This is the last release on a version 1.x! Additionally, this is the last release with real-time functionality. I made a mistake when writing a real-time program for the HTTP/S protocol. The protocol was never designed for real-time communication. For me, there is much more beauty in the simplicity of a single-request model as opposed to a constantly-connected model (as RAL is now). There are many protocols (IRC, Telnet, SSH, etc.) which far better facilitate what I hoped to accomplish with a real-time textboard (and I hope that RAL can expand into these spheres soon).

In any case, the releases following 1.2 "Hope" will not be named after FFXIII characters anymore (sorry :P) and will feature a cleaner codebase and vastly simpler setup procedure.

This marks the second stable release of RAL; master is caught up with develop and there are few outstanding flaws with the source (based on live tests), hence the stable release. I am very proud of the current state of RAL, however there are still lots of things on my wish-list for the site. Once these things are accomplished, RAL will be bumped to Stable Release Version 2.0:

  • BBCode support deprecated in favor of RAL-flavored Markdown (#11)
  • Front-page searchbar (#10 )
  • Real-time support across all parts of the site (except help pages) (#6)
  • Eliminate "Post Successful" page when Javascript is enabled (#2)
  • Web moderation page (#7)
  • Transparent / Public moderation log (#8)

I look forward to the implementation of these ideas; if any of these features interest you and you would like to help please contact me: I would love to include you in the development of this project.

This is the first stable release of RAL; installation should be as simple as following the instructions in docs/INSTALL.pod and running bin/install once all requisites have been met. If there are any issues, please do not hesitate to contact me for help.

If you enjoy this software, I would love to hear from you!
