Good point. It would be beneficial to have a simple features list for each version (not including the technical one in the bug tracker).
Um.... lets see. In 6.x FarCry introduced jQuery, jQuery UI, and a ton of related plugins. It also introduced image manipulation built into the CMS (specifically when using formtools). And in later versions (like 6.0.9 or something) it introduced even better image tools like jCrop and ajax auto-upload and processing of images. I'm sure there are a ton others (like combine - which, although is a really awesome feature and helps tremendously with site performance, it's not exactly a hard seller with clients. Personally I think it was one of the best small features added to 6.x). Now that 6.1 is officially released its major feature is database precision in the CMS's ORM as well as easier type and rule deployment and changes from within the webtop (6.1 doesn't have many features for the end-user, it was more of a necessity for developers). There is plenty more that I'm missing, so I do agree that it would be nice to have high-level feature lists for each version listed somewhere that people can reference (and that aren't in a technical fashion like the bug tracker - which also has some features mistakenly categorized as bugs anyway) -- Jeff Coughlin On Aug 17, 2011, at 8:43 AM, James Buckingham wrote: > Hiya, > > I'm currently trying to plan our migration from version 5-2-3 up to, > hopefully, the latest Core release. > > Conversation amongst users has been that the upgrades gives them certain new > functionality but a lot of this doesn't seem to be concrete fact - from what > I've been trying to look up anyway :-). > > I was wondering if there is any kind of formal list of features for each > release?
