Zikula 1.0.2 has been released on the 10th of August - which has been 40 days ago. This article sheds some light on what is currently going on with the Zikula core. It describes the most important recent activities and gives a preview to what will happen next.
As you know we want to continue the shorter release cycles, so we are working heavily on the next versions.
Zikula 1.0.3 will be the next bugfix release and has already 38 closed tickets in the CoZi. There are 4 open tickets left, so this seems to be a quite good progress.
At the same time we are preparing Zikula 1.1.0 which will released together 1.0.3 as a cross-release. The 1.1.0 release contains all fixes from 1.0.3, but also several new features. Frank added the page init hooks allowing modules to execute functions during the page load which is very useful for modules like Referers or Stats. I merged the MailUsers functionality into the Users module. In addition there are enhancements for several value addons, like Feeds or Pages, as well as many smaller additions. At the moment we have closed 33 tickets in 1.1.0, while 14 are open.
So if you see both versions there are 18 tickets to do left now. After this cross-release 1.0.3 will get frozen (except for security fixes) and bugfixing will move to 1.1.1, giving us more time to focus on the 2.0 branch. There will be more activity now, as there are several structural changes to do in order to switch to full PHP5 support and object orientation. To get an impression about the coming changes please watch the ticket system in the CoZi.
