I am happy to announce the first beta of OpenInteract 2.0, 1.99_00. This is a major rewrite of the OpenInteract web application framework with substantial feature enhancements. A few highlights: * Runs under more environments than Apache/mod_perl 1.x since the request and response responsibilities are divided up * No separate repository of packages, each website stands on its own * Task-oriented management framework to make creating websites, creating and installing packages, installing SQL and other jobs much easier. * An app server no longer demands your full URL-space so you can deploy it under a location (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/OI2/) and have all actions respond and rewrite URLs properly. * Lots of changes to make package development easier. While it should be a fairly solid release this is still a beta. It's only been tested on a couple of databases, only on Linux and on 5.8.0. It should still work on the same systems as OI 1.x but there's always that X factor... OpenInteract 1.99_00 has been released to both CPAN and the Sourceforge area [1]. You can browse the full (and growing) set of documentation online [2] and follow the status at the OpenInteract wiki site [3]. I'd love to talk with people at YAPC::NA about OI2 and would be happy to initiate a BOF if there's enough interest. Thanks!
