    Marking the 3000+ Code Commits 

    Last week we have made the alpha release of Anahita 0.9.4 available to the people and companies in the Anahita tribe of partners. This release did take a lot longer that we have estimated because this released wasn’t simply an overhaul of the previous release. We have rewritten the entire framework and platform from scratch based on a new design philosophy and that took us more than 400 hours of development hours.

    We have also passed 3000 code commits to our repository (currently at revision 3077). That means over 1500 development hours since we have started coding together this project over a year ago. Anahita has gradually become the center piece and focus of our business as a commercial open source project that is enjoying a healthy organic growth.

    We didn’t get the chance to make a blog announcement last week (only tweeted here and here). After releasing the code packages to our tribe members, we all immediately started testing, debugging, and reviewing our task lists and planning for the stable release date. I was simply too distracted and excited to focus on writing a blog announcement.

      Many thanks for the writeup and updates!

      Love the post when I went through everything especially the “Less is More!”.

      Couldn’t agree less on that.

      I am excited to see the release of Anahitapolis, and would love to test drive it. If you come to the point of needing an additional beta tester, remember me! I have a social application site I am waiting to develop, and I believe I would like to use your software to do it. It is http://sociallyactivewebmasters.com.
      Thanks!

    So what is the status of Anahita 0.9.4 Release? 

    Ash (Peerglobe Technology) and Talia (TACN Studio)

    The Anahita version 0.9.4 release has been late and for those of us who are wondering here is why: Anahita 0.9.4 is a major evolutionary stage for this project. We are rebuilding a lot of the core code and data model business logic from ground up to move towards a true organic and flexible architecture for developing all kinds of social networks. This release is where the Anahita design philosophy is finally coming through and the code-base will be more stabilized according to the vision that we have been nurturing for this project. The details of the implementation and concept have already been shared with our partners and we will be blogging the software design concepts here as soon as we are done implementing them. We are following an old convention of “build it first, brag later”, because it is always easy to talk about software development concepts in public, yet having a working and functioning code accompanied with our words is what we are after.

    We are migrating to Nooku Framework 0.7 right away

    That was supposed to be done for the Anahita 0.9.5 but instead we decided to start on that right away. Our initial goal was to implement the 0.9.4 features according to the road-map and then migrate to entire code to the Nooku Framework version 0.7, however soon we have realized that we needed the more advanced framework capabilities of the Nooku Framework 0.7 in order to develop the next release of Anahita.

    For the more technical minds: A social network’s data model is far more sophisticated than a Content Management System (CMS) or a read/write web project. Up to now we have been using the Nooku Framework version 0.6.3 which provided us models, dynamic tables, rows, and rowsets and that was a significant improvement over what the default Joomla! 1.5 provided us, but for the next release of Anahita we are using a domain driven design approach and Nooku Framework 0.7 is required for a cleaner implementation.

      Thank you Zilveer, we are really looking forward to it too!

      Your product sounds interesting. Do you have a tentative time line for public access? I am in the middle of implementing social features and i came across your site.
      Would love top hear.

    • Ahmed Muhammed 11:41 am on November 3, 2009 Permalink

      Congratulations on progress so far !! I think (and I wish) that Anahita will be the most successful social networking solution ever. It has a great team of developers, a stable roadmap and a vision for creating a unique platform rather than a Facebook or Twitter clone.

      Good luck guys !!

    • Yasin 2:40 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink

      Thanks for this awesome product guys. Please provide a migration script from JomSocial to Anahita for a smooth transition. Keep up the good work!

      ( updates on the com_photos will be blogged in the next 72 hours ) 216 hours passed.

    • Rastin Mehr 3:46 pm on November 8, 2009 Permalink

      @Elbert – yes, the development took a bit longer. I am going to make some screen captures and post them up today. The dates that we post are goals not promises even though we really try to stick to them as much as possible.

    • Rastin Mehr 5:32 pm on November 8, 2009 Permalink

      @all – here are some screen captures of the new Anahita Social Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/netphotography/sets/72157622763856842/

      A blog post will be coming soon to explain a bit more about this social app!

      Great job! Very excited.

      Any new news available on the public release? I submitted an email about becoming a partner a couple of weeks ago but never got a response. Would love to get a jump on creating templates for this application.

      Thanks.

    • Ross Morel 1:23 pm on November 17, 2009 Permalink

      Very excited so far! Keep up the great work! Let me know if there is any work to be had on an automation testing platform for the public release.

    • Rastin Mehr 12:14 am on November 20, 2009 Permalink

      @Çağrı – Thank you we can’t wait for it either :)

      @Sam – Thank you! Please contact us one more time and tell us more about yourself, your project, and if it is due in 2-3 months from now

      @Ross – Thank you we’ll let you know
