So it sounds like December 1, 2009 is the launch date for ExpressionEngine 2.0. This information was revealed this past week at the EECI2009 conference in Leiden, Netherlands. Leslie Camacho from Ellis Labs was a speaker and let the date known in an interview with EEInsider. EEInsider is having ExpressionEngine 2 Week with a slew of articles on this exciting news, complete with screenshots.
We're very excited about some of the features in the upcoming version. These include a more flexible, forward thinking control panel with redesigned interface, a new File Management system, and much more.
What does this mean to our clients? Well, nothing just yet. For the time being we'll continue to develop current projects in ExpressionEngine 1.6.8. Ellis Lab will continue to release security patches for 1.6.8 for the forseeable future. We will begin our testing of 2.0 in December. Once we determine what is involved in upgrading current client sites to 2.0, we will offer the service on an individual, as necessary basis. And, once we are confident that ExpressionEngine 2 has all of the bugs work (presumably a 2.1 style release), we will begin to develop projects from the ground up in the new version.
