Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on Bluetrait 2, so Alpha 3 doesn't have a huge number of changes.
The current plugins don't have an update url so they won't pull down the latest version information. I will update them either tonight or over the weekend.
Bluetrait 1.2.6 is now available for download.

Time for some plugin action!

So to install:
You no longer need to create a config file as the installer will take care of that for you.
If you are upgrading from Alpha 1 there are some manual steps that SQLite users will need to undertake. This information can be found in the file: upgrade.txt
One month after code example 2 it is time to release Bluetrait 2 Alpha 1.
The following have changed since Code Example 2:
This is the first version of Bluetrait 2 that will be upgradable.
Please note that this isn't a fully working version (its pre-beta), and many things aren't finished/don't work. Please don't use this on a production site.
So to install:
I've decided to release another code example.
Heaps has been done since the last code example. Most things can be found here, other things include work on the admin panel, spam support and a migration script. In fact enough has been done that I am running it on my main website.
This version now installs on both MySQL and SQlite (yay!).
Please note that this isn't a fully working version (its pre-beta), and many things aren't finished/don't work. Please don't use this on a production site. There won't be an upgrade script or support for this version.

There have been some Akismet network issues in the last few weeks.
After chatting to Barry of Automattic the issue was tracked down to a HTTP keep-alive issue. Basically it was taking about 30 seconds for each request to the Akismet server.
Although it seems these issues have been fixed the following workaround can be used in Bluetrait 1 without any issues.
Bluetrait 2 will be using HTTP/1.0 for Akismet.
The function of bt-settings.php will change with the introduction of Bluetrait 2.
The purpose of this file will be to allow users to hard set and modify certain values in Bluetrait without the need to modify the database. There are two main types of data that can be modified.
The default settings file contains values such as debugging options, what html can be used in posts/comments/events and what email address is used to notify the admin of the site if there is a database error.
The configuration stored in the database contains values such as what plugins are loaded, domain name, rss settings etc; the majority of the settings.
The idea behind the settings file is that users can set these values and then not worry about them changing. So Bluetrait 2 doesn't come with bt-settings.php but with a sample file that can be used, this means the file isn't overwritten during an upgrade.
The settings file can also be useful for development as you can enable debugging and change the domain name, when you are ready to deploy the site simply delete the settings file and the default settings are back.
