StatusNet 1.0.0: It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Submitted by Evan Prodromou on Fri, 09/30/2011 - 15:29

I'm pleased to announce that StatusNet 1.0.0 has just gone golden. We've released the 1.0.0 version for download, and it's running now on all StatusNet cloud systems.

This is by far the biggest change to StatusNet since its inception. Notable changes include:

With the upgrade of our StatusNet cloud sites, including Identi.ca, to the 1.0.0 version of StatusNet, we've come one step closer to a 1.0.0 release. The new version of the software, 1.0.0rc1, is available for download. Please, take it for a test spin and report any issues in our issue tracker.

We feel ready! We've been working on StatusNet 1.0 for more than a year, with the first alpha and beta release happening earlier this summer. We've done bug-squashing and hacking and GSoC, and we think it's ready to go.

Because there are major changes to the data structures, we'll be doing a significant amount of downtime over the weekend, starting Friday 9/16 at 1PM EDT. Our expectation is to be back online by Monday morning EDT.
