Hi all, sorry for the delay with the 2.11 release - the discussion and planning of workflow, fixing bugs, improving documentation and deciding how stuff should work has slowed things down somewhat (as has my lack of time due to moving jobs, and going on a much needed holiday).
Fortunately we have managed to get done now a lot of work that could have been worse if we had left it until later. One of the advantages of open source is that as well as releasing often and early we can continue working on a significant release until we are happy with it rather than shipping something without the advertised features or with significant breakage or problems. Maypole users waiting for the next version may well be wondering what has been happening - if you check the changelog and SVN you will see a great deal of work that has required that the developers totally grok the maypole internals - essentially we have had no choice but to go in and work on stuff we didn't previously fully understand, rather than chipping away at the edges. Significant improvements in the documentation have been made and these have shown problems or lack of clarity or conistency in the application that we feel the need to fix rather than leave. I have also taken on the significant task for re-engineering the CDBI model and how forms are handled based on the custom code and feedback from the developers, list and wiki. That is a considerable piece of work to fit into a relatively small amount of free time, especially when having a blank canvas in some areas of the API. So in all.. yes 2.11 is later than I said (again), but it will kick ass! The documentation is far more complete, form handling will be painless and productive, workflow will no longer involve (as much) black magic. Our new configuration options, request methods and model methods will make the catalyst kids green with envy ;) Thanks for your patience and feedback - please continue to provide both in as much as you can spare.
