Is that Mobile view iPhone only or will the windows mobile users amongst us also be able to use it?
I still prefer my HTC Leo to the iPhone Other than that question it's looking good

Hi Tokolosh,

No iPhone or Windows Mobile version yet... See this thread

oh ok thanks, must of missed that post

I was just wondering if Peter or anyone else from the ClearOS team would mind giving us an end of year update on ClearOS 6?

I know it depends on CentOS 6 being ready which isn't yet of course but there's also a lot of new stuff in ClearOS 6 like a complete rewrite of the webconfig backend so just wondering if you might be able to get a release out soon after CentOS 6 is available or if that's a tall order.

ClearOS fans would love to know

That's what I'll be working on today! Keep an eye on the home page and I'll post something here in this forum thread as well.

Hi all,

I just started a new thread for the 6.0 Developer Release -- click here

Our hope is to have ClearOS 6.0 ready to ship 3-4 months after the release of CentOS 6. The CentOS release date is still an unknown, but I don't expect it to be much later than February 1. BTW, that's just a gut feel and not some inside knowledge leaking out!

Its Feb 1...yay!!!! Where is the new version?!?!?

I am just kidding!!! I've been watching this thread for months waiting to see how y'all cook up the new one...looking forward to it. Keep up the great work!

Here's the ClearOS 6.0 update for February 1!

CentOS Update

The CentOS 5.6 release bumped the priority on CentOS 6.0, but that's not really slowing us down too much. It does make it more difficult to push out an easy-to-install developer environment.

Framework Update

We have pretty much nailed down a good chunk of the framework. Some highlights:

- The CodeIgniter engine including ClearOS tweaks is set. That was good timing - CodeIgniter 2.0.0 was released just a few days ago.

- The base and network application stacks are nearing completion (most apps require one or both of these stacks).

- The theming engine is ready for the design team. The hand-off will occur this week.

- The coding standards are set including a tool (PHP CodeSniffer) to check for issues.

- The unit testing framework (PHPUnit) has been integrated.


The current gaps:

- The widget set will be updated once the design team has some time to play with the theming engine. Things like "dashboard" and "chart" widgets will be added.

- The User/Group/Directory stack is still a work in progress. There's a lot of back and forth that needs to be done between yours truly and the LDAP experts.

- Ajax/Javascript is a bit of a wild west, but that's what we're expecting in 6.x.

- Developer documentation is still a work in progress.

Developer / Rolling Alpha Release

Judging by the recent forum comments, it looks like there are quite a few people interested in jumping in even with half-completed developer documentation! Let me finish off the rolling alpha install notes this week and those who are interested can jump right in. Maybe it would be a good idea to dust off my IRC client for a few weeks

Bottom line: most of the groundwork is now in place. By next week, we should be hammering out a webconfig page or two every day. There will be a bit of a pause to re-evaluate progress and integrate new widget sets, and then the push to complete the 6.0 feature set will continue at full throttle. We'll also get some of the "hard" RPM packaging done so we can be as ready as possible when CentOS 6.0 hits the wire.

That's pretty cool....look forward to seeing it!
