They are waiting to be merged to trunk, but sadly flo is currently hit by the real life. He will do it as soon as he finds a small timeframe for doing it.

For the next major-version (1.4, which is the version 1.3 while we develop it) CHTEKK and I are working on the splitting of languagesfiles. 1.4 will be completely modular, so we must divide every single languagefile into approx. 19 different files. This is very time-consuming but will result in a more easy handling, since 1.4 will have a languageeditor included, where anyone can edit the languagesfiles directly inside SysCP (it will be deactivated by default, so don't worry if you are happy with the delivered languages). The modules now have version-numbers and dependencies, which are working really well (CHTEKK has implemented the backend-handling, I wrote the frontend). After the languagesplitting is done, we want to do the following two things:

• Convert SysCP to a new database-layout with propel
• Implement the first version of a vServer - management (basic work is done with the xml-rpc - handler)

The last thing I want to talk about is the near future of our website. As flo mentioned in the last post, the current apache-server has a few issues with mod_python and is down really often, so we have to restart it manually. I'm currently working on a new server-setup based on gentoo / lighttpd / fastcgi, if this setup works in testenvironment, we'll move to it rather soon. We are thinking about a new design of the website, the blog and perhaps even the community-forum, to make them more useable. Sometimes we are experimenting with designs on the live-environment (yes, we want all people to see, that we are heavy working on improvements ;) ), so don't be too shocked if the design looks messy from time to time. We'll keep you informed on this blog.

That's it for the moment, prepare for regular posts on these topics in the future ;)

So long,
Florian (EleRas)
