After way too much time in the cooker OpenInteract 2.0 beta 4 (1.99_04) has been released to CPAN. Major changes in this release include:
* OI2 supports localized applications using Locale::Maketext and some glue to make the process work smoothly. Display/template text for all packages shipped with OI2 has been parsed into message keys but other text (error messages in particular) is still to come.
* You can migrate data from a 1.x install fairly easily, modifying it as you go. This includes hooks to move data from your custom 1.x applications as well.
* Apps 'comments' and 'whats_new' were modified from OI 1.x and are now included with the main distribution.
* Initial support for Apache2/mod_perl2 is included but it's likely a bit dodgy.
Plus there were massive amounts of refactorings, rewritings, clarifications,
documentation improvements and more.
The plan is that the next release should be the first (and hopefully only) release candidate. After that hopefully 2.0 final can be released in June/July, around the YAPC::NA tutorial on building applications with OI2.
Thanks!
Chris
