History of ReleaseOne
Version 29
Draft - Please comment & edit!!
(Note from spider: i have slimmed down this page so we can focus on getting a reasonable release out. See ReleaseFuture for all of our great ideas...)
The main goals of Clyde is to make the full transition to our modular architecture. Initially Clyde will ship with the following Packages:
- Core (kernel, categories, quicktags, utils, etc.)
- Blogs
- Wiki
- phpBB
- more packages will be added depending on community interest
This means initially Clyde will not support everything from the Bonnie codebase. An upgrade script is available, but not well tested. The extent to which that gets hammered out will depend on community interest. Ultimately, tikipro.org will be upgraded, so it will be at least be functional enough to upgrade a substantial site.
