Joom!Fish

As already mentioned lately in some other reports the Joom!Fish 2.0 Release Candidate got quite good feedback and positive response from our user base. Some minor issues had been found in the extension and some more inconvenient once in the migration ... [More] of old Joomla 1.0 sites. Based on the tracker information we will fix the confirmed issues during the next two weeks and look forward releaseing the stable version after that peroid. In order to make sure that all your major issues are covered we kindly ask you to review the tracker and make sure that all your issues are added there. If you have already a thread in the forum it is totally acceptable to just create a new item and refer to the thread in the forum. The forum is the far better place to discuss about the topics. After the stable release of Joom!Fish 2.0 we will head to a 2.1 version pretty soon. Based on this outlook we have no necessity to try to squeeze any reported issue into this final version. This is why we ask for your understanding that we will make sure that priority 1 and 2 bugs are fixed in the stable release. Priority 3 and more bugs will be solved in 2.1 or patches in between. We like to point out that we will follow our defined product live cycle and with the stable release of Joom!Fish 2.0 we will only provide security updates for the 1.8.x series. Joom!Fish 1.x will not be supported any longer than 12 month from the stable release of 2.0. We highly recommend the upgrade of your existing Joomla! 1.0 Joom!Fish 1.8 installations to the latest version. [Less]

It's been 2 weeks since we released the Joom!Fish 2.0 RC in public. On our default download location more than 10.000 downloads have been provided since. The feedback we get is pretty cool and already several sites use the system in a pre productive ... [More] phase. What is even more positive is the fact that we have less than 10 bugs reported. Most of the issues are related to the caching system of Joomla! that still has some general issues which are reported for Joomla! 1.5 as well. In order to take care of these issues we decided to integrate a new logic caching the translations in the database and not in the file system. Most of the other issues are easily fixed. Saying so, we are very close to the stable version of Joom!Fish and we expect the release in time. The preparation phase for the Club Members will start soon and short after we will release the stable version to the public. We like to thank all our users, contributors and donors for the help and confidence in the project. [Less]
