   Some Midgard roadmapping

   Thu March 13 2008 11:50:04 UTC
   Hi, all
   
   I'm preparing a blog post on the roadmap for Midgard versions, but
   thought to first get some comments from here.
   
   Midgard versions roadmap:
   
   Baseline: Midgard 1.8, MidCOM 2.8 and PHP 5.2
   
   At least in our company we're trying to consolidate all customers to
   these version numbers. MidCOM 2.8 is a very capable (if heavy)
   platform that we will be able to support for a long time. It is also
   important, as...
   
   Next step: Midgard 1.9, MidCOM 2.9 and PHP 5.2
   
   Having consolidated sites to MidCOM 2.8 and PHP 5.2, it will be very
   easy to migrate to Midgard 1.9 (PHP4 not supported). While Midgard API
   changes somewhat (Exceptions, Midgard_Connection) between 1.8 and 1.9,
   MidCOM 2.9 (currently called "trunk") is able to hide that from site
   builders.
   
   Mid-term: Midgard 1.9, MidCOM 3.0 and PHP 5.2
   
   The main reasons to switch from Midgard 1.8 to Midgard 1.9 are
   performance, new installer and the ability to run MidCOM 3 alongside
   MidCOM 2.8. While MidCOM 3 requires complete site rewrite from
   2.8/2.9, this phase makes migrations and running sites with both
   versions on same server possible.
   
   Long-term: Midgard 2.0, MidCOM 3.0 and PHP 6
   
   Once a server has completely migrated from MidCOM 2.x sites onwards,
   it will be possible to make the final jump to the full new generation
   Midgard platform.
   
   Please comment

   +1
   Of course, 1.9 must be more 2.0 compatible.

   This needs review when we decide if to support apache module or PHP ini
   directives.
