Greetings!
While I’ve been busy Y2K-fixing some of our old Unix servers,
the Midgard project has still been advancing in a very nice pace.
The amount of interesting threads on the mailing list has been
increasing, as has the number of people contributing to Midgard one
way or another.
The last two weeks have been a bit slow on news as people have
been busy working on Midgard 2 and other related projects. However,
there are still some things to mention here.
Current versions:
Stable: 1.2.5 (Mad King)
Devel.: 1.3
Requirements for Midgard 2 release
There has been some discussion on what features will need to be
included in the first actual Midgard 2 release.
Mostly this will include the major features we’ve talked about –
ODBC support, packaging and better access control. However, it is
also viewed as very important to have at least some actual
documentation available at that point.
This discussion is now of some importance as the Midgard 2 core
will be hitting alpha soon. More information on how we view the
features in Midgard 2 can be found from the mailing list
archives:

Midgard and Oracle
While everybody is waiting eagerly for the Midgard 2 release, it
seems that we might still see Oracle support in the Midgard 1.x
architecture.
Jean-Pierre Arneodo from Initiative Internet has announced that
they have a team working on this and plan to release the new
interface under GPL.
If you are interested in the project, please contact Jean-Pierre
directly.

Russian Midgard uploaded
Alexander Bokovoy’s Russian Midgard package has been uploaded to
the download area of Midgard’s site. It is also now an official
part of the Midgard releases.
The package also includes some fixes to the Admin site that have
to do with using Admin site on a prefixed Midgard host (ie. a host
that resides in a subdirectory of another site).
Future developments of Russian Midgard and other things related
to i18n will now take place in Midgard’s CVS repository.
