Roster 2.0 Public Beta has started
http://www.wowroster.net/Forums/viewforum/f=7.html

We have been feverishly working on Roster 1.8 for a few months now and it is just about ready for beta release in a few weeks

Here are some highlights for 1.8

• AddOn installer/config center - Roster now has libraries for the installation, upgrade, un-installation and configuration of addons
  
  • The AddOn SDK is updated for 1.8 - Go to the 1.8 http://www.wowroster.net/MediaWiki/Rost ... n:AddonSDK
    This will be moved to the current SDK page when 1.8 is in beta
  • Most Roster converted to addons using the new addon framework
  • A multiple scope system allows easy use of data based on the scope you are in
• Roster now supports 3 auth levels (admin,officer,guild)
  
  • Not full blown auth, but this is the best we can deliver without pushing back development for a few more months
• WoW 2.0 character data now available
• A complete overhaul of the character information page
• LUA parsing enhancements
• CMS integration possibilities have been greatly improved by the use of a link function and a separate link library file
• A revamped main menu allowing button movement and ability to add custom buttons
• Better error management
• New database layer system
• I personally think Roster runs just a bit quicker now
• Many aspects of Roster have some more control in RosterCP (New name for Roster Config)
• Better utf-8 compatibility
• And now for some drum roll...

• Multi Guild / guildless / public ability has come to Roster!

We have worked long and hard for this release and think it will be the best version of Roster ever (until R2 that is!)

Sounds Awesome

Aweseomsauce.

Can't wait until it's finished.

I knew it was gonna have a few improvements but I didn't think it would be that many... I can tell integration will be cleaner, smoother and more feature rich than ever before. Until Smarty in R2 of course! I can't wait for the beta!

nice! hope it would be fast!

Ooooh shiny

Thank you for all your hard work! That's spectacular...

/cheer!

Cool, awaiting for use it good job!

-1.8 still saving alot of items information or use itemid,enchantid,gemsid to avoid space on DB and get multiligual users to same language? or need to wait to next major revision 2.x .. :rabbit2:

The only delocalization 1.8 offers that 1.7.3 didn't is that class/race names are stored both localized an in english for players with CP data. There are some ideas for delocalizing items, but there is not yet a working code concept. Don't expect it in the 1.x line.

i would love to see this release available soon.....keep the good work up

Sounds great, can't wait for a release

i want a beta!!!!!

Ulminia, since you are an addon dev you should have read access to the svn which will get you started.
