Getting ready for Bluetrait 2

Posted by Michael Dale on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 2:07 PM

Bluetrait 2 has been completely rewritten, the code is very different. There are a number of requirements that have changed.

Basic Requirements:

  • PHP 5.2 will be required (up from php 4.3.3)
  • MySQL 4.1+ or SQLite will be supported. SQLite is a database system that is now included within PHP 5. If you have PHP 5.2 installed then SQLite should be installed.

Migration notes:

Bluetrait 2 cannot upgrade a Bluetrait 1 install, but your data can be migrated over. This means that plugins and custom styles will not work on Bluetrait 2. All your Bluetrait 1 data can be moved to the new system. This includes posts, comments, events, users etc.

Bluetrait 2 will only be able to migrate from 1.2.5 or higher. Take the time now to upgrade to Bluetrait 1.2.5

Bluetrait 2 will not support migrating from MySQL to SQLite. So if you're running Bluetrait 1 now, you will need to keep using MySQL. SQLite is only supported for new installs.

This post will be updated closer to the release of Bluetrait 2 with more information.
