We are excited to announce that Anahita Social Engine ™ alpha2 has been released to the Anahita tribe of partners last night. This is a transition release to the alpha 3 and is not available to the public.
This release took about 67 days to build since the release of Anahita alpha1 and about half of that time was spent on upgrading the Anahita code to use the most recent Nooku Framework 0.7 code. We are hoping as we build more API and improve the Anahita framework we can reduce the time between each release.
I would like to thank my best friend and business partner Ash Sanieyan who did most of the work on this release. He is the genius behind implementation of Anahita ™ framework and platform. I like to think of him as the Harry Potter of programming. This project couldn’t have been possible to this degree of quality without him. The Anahita team would also like to thank Mr. Johan Janssens and the rest of the Nooku team who have worked with us to make this release possible.
What’s new in this release?
- Significant performance improvement due to the changes both in the framework and database model.
- Anahita Social Engine is now using the most recent version of Nooku Framework 0.7
- Implementation of Person Profile privacy settings and Privacy API which can be used within the Anahita Social Apps
- Improved implementation of the Social Graphs and also ability for people to block other unwanted people.
- Implementation of APIs that facilitate development of all kinds of Groups social apps for a social network such as: Groups, Events, Projects, Organization pages, Fan pages, etc.
- Implementation of Node Subscriptions API. This API allows Anahita Social ™ Applications to subscribe a person to a node and notify them later when a change occurs for the node. By default the notifications are handled via Emails, however, in the future Applications can customize this by adding their own notification handler such as SMS, iPhone Push Notification and etc.

We would like to announce the release of Anahita Social Engine ™ version 0.9.4 to Anahita tribe of partners. We have already started working on the 0.9.5 release which will be a polished version of existing release and suitable for launching live websites. Anahita 0.9.4 has been a complete overhaul of the previous release, since we had decided in October 2009 to rewrite the entire code base from ground up. The significant aspects of the new release are:
- Nodes+Graphs+Stories Architecture: we have successfully implemented the NGS architecture which follows the mathematical model that social networks are structured, scale and grow.
- Updating Nooku Framework: Anahita code has been rewritten to work with the most recent release of Nooku Framework which is version 0.7
- Anahita ™ Framework : Anahita now offers a rich framework and design philosophy for building all kinds of social applications as well as a platform for installing and hosting them.
I was going to write a list of new features for you here, but it would have been a very long list, because EVERY THING has been rebuilt in this release. You can consider 0.9.4 the regeneration of Anahita. We have updated the information on Anahitapolis to better reflect the changes in the new release. You can click here to learn more about the Anahita architecture overview.

We will be presenting the Anahita Social Engine ™ at the Vancouver BarCamp 2009 on October 3rd. Click on the banner to register and buy tickets.
We would like to announce the release of Anahita 0.9.3 (Code Catmint) to our partners and the immediate start of the version 0.9.4 development following the Anahita roadmap
The focus of version 0.9.3 has been to improve the Anahita templating, revise a standard CSS tag structure, and refactor all the Views so the core team and partners could start developing and configuring their project sites. We have also put in just about good enough basic tools for those who wish start developing social apps by using the Anahita Social ™ Discussions and Photos as the first blue prints for developing social apps.
Developing templates for Anahita is now not much different than developing templates for Joomla, the only issue that we are still dealing with is that Anahita is using the Mootools 1.2.3 and Joomla 1.5 is still using Mootools 1.1 so if there are modules that are developed for the old version of Mootools they may not work in the Anahita environment.
All the template outputs, social engine and social apps CSS code are over-writable at the template level. We are also looking into ways so even the Javascript libraries will become re-writable so those who wish to write their own custom javascript code for a particular social web project be able to do so.
We will be writing a blog post about template customization for Anahita, and thanks to the Joomla’s superb template engine and Nooku Framework, Anahita is now powered with one of the finest template engines available today.
