Hello folks, In my last email, which I sent almost one year ago, I was talking about my relocation to Poland. Well, I have been living here in Warsaw for 9 months now, and as expected, there has been much work ! I hardly had time to answer a few questions, bug reports, feature and support requests... But I finally had a few hours to dedicate to SPGM, trying to flush those open posts, and there comes last version : 1.4.5 This is a maintenance release providing various bug fixes and small features. People who want to upgrade should pay attention to the release notes, as spgm.conf and spgm.thm files must be updated as well. See http://spgm.sourceforge.net/?lg=us&id=changelog for more details. Here is a little summary about where things are... For the last months of 2005, I had been working on a complete rewrite of SPGM. The design was over and the first hundreds of code lines were written. PHP5 was the target language, as I wanted to leverage its object-oriented capabilities to implement this new design. But today, I still do not intend the script to require PHP5. Yet, I would like to offer the main predicted features (amongst which real template and plugin support). So my task for the weeks to come will be to tend to the new architecture using PHP4. Hence, SPGM 2.0 is still in progress, and will eventually be a PHP4 application. I have also decided to temporarily give the Google adSense program a try, to compensate in a way the significantly growing amount of support requests. In a few weeks from now, I will decide to stick with it or not... Till next time, I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year ! Sylvain |
