Now that PHPFusion is running steady again, we are starting to take ideas on board for the next release. I have already made an effort to make PHPFusion work with MySQL 5, which was a priority for me. I will probably release an update before the next release to deal with this issue. Developers should be sure to use full inserts in any mods or infusions to ensure compatibility with MySQL 5. We know that PHPFusion works perfectly under PHP 5 on Apache or IIS 5/6, so we're comfortable there.
I'm looking at ways in which we can simplify certain areas, one of them beingthe theme engine. I've developed a prototype which could make the creation of themes a heck of a lot easier. I feel that some elements in the current theme.php can be confusing to the average user. Don't panic, all existing themes will work fine as they are, this idea is an addition to the current method.
Whilst all ideas are taken seriously I do want to reiterate that I have no desire to over-develop PHPFusion, many other systems fall into this trap and personally I think it would be a tragedy to see PHPFusion lose the simplicity I yearned for when the project began. Thanks to everyone for making the PHPFusion such a warm and friendly community, long may it continue
