Topics module to the Categories.
There's also a new Workflow system coming up and supposed to be fully operable with .8 MS2, so that will be the point when developers will have access to the full .8 dev platform.

I guess that Postnuke is the right choise of a C3MS... i wait all the time that be needed while study the Core code and get level to be a member of Development Team...

All the things that must be considered to develop that gigantic and powerfull CMS, take time to clarify and order the code... i undestand and want to develop too..

it will be in a time...

Do you think is it still valid? Do you plan to release at least new development update?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Final probably won't happen this year, but MS3 is due shortly. Depending on the progress in the upgrade of older PN versions, RC1 will be released.

Personally I am on top of the Dev Update, will be released this week.

To finalize and stabilize the last MileStone release (and to offer a first release candidate as soon as possible), we need you (the community) to test the current codebase. Install and uninstall all available modules, create users, play with hooks, create and use themes, develop modules, and so on.

I have a milestone 2 somewhere, can I just overwrite everything? I'm happy to help, but I don't have the time to read all the readme files [if there are any]

Thx in advance

You could try that.

Backup codebase and DB
delete all your files
copy latest SVN export in place
set correct file permissions on pnTemp dirs and empty cached / compiled dirs
edit the new config/config.php to read your current settings, i.e. all the
Code
$PNConfig['DBInfo']['default']
lines

Then first run upgrade.php before invoking anything. This should work as expected, but no guarantees of course...

Guys,
It's not funny at all. Never ending promisses. Can anybody guarantee that PN 0.8 will appear before Feb 15?

SzybkiStefanPL, it will be released within 8 days lolz... Jk
I read the entire topic and you kept repeating the same question over and over again. There isn't anything wrong with that but to just clarify and restate what was mentioned by many of the Dev's. It will be released within several months. Meaning 2-3 months. But, since the starting of this topic. It's been 4 months, which is indicated hypothetically the next release will be soon. (or it should be soon) ;)

Also, since you are too curious about API compliant and creating modules; a solution was given already for that in one of the above posts. So, you don't have to wait for the .8 release and can start working on your project.
