News from Campsite Website

We're eager to get testing done on this release, so go and install your RC2 release today! Click here to go to our SourceForge page. Campsite 3.0.0 RC2 should run on any operating system that runs PHP and MySQL, including Linux, Windows, Macs and BSD variants. And if it doesn't, we need bug reports!

The current 'to-do' list for the 3.0 release includes:

• More bug fixes
  
• Update the sample packages
• Finish the test cases
• Finish the manual

The Campsite 3.0.0 RC2 package contains some sample templates together with the corresponding database which you can install by following the steps in the INSTALL file. (Newbie Windows users: Try opening the INSTALL file with Notepad or Wordpad).

Unlike the 2.2-2.7 versions, Campsite 3.0 does not support multiple instances anymore. This means that for each instance you want to run you have to install Campsite in a new virtual host.

The install process is much simpler and the dependencies are much fewer: we removed the C++ code so every dependency related to it vanished. No more compiling :)

The APC (Alternative PHP Cache) dependency was removed in the beta2 version for Windows testers.

We're looking forward to getting user feedback, so please get involved in the Campsite community. Check the Campsite support forum or join our mailing list for more info.
