Hi Folks,

some days passed since I wrote about the installer. I worked a lot on the code and with the initial help of Ingo Rennder the code is now PHP5. Beside the checks that will runbefore installation, you won't even be able to start the installation with PHP4 anymore.

I heard some ranting about this decision the last days, but I'm pretty sure that the most people will be happy about it somewhere in the future. ;-)

Anyway, you might be interested in the progress the installer makes. Well, I'm currently working on the backend module. It's now possible to load modules and save data via AJAX. This might sounds very boring but in fact it's a major milestone for the development because we are now able to bring back all the options, that are currently available. This means, we can basically replace the old installer in the next alpha release of TYPO3 if we get all the options into the code until then. But I think we'll make it.

Next big milestone will be the T3CON07 next week. I really hope we can show a well working installer next week. And with some luck we show a nice surprise. But I don't promise anything! :-D

Greets,

Thomas
