Ok i thought i should share this with you guys.
I am delaying the V2.0 update,...... for good reasons ofc.I am planning on doing some major changes for modernization the development process.
There is nothing wrong with how the site is being developed right now, the code written for the site is simple, but it was never meant for huge projects.
At first MusicBee website project was started as simple makeover of the old site(i mentioned this quite a long time ago), but then it started to grow rapidly.
There are two custom built CMS(admin panel, dashboard panel) and a lots of other things that made it possible. I was already making changes in preparation for this huge change.
Current code base is now big and adding features sometime breaks other features(ofc you guys hardly see that since i always test the whole site after any changes), this is getting tedious.
What i am trying to do with this modernization is to introduce much more better and modern workflow/tools which will hugely benefit me(not so much for you guys though
).
This will allow me to automate testing, introducing new features easily.
Now as i said i was preparing for this already after v1.0 release. And i was actually planning to silently make this changes under the hood for v2.5 or so.
But since v2.0 is nearly complete and instead of releasing it now and do another huge change after few months i am going to make ONE SINGLE huge update.
The decision was made to reduce any bugs and also fixing them while preparing for the next release.
sorry for this delay. It should take approximately a month or two before it is final.
This update will have a revamped home page layout(current one is ok, but it needs some improvement),
and other features or bug fixes that is already done.
This update is only for the main site not the forum. Forum update should be in 1 week after i implement some features hiccup asked for and tested them.
