When is the next version coming?

The one that uses that new red template like http://www.gamesnips.com/ ?

Just wondering if I should keep waiting or try to get something going with the current version?

I'm not talking about a specific date, but are we talking 2+ months or is it getting closer to just a few weeks?

Please let me know so I can decide on either waiting or starting. Thank you.

We will deffinitely have a new version out under a few months. We really haven't set any major deadlines lately, but that's because I haven't come up with a gameplan yet and written it down. I'll organize my ideas and write something out and hopefully we can start setting some goals and crossing things off the list. I've been procrastinating a lot lately, so I appologize for the lack of initiative these past few weeks. I'll try to blog about the development goals after I discuss with Ash what his plans are. For now I will say that Beta 8 should be out before the end of May, perhaps much sooner than that. I can't make any promises until we have a list of goals though.

And before I forget, gamesnips.com is using an older version of the mollio template. I found some errors with it in IE and we started over on it and fixed them. demo.pligg.com is a more up-to-date demonstration site, but right now the vote box is really messed up because I haven't worked out the css for the story area yet.

Hey Yankidank,

I appreciate the information, but could I suggest you guys release a small bug fix release to remedy the outstanding "big bugs" (like the RSS, Trackback, etc)

We dont need anything new, just the bugs fixed..

Thanks man

Does the latest 7.2 beta fix current known bugs? I'm wondering if 7.2 is stable enough to run a site off of. A site that I don't want to redo (upgrade pligg) in the next year or two. Should I wait for the final and if so, how soon are we talking?

The program is still in beta so by definition is not stable. Even if it were a stable release you may nevertheless need to upgrade if a bug is found or a security release is made. Why don't you want to upgrade? The process is pretty simply and shouldn't impact your site's skin (templates).
