 __CVS branch R2__ (versions 2 of Bitweaver) is also available. While many version 2 live sites are being updated directly from CVS (mainly the ones that the developers are running), you need to do extensive testing after an upgrade. An alternative to CVS are weekly builds in [http://bitweaver.org/builds]. It's an advantage to monitor changes via IRC, if you plan on running your site off CVS in the sense of frequently updating your code to the most recent.
 
-__Final releases__ (versions) are made from the code in CVS after extensive testing and debugging (unlike weekly builds). For the highest quality, this process of coding, testing, and releasing takes several months between versions of Bitweaver. See also [http://www.bitweaver.org/articles/102|Help Wanted].

 !! I created a custom module and when I inserted it into the layout, the site died.
 This only happens with Bitweaver version 1.3.x and below. The problems are syntax errors when saving a custom module. The data submitted goes to the database table ''tiki_user_modules'', column ''data''. The data of the culprit module has to be edited/removed manually.
 
-!! Cannot upload files larger than 8MB
-This is caused by your php.ini configuration. To get it to accept files larger than that php.ini must be configured. The upload_max_filesize, memory_limit, and post_max_size variables should be equal, at minimum, to the size of the file you'd like to upload. The memory_limit may need to be set even larger than the size of your file.
