Hi there,

new wannabe-RSgallery user here Smiley

I'm looking to download the software but the only current version I can find on the download page or on forge is 1.14.02 which is an alpha release and 1.14.0 is said to be the stable release. I am working on a production site and can't risk alpha or beta software?

Am I being blind / silly?

Thanks

Paul

1.14.2 is considered a production ready alpha, this basically means that the line of development will allow new features to be added, but this release will probably work like a charm on your website

We have done this because we wanted the templating system and joomla 1.5 integration to be complete before going to beta and stable status

do a test first, and when it works, you can use it on a production website, if you run into troubles, the forum is here to help

by the way, make sure you use rsgallery2 1.14.3 as it fixes a security issue

I've had trouble with all the versions of RSGallery2 and I've used the nightly builds, the alpha versions, and the...oh, there's not even beta versions available.  OK, that was a little harsh, but my site is more than 3 years old and I've tried to install this feature for more than a year and still can't find an install that works.  Yes, templates are included with the install, but they hardly work with other plugins or templates. 

This is a very tough plugin to implement while maintaining browser compatibilty.  I commend you on your marketing, but wonder why this isn't even close to a beta release.  There are plenty of Joomla components, mambots, and modules that are beta or stable and comply with 1.x or 1.5.  While on the other hand, you guys have never released anything other than alpha.  Yes, it's easy to stick to alpha because you don't have to be responsible for anything and you don't have to produce a workable product, so why advertise as being a capable solution for such a broad array of Joomla installs? 

Just give us something even remotely reliable and compliant with, at the very least, 2 web browsers (you can even choose the browsers).  Even the nightly rebuilds conflicted with themselves and a webmaster had to go in and search and delete the files to even be able to upgrade. 

Is anything even close to usable?
