Code Spaces V2.0 – delays and excuses!

First off, please accept our apologies for the delays with version 2.0, its really frustrating for all concerned especially us!

Excuses!

v2.0 is proving much more difficult to roll out than we ever though, so much so that we have decided to employ the services of an expert who will help us write some scripts to automate a lot of the problematic operations.

What does this mean for the release date?

As we are already nearly a month late, it seems a little inappropriate to make further promises about release dates, therefor we are going to aim to do the release in several steps, each step will include a piece of the v2.0 puzzle until the release is complete.

It will take some development effort to split the release up like this however i would expect to see that done this week, after that we will aim for 3 individual releases over 3 weekend with the final one representing a complete install of v2.0. Based on this we are looking at an end of april release.

I will keep you informed via this blog about our progress.

Code Spaces v2.0 – New Release Date

The Code Spaces version 2.0 release has been delayed again for two reasons:

  1. Floyd 3.0 arrived on Sunday morning!
  2. Upgrading our MySql configuration to include a cluster of database servers, isn’t working as expected, We will be getting some support from mysql next week.

I/we can only apologies for the delay, as I know many of you are keen to use the new features.

The new release date is Sunday 23nd March 2008 (about 2 weeks), this gives us two weeks of database upgrade testing, and a free weekend to do some work on the production environment in preparation for the release.

Code Spaces v2.0 – Slight Delay!

Code Spaces v2.0 was scheduled to be promoted to the production environment over the weekend however a few technical difficulties caused us to miss the time slot we have planned for.

As a result we had to roll back the deployment and will be rearranging the deployment for next weekend.

I will post further details on this blog, closer to the weekend.
