As you can see I am a new member of the site, but I have been and old LDU and Seditio user.

I have a few simple questions that I would like answered,

    1. When is Siena going to be released?
    2. When is Renaissance 1.0.0 going to be released?
    3. I was reading on the site... and well, on one of the pages I think I read that when Reinaissance launches there are going to be major changes to the core. Basically I was wondering, if I make a plugin now, would it work when Reinaisssance is released?


As for my first two questions I am not looking for an specific date, but more like general statement.


Thanks in advance!

P.S: Sorry if this question has been answered before, I did some searches, but I could not find what I was looking for.

Hello and welcome to Cotonti! I'll answer your questions in short

  1. Siena is currently in active development state and we'll try hard to release it in March. But this may change, depending on how much time we'll be able to spend for it.
  2. There is no clear deadline for 1.0, because we implement its features gradually with every major release. So 1.0 comes "when it's ready".
  3. The plugin/module API is going to be changed a bit by 1.0 (most probably earlier in 0.9). The changes are not very dramatic and we will provide documentation and migration tools as well. So if you make a plugin now, you can be sure it will take you about 5-15 minutes to upgrade it for 1.0.
May the Source be with you!

Thanks for the fast reply, I was most concerned with the 3rd question. As for the first two I was just wondering about them.
