Can't remember the details, but a lower version is fatal.
Found that out during a XOT reinstall.

Not sure when mysqli_* was fully formed… but we already don’t support under php 5.1 so if it was then then we should be fine… what do we do that requires 5.1+ anyway? Pat?

So we’ll end up with different code for 5.3+ and code for 5.3-?

The commonly used mysql_* functions are deprecated… we’ll need to change a lot of code to use mysqli_* for php 5.3+ support…

I would give 2.1 a miss as a number
Reasoning
A lot of the code is quite old and could do with a once over, spring clean
When writing the API we could make all the Ajax end points into API end points
MySQL is dying out in php 5.3 so bits of the install and the code will stop working
Make management side easier
Neaten up root, which is cluttered up now
I think bundling things like site details into site options makes sense as a bigger number change
Then we could have a more reliable framework for moving forward
Plugins / API end points / themes - so developers can easily add in new things without worrying about core

I think the community might be expecting .1 increments now… API will be done long before the HTML Wizard so it would be good to do incremental releases and we need
to sort out the sitedetails vs site_options horizontal/vertical database thing and do a small release…
If we wait until v3.0 then no one will update until then as there will have been no ‘BIG LAUNCH’ and instead of being 3 releases away (1.7-2.0) they will be further!!
>From memory we’ll have:
Stuff nearly there:
Plugins (soonish - hopefully)
App Store/Extend (almost there if not already)
API (soon)
Longer terms stuff:
HTML Wizard (3-6 months away at least)
Theme (?? Dunno)
Experience/Tin-Can API (6-12 months??)
Plus we have a lot of bugfixes in v2.0 since release – people won’t update unless they think they need to… but perhaps Tom could organize this to automate v2.0.1
etc and possibly even v2.1-9
Anyway… ramble over…

Best start new thread on this topic: what and when for 2.1?
With all the automated builds, it really helps – there isn’t so much of a need to push all the fixes into a release, so we could stick with 2.0 and think about 3.0, which would
be:
-
API
-
HTML Wizard
-
New theme / branding / look and feel (we’ve started looking at this)
-
+?
But there is a lot of work in there…
Thoughts?
