Well yeah, the new version will be a lot better than the old one, but it will not be perfect(and in fact far from perfect). I plan to release Mys v1.3.2 first and then post a few threads regarding our future plans.
Interesting, all evening shifts? Is it still the same story for you during the past few days? I always have an irregular biological clock myself, but it is not healthy. Hopefully you dont have to stay up too late at night.
And btw, did you play around with smarty lately? I told you I already figured out how the template system work a while ago, hopefully it is not difficult for you to understand at this point. I think we will be using it for version 1.4.0, or maybe even as early as v1.3.3. Another template system called twig deserves mentioning too, but it is more difficult for designers to interpret.
