Model-Glue 1.1 Release and 2.0 Alpha

I've been a little quiet on the Model-Glue front recently (life's been a bit busy!). 1.1 and 2.0 are both coming down the pipe, and I thought I should blog a bit about timing while a server reboots.

1.1 is code-complete, and has been scaled back (no "Headstart" template) to be primarily a maintenance release, with the only new features being the inclusion of ColdSpring support. For those using the current BER, you already have the 1.1 code. I'll be packaging and deploying the 1.1 zip file later this week.

The 2.0 alpha is near code complete. I've been experimenting with some far-reaching features and decided that the framework was going a bit far in terms of scope, so I'm scaling back some of what it was doing and concentrating on the core. I'll also be adding a bit of reverse-compatibility code to make it very easy to upgrade.

My plan is to release a private 2.0 alpha sometime in the next two weeks, giving particpants time to comment on it while I work on a Flex Derby entry.

If you would like to participate in the 2.0 alpha, please leave me a comment on this post. Those of you who've received the 2.0 design doc are already on the list.

Hi Joe, I'm just about to start playing around with MG - maybe it would be good to get some newbies testing the beta so that you can see how it fairs with us?

Id like to get in on the 2.0 alpha. I also am looking forward to getting my hands on the 1.1 release, as I am about to start a few projects that will be using MG.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I'd like to see 2.0, we are evaluating MG for next project.

Will the headstart template be in MG 2.0?

I'd really like the opportunity to evaluate 2.0. I'm just about to start playing around with MG and would be happy to work through the 2.0 Alpha.

Joe,
I have been working with Model-Glue for the past 5 months and following the blogs. I've found some really helpful examples from the community. Model-Glue just makes a lot of sense. I've have my MIS director really interested in implementing Model-Glue in the future for a framework. I'd love to test 2.0 alpha and give feedback.
