Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's going on this week (in order of occurrence):
New Forums
The forums software is moving from SMF to IP.Board. SMF has been very good to us, but with ProcessWire growing quickly we figured it would be a good time to take the forums to the next level. IP.Board will give us a lot more capabilities than we currently have, while maintaining the same ease of use.
I looked at a test version setup by Pete, and I think you guys are going to love it. All of your existing login info will stay the same and all the posts will carry over, etc. It's possible you may lose your profile pic, in which case you'll need to replace it.
This change might take place as soon as today, but we haven't decided for sure yet. Let me know if you run into any bugs or issues with the new system once we're up and running.
Going live with ProcessWire 2.2
I'm going to be merging the ProcessWire 2.2 source into the stable branch (P21 master) this week. The optional LanguageSupport modules that come with it will still be considered beta.
If you are tracking the source with Git, then the PW 2.2 update will come in automatically. If you are downloading the ZIP, then you'll just need to replace your existing /wire/ directory and /index.php file in order to apply the update.
PW 2.2 now includes a "page-create" permission on the Templates > Edit Template > Access tab. If you are making use of any non-superuser roles that are able to edit pages, you will need to check the box on any relevant templates to add page-create permission for them. To word it differently, ProcessWire now wants you to tell it which templates a given role is allowed to use when creating a new page. If you don't do anything, than any non-superuser roles that can currently create pages won't be able to until you give them that page-create permission on at least one template. Please let me know if I can provide any more detail here, and I'm happy to assist anyone individually with this too.
We won't put out a press release or officially announce ProcessWire 2.2 until the LanguageSupport modules are out of beta and we have some other promotional materials ready. But I don't see any reason to delay making PW 2.2 the stable branch in the source code.
