This is a bit of a double whammy, actually. Maybe triple? Who knows. Let me explain...

I've just added a new page to the Injader website that lists all of the changes completed for the next version. You can see it on the new Upcoming Versions page.

This page is not something I need to update manually. I have just started using Mantis to organise bug reports, enhancements and other change requests. Whenever I resolve an issue in Mantis, it will appear on the Upcoming Versions page automatically.

There is also a "Released Versions" page that is currently empty, but will become relevant once the next version of Injader comes out.

This also signals a move towards plugins for functionality that shouldn't be included in the default Injader install. While Injader has plenty of handy features that don't require plugins, some things are better left as addon functionality. For instance, I'd like to develop a Newsletter Manager to take on the likes of Aweber, by providing a feature-rich, easy to use interface that you don't have to pay for. But if it was part of the Injader core, I'd have to keep releasing new versions of Injader even if the Newsletter Manager was the only thing that changed.

Some features do make sense in the core, but not all. This Mantis plugin is an excellent example of something that might be of benefit to some people, but that works better as a plugin.

I'll be writing more about plugins in Injader soon.
