What we are up to..
Occasionally you have to take a step back and make sure you are moving in the right direction. We are quite happy with the current feature set in the maker. The latest 0.9 release provides a solid set of tools for web-development. However, the next release will have a lot of improvements. We greatly improved easy of use and speed. The biggest changes are "under the hood". About 70 % of the code has been re-written or re-structured. This is giving us a huge advantage as it will be possible to implement new features in less time. Overall the code is more maintainable which means that bugs will be fixed sooner.
Shape of things to come..
We expect version 1.0 of the Maker to be released around the end of this summer. Feature complete and production ready. So watch this space... not much may appear to be happening on the surface, but believe us, it's full steam ahead.
The new manual
As part of the 1.0 release, a manual is being produced which will include many tips and tricks including how to integrate database driven sites, generate your own templates or convert templates from third party sources. There will also be a section on how to include AJAX features using javascript libraries like JQuery.
