I setup the new domain name for the High School Reunion site, as you can see. The new domain is http://highschoolreuni.com. It might seem weird, but I got the idea when I tried to register “highschoolreunion” on twitter and it got truncated to “highschoolreuni”. The domain name was available so I got it and set it up as the new domain. The old domain, http://hsr.joshbetz.org, is set as a permanent redirect to the new one.
If you’ve seen the “Docs” button on the menu bar recently. If you were wondering why it didn’t go anywhere, I was in the process of installing the documentation wiki and had a few more problems than I thought there would be. Thankfully I’ve gotten that taken care of now and the wiki setup is done.
I will start to get it setup and make the link live shortly.
I am proud to announce that High School Reunion 0.8 is now publicly available. This release includes a few new features and a bunch of bug fixes. You won’t notice a big visual change, but the building blocks are put in place to make the next couple of releases big. Some of the changes include:
Download Link: High School Reunion 0.8
As we release HSR 0.8 to the public, I’d like to share some notes about what’s going on for the rest of this year.
Right now I’m working on getting the website finished. It’s been about 92% finished for 9 months now and it’s time to finish it up. I’m going to get the blog layout done very soon. Something that I am very excited about is the new documentation wiki.
It’s easy to see that I haven’t kept up with documentation nearly as well as I would have liked. My goal is to have a short README packaged with the download, just enough to explain the installation with a link to the online documentation. Then, online I want everything to be documented. Every function will have it’s place. With the next version I hope to have some more theme functions.
With this next three or four weeks I’m going to get the blog design setup and get the wiki setup with a good start on it. The next point release is already in development and will hopefully be available at that time as well, with the next major release coming at the end of the summer.
As the days wind down to the 0.9 release, there are a few things that I’d like to announce.
First of all, the trac site now allows anybody to create a ticket. This would be a great way to request new features. Go check it out, but be careful, as I’ve implemented a spam catcher, so I don’t have to hire somebody to sift through the spam. I’d love to get feedback though.
Second, we now have a twitter account. “HSR” was already taken so I went for “highschoolreunion”, but it looks like they truncated it to “highschoolreuni”. I kind of like it, so I’m not going to complain. So follow “highschoolreuni” to get all the updates. I’m going to try to see if I can get it to automatically update when I commit to the svn repository, but we’ll see.
