JRoller upgrade this weekend and Roller 1.0 plans

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

I think Roller 0.9.9 is ready for prime-time and I plan on deploying it to JRoller this weekend. I spent the last couple of nights testing the upgrade process using a very recent copy of the JRoller database and I believe that I will have all of the glitches worked out by this evening. I will post an announcement here a couple of hours before I begin the upgrade, which I hope will take less than an hour.

The plan is to upgrade JRoller to 0.9.9, get feedback and bug reports, fix bugs, release 0.9.9.1, get feedback and bug reports, fix bugs, release Roller 0.9.9.2, and then repeat the process until we are ready to declare victory. Once we reach that point, we'll call it Roller 1.0 and release it on SourceForge.

The major new features of Roller 1.0 will be a new Editor UI, hierarchical categories, hierarchical bookmark/blogroll folders with OPML import/export, Atom API support, Atom newsfeed support, a new look-and-feel in the Web interface, lots of other features, and numerous bug fixes. Some of these features may be disabled in the Roller 0.9.9 cut that I will deploy this weekend.
