WicketPixie 1.2 Update: Beta 2 On It’s Way

UPDATE: So, RC1 is still a bit off (I don’t know why I said RC1, I guess I meant Beta 2). Anyways, you can download WicketPixie 1.2 Beta 2 on Ohloh. It’s very stable, as I’ve done something I haven’t with the 1.1 branch: Test, test, test.

So this blog has been pretty quiet the past few weeks, but do not worry, I am not dead yet.

I released Beta 1 of WicketPixie 1.2 over Ohloh a few days ago, and have been busy squashing bugs and adding features. Later today I hope to release RC1, which should be pretty bug-free. I will post a link to the download location on this post as well, so if you happen to read this post before that time comes, check back later.

The major changes in WicketPixie 1.2 include tons of bugfixes and performance improvements. I have totally written most of the theme and it’s features so that the code is cleaner and easier to debug and add new features to. There isn’t much to say about new features in 1.2, but I call the performance improvements the biggest feature. All the problems people have had with the 1.1 branch should be a thing of the past. Currently, I am working on adding the ability to add AdSense for Search to WicketPixie, so it will be a toggle in AdSense Settings.

I know WicketPixie 1.1 was a complete letdown, but I promise the 1.2 will change that.
