pouët.net

So yeah, we continued to work on it and we've reached the state where it is now ready for the champagne bottle. We'll pull the current Pouet down for migration on Wednesday, August 14, 18:00 CEST, and continue converting the database - it should take an hour or two depending on how fast the db is. When it comes back it'll be the all new db and code and all that, and hopefully only a small percent of you will want to line up in front of my house with pitchforks afterwards.

The codebase we'll be deploying is available at https://github.com/pouetnet/pouet2.0/ in case you want to poke around. Note that we're featurefrozen so please don't line up with "oh it would be so cool" - thx.

Couple of things that changed or to be expected:
- Full unicode compatibility. (Yes, you'll be able to post both poop and zalgo in the oneliner, for better or for worse.)
- A bunch of fun little JS upgrades to help adding stuff. (e.g. autocomplete) - the site does gracefully fall back if you prefer not to have JS.
- The existing unicode posts (or prods) will, in theory, be preserved and will display correctly.
- The "boards"/"lists" feature is incomplete but will be completed after migration.
- The FAQ will get updated with some of the new things.
And probably a few things I forget now.

Hopefully there'll be no complications and it'll be worth the 5(?) year wait.

:D

i havent seen a service call regarding this migration. what's the number again?

[17:26:03] <dfox> you know that you'll be killing the demoscene if the migration does fail and you forget to make backups :D
[17:26:14] <dfox> (no pressure)

Do you think I will be able to triforce on teh onliner à la 4chan? :D

Can't wait :D

woo!

Great. So that means we will be able to type Japanese characters and need no longer resort to embedding images in the Random Japanese Thread! (*^o^*)

Köszönöm szépen!

omg

BBcode anu Unicode on oneliner are for jazz musicians. I want old pouet back.

I didn't say bbcode.

Awesome! Can I preemptively while about how much better things were before?

:)

FINALLY !!!11 :D

May I be the first person to say ' OR 1=1); DROP TABLE `users`;

...aka break a leg! :)

Just keep in mind that at launch there won't that much innovation visible to the eye (pretty much only the things that Gargaj already mentioned).

However, new codebase and reworked database will make adding new features a bit easier, hopefully. :)

.. and analogue isn't going to jump in and surprise everyone again, riiight?

phoenix: he already did by forcing a license on code he didn't even write.

And moreover.....

BSD 3-clause does the latter too, but is less restrictive than GPL.


Yeah riiiiiight....

Have you ever had a look on the old pouet code?
It's worse than what we used to call "Kahlscher Code" or "Eisenbahncode" in my old company...
You don't really want to keep that ^^

Wait, what?

Also: what panic and dfox said :D
