polaris-digital.com and PDnH 0.2

Well, as you will probably be aware of by now, PDnH 0.1.x has been a success. Polaris Digital successfully launched using PDnH 0.1.2 and since then I have silently been releasing revisions on a weekly basis (currently at 0.1.8). So as you’ll probably have figured out, 0.2 is just around the corner and this is when PDnH will go public, with help from our friends at Source Forge.

PDnH 0.2 will bring a few new additional features that have already been mentioned, including Podcasting (inc. video) support, RSS feeds and more. Most of which have already been tested on polaris-digital.com already. The biggest change in 0.2 is that fact that PDnH is now completely object orientated, which should make it easier for all you budding developers out there to get your teeth into. For example, each rendered page is now an object; as is each feed, podcast and email.

To celebrate the advances of PDnH, I will be launch a newly revised version of the main Polaris Digital site. Although I have loved the current one, and it has only had a very short lifespan, unfortunately the new leaner, meaner and most importantly, cleaner, PDnH means the database has to be re-gigged a little and whilst I am doing that, I thought I’d probably have a bash at cleaning up the CSS2 as well.

Result? Well you’ll just have to come back and see shortly!

Oh and I’ll be launching another web site along side Polaris Digital using PDnH 0.2 as well, more to follow…
