Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Same problem here. A release candidate in non-Textpattern terms is a feature complete version. In this case we are looking at a RC3 which is very different from a RC1, with one feature still to be added (and then tested), with currently nine open tickets that have not changed for a few days.
There is no commitment to a release date, so it may be the end of the month, but it may as well be the end of the year.

You can download it with SVN, it’s quite simple. Two mouse click if you are on Windows with Tortoise SVN.

I’m in the same position. The end-2004 delay was… hard to understand, but since RC3 release everything went quite smoothly. Bugs are corrected quite regulary.

Again, there are still bugs in the present Release Candidate. It take time to pinpoint them down, and time to correct them.

and had wget and release v158 downloaded in under 10 minutes.
Who said it was difficult?
Now to get my website up…

Dean, Zem and Kursor have done a great job and we all should really support them.
All the kind words in this thread are a great feedback although the three of them have to buy cheese in real life :)
What do you think?

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
it’s a way to easily install scripts (point and click) commonly with cpanel (your host provides it, it’s a control panel). I’d ask them if they’ll include it, and even if they do your host needs to upgrade.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Well not all hosts provide Cpanel. On all the hosts I’ve used so far, in fact, none provided it.
I don’t know if it impact the common distribution, maybe it’s a choice for a parallel distribution ?
Apart from the config.php file needed by hand, and the deletion of two files, the TXP install is pretty simple, by hand (FTP or the like) or even smpler with shell access (or a shell gateway like PhpShell).

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Fantastico scripts are great. Several of the web hosts I have used have a Fantastico module – I found myself far more likely to try open source projects that had Fantastico installers – and normally i’m a sucker for punishment (installing apps manually).
I’ve never written a Fantastico script – no idea the learning curve involved – but it’s a great way to ‘promote’ TXP. at least if the documentation is in good order ;-)
