When will EE2.0 be released and are you going to release betas before the final stable versions?

I’ll take a shot in the dark here.  They’ll release it when it’s ready.  I believe the goal was Q3 of this year, but I doubt they know it themselves.  EE is quite a complex piece of work, which also makes development time very unpredictable.
However, I’m pretty sure we’ll see the release of all the new CI libraries first.  That way the CI community can debug, and EL knows that the core of their system is stable and bug free.

They were talking about giving information to add-on developers before release.  Don’t count on ever seeing a beta though.

Can we have ExpressionEngine 2 yet?

Nice 😊

How longs a piece of string?

strlen($a_piece_of_string);

Hmm, funny…

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined variable: a_piece_of_string

Very good,  :lol:

Would anyone like to wager that there will be some major changes to CI also. Considering the features in EE I would imagine they will need to use modules in some shape or form.

Ive got a funny feeling that EE will be a fork from CI 1.6.1 and continue that way and be rolled out in just one big ‘system’ dir.

But that being said I think we will all be suprised no matter what way they go 😛

EE2 will be out summer of 2008.  That’s what we’re aiming for.  Don’t try to pin me down for when in the summer, because the truth is that we don’t know.

Yes, there will be changes to CI, but I wouldn’t describe any of them as major, in fact most of them will just be enhancements.  Think for example of what’s already been released into CI, extensible helpers, better UTF support, a more robust active record library, helper/library enhancements.  EE2 will (and currently is) running off of an almost stock CI codebase.  The changes that we do make will get rolled into CI, and we won’t make you “wait” for EE2 to get them, we’ll release them as soon as we feel they are mature and stable, and the code is up to the same level of quality as the rest of CI.

Hope that’s helpful.  If you want to learn a bit more here’s 2 links:
