JFusion Blog

Dear JFusion Users,

I am extremely proud to announce the release of JFusion 1.1.3 which has been made possible by an enourmous effort by the JFusion developers and the JFusion community providing feedback. Once again we prove that JFusion is the best supported and most developed Joomla bridge or integration software available.

Since we make huge improvements every 2 weeks, we decided to switch to a Joomla like numbering system as the "patch levels" do not indicate the many new features in every release. Therefore from now on all release will result in a number increase (1.1.4, 1.1.5, etc)

You can upgrade using the JFusion version checker in your Joomla admin JFusion component, or download it directly from the website. There is no need to uninstall previous versions, just install the latest version directly. Just remember to edit and save your JFusion plugins, menu items and modules after the upgrade to activate your new features.

With great pleasure I announce the next generation of JFusion. After three months and more than 400+ commits by 6 different programmers JFusion 1.1.2 RC is born.

There are a lot of features and bug fixes in the release. The number of bug fixes is too long to list therefore I will discuss the new features and improvements with you:

Gallery2 Support:  JFusion now support gallery2 thanks to the brilliant efforts of Christoph Pinkland. It supports many advanced features like frameless integration and usergroup sync.

I am pretty sure that you have been waiting for this Blog Post for quite sometime now. And as I have been saying for some time now, patience pays off. So let me get this done real quick. Here are the details of the release plan as we have come up with for the 1.1.2 RC1 release(Yep it will be our first RC and not a Beta);

Milestone 1(2009-03-20): Freezing features (developers start testing the code, no feature additions will take place hence forth)
Milestone 2(2009-03-25): Freezing code (The testers team starts testing the package, including clean install, update and usage. In the mean time developers repair bugs coming out of this in parallel)
Milestone 3(2009-04-01): Ending testphase, still time to debug for testers until
Milestone 4(2009-04-06): All stop, the HOD builds a test release package. All developers test this from now on, there may be new test packages if needed and features made inactive if they cannot be debugged in the given time frame. The HOD again builds a package at the end of this milestone with various bug fixes.
Milestone 5(2009-04-13): RC1 is released.

A special thanks to Henk for proposing this well planned out release plan! :)
