After a few months of intense development and procrastination (yes, you can have both) I've finally upgraded KiwiWriters.

It's been a long haul. The last time KiwiWriters was updated was way before a number of changes that have been made to Zaapt. I won't go through all the details, but here's a rundown of the technologies that have changed under the hood.

  • changed OS from Debian Sarge to Etch
  • upgraded from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2
  • Postgres 7.4 to 8.1
  • an earlier Zaapt version to Zaapt 0.1 rc1

I know there are a few things I've missed but I plan on fixing those up over the weekend. It was about time I just did it rather than wait around anymore. Also, it's not a mission critical site (and it's volunteer work) so it gets as much time as it gets because no-one's paying for it :-)

Anyway, I'm glad to have finally done it because this means KiwiWriters is now using http://zaapt.org.nz/ (deprecated) Zaapt v0.1 and now I can start of development for v0.2.

Excellent news :-)
