Richard keeps enhancing XOOPS 2.6.0 in a way that will be very beneficial to our users and our developers!

Those of you who don't follow XOOPS 2.6.0 development on GitHub, you have probably missed the recent commit from Richard, but since it is significant for us, I just wanted to make you aware of it:

https://github.com/XOOPS/XoopsCore/pull/91

This is the start of integrating Assetic into XOOPS 2.6.0:

Quote:
Richard is working on some documentation for it, so you can see in more details the XOOPS implementation.

Why is Assetic important?

With Assetic, you can manipulate your assets such CSS, JavaScript and image files however you want (or load them from anywhere) before serving them. This means you can:

- Minify and combine all of your CSS and JS files
- Run all (or just some) of your CSS or JS files through some sort of compiler, such as LESS, SASS or CoffeeScript
- Run image optimizations on your images

The possibilities are enormous for us...

There is plenty of information on the Web about Assetic, so check it out to learn more about it. A good start is the presentation "Introducing Assetic: Asset Management for PHP 5.3"

And soon we'll have a Richard's presentation talking about the XOOPS integration!

Congratulations!
This is a step to the right direction.

Greate work, thanks

I knew that you would like that!

Please help us by doing following:

The key is that you guys test it and provide feedback early! The worst thing is ALWAYS when we don't hear anything during Alpha, Beta, and RC releases, and only AFTER we release the Final version, that we hear from people about something being wrong, or that they would like to something added.

We want XOOPS 2.6.0 to be the best ever, but we need your help to get there!

And yes, there will be more cool things coming

If anybody is not familiar how GitHub version control works, please let us know. But there are tons of tutorials on the Internet, so you should be able to figure that out quickly.

Yes, there are some very cool things coming to Xoops...

This and the Service Manager are big upgrades. The addition of the Service manager has me rethinking some of my projects because they just became much simpler.

Yes, Service Manager is also a big thing, but there will be a separate news about it

Yes, XOOPS is getting better and better!
