Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.7.0-alpha

Friday, January 7th, 2011

After more than 2 weeks of work during my holidays the first release of phpMyFAQ 2.7 is really close. The main work on the new layout is done and you’ll be surprised how phpMyFAQ 2.7 will look like. It’ll be an alpha release and not all functionality will be implemented, even some current features are disabled. So far we changed PHP requirement to PHP 5.2.3 and dropped support for MySQL 4.1 database and for Internet Explorer 6. The major user-visible change will be the new HTML5/CSS3 powered frontend default layout and administration backend with a lot of usability improvements.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.8, 2.7.0-alpha and 3.0.0-dev

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

This week we branched the new 2.7 branch from the current stable 2.6 branch. 2.7.0 will be the next major version of phpMyFAQ with a focus on a brand new user interface and some social improvements like better Facebook and Twitter integration. We changed the minimal PHP version for phpMyFAQ 2.7 to PHP 5.2.3. The current master branch was re-versioned to 3.0.0-dev and will need PHP 5.3, but it will take more than a year before you can see something here.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.7

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Some parts of the phpMyFAQ codebase are quite old because phpMyFAQ is almost 10 years old. Currently I’m working on the refactoring of the search component which hopefully will be part of phpMyFAQ 2.6.7. You maybe ask why I do this in the stable version and not in the master branch? The answer is quite simple: my spare time is limited so I will concentrate the next weeks and months on improve the 2.6 code base which will also be merged into the master branch for phpMyFAQ 2.7 and later.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.4 / 2.7.0-alpha

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

The last couple of days I fixed some minor bugs in the 2.6 and 2.7 code base. I have to work a lot during my daily work and so the development of phpMyFAQ 2.7 slowed down. Today I added the experimental support for Microsofts SQL Server Driver for PHP which will reduce some problems with the old PHP MS SQL Server driver. We’ll release this new driver support with phpMyFAQ 2.6.4 the next days.

Back from holidays…

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

After 4 great weeks I returned last friday from my Australia trip. I already fixed some issues reported the last weeks and I thought about the next 2.7 release. I think it won’t be released in summer as I planned because a lot of things are still not implemented and currently I do not have the time to work as much as I want to for phpMyFAQ. More news on the 2.7 release time the next weeks…

Thoughts about a new layout in phpMyFAQ 2.7

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The last couple of months I thought about a new layout for phpMyFAQ. After Anatoliy’s work on the user-specific templates I decided to re-work the whole design of phpMyFAQ. We will re-work the whole layout, the XHTML and the CSS so that easier and more flexible layouts are possible. We will use a CSS framework for that, too. Together with the final release of phpMyFAQ 2.7 we will also provide more designs for 2.0 and 2.5/2.6 based layouts.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.5.7 / 2.6.1 / 2.7.0-alpha

Friday, January 15th, 2010

This week was very good. We released phpMyFAQ 2.6 and got a lot of feedback after more than 1,000 downloads within the first 36 hours. Due to the big amount of feedback we also received a number of bugreports. We already fixed a lot of them, so expect a 2.6.1 the next two weeks. We also try to release a 2.5.7 maintainance release for phpMyFAQ 2.5 installations. phpMyFAQ 2.7 is under heavy development and currently very unstable because the changed already the complete category code base.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.5.7 / 2.6.0

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
