LiteStep 0.24.8 Release Candidate 1

Hello fellow LiteSteppers!

Thanks to the efforts of Acidfire, ilmcuts, jugg, Maduin and Tobbe the 
LiteStep Development Team is happy to announce LiteStep 0.24.8 Release 
Candidate 1.

More information and downloads are available at: http://www.lsdev.org/

We expect this release to be a drop-in replacement for 0.24.7.  If you 
have *any* issues (minor or large) please be sure to inform us about 
them rather than working around the issue and not telling us.  We'd much 
appreciate it.  You can contact us at our team address: devteam [at] 
lsdev.org or right here on the mailing list.

Happy LiteStepping,
- The LiteStep Development Team

non-english litestep websites?

What active non-english LiteStep community portals are out there?

I'm currently remembering www.litestep.de and www.litestep-france.net

Any others?

State of the Step April 2008

Dear LiteSteppers,

When you least expect it... an update from your friendly LiteStep
Development Team:

Welcome to the April 2008 edition of the State of the Step!

On the agenda this time:

1. The Development Team
2. LiteStep vs. Litestep
3. LiteStep 0.24.8
4. Windows Vista
5. In Closing...

Go!

1. The Development Team
- A(nother) new lineup
-------------------------

Development at a snail's pace... and that's being nice. jugg and I
(ilmcuts) have been working on the core on and off, but that's hardly
enough to fulfill the expectations. Thus we went out recruiting people.
Of the several people we contacted, we are proud to announce that three
have accepted the offer. Welcome, Acidfire, Tobbe, and Xjill!

This means the devteam now is:

Litestep.Info

As some of you might remember, there was a large amount of talk 
semi-recently regarding bringing litestep.info back online. A lot of 
talk, not much action, both on here and on West's board (which seems to 
be down :-( )

The site's intent was to be an "informative", user-friendly place for 
new and prospective users.

Anyhow, I thought it prudent to ask YOU, the litestep users, what sort 
of ideas could be seen as "informative" and thus, something to be 
considered as content for the site.

As I recall, things "we" DON'T want:

    * Forums -- We have enough of these. I don't really think having
      forums is necessary.
    * Wiki -- Dont think another one of this is needed either, as we
      already have one: http://wiki.litestep.com.ar/Index (Note:
      Although, I like the idea of a wiki.litestep.info mirror/redirect
      thing)
    * Themes -- We have SEVERAL sites that cover this as well. Also,
      doesn't fit into the scope of the site either.

Things we "do" like/want:

    * Module Documentation: This is a *big* undertaking however, and not
      something that would be available at launch.
    * Articles/Tutorials:
          o Theme Reviews: This was discussed on the forums, I think it
            would be a nice idea to do a weekly review of a theme, with

?  you need a direct download for a tool, or a url to refer people to?

www.lsdev.org will always have the downloads available.  If you need a 
link to the last release, one is currently at:

http://www.lsdev.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=lsdev:downloads:ls-0.24.7.zip

If you're desiring a generic url, please let me know for what purpose so 
we can see if a solution can be had.

"OTS3"

Greetings,

yet again i come in peace and with an anouncement regarding the litestep
distribution that could be ots3:

Since Andymon released his great ThemeManager (
http://www.ls-universe.info/news.php?item.455.1 ) with support for ots3, i
have all the tools required for a "normal" Litestep distribution. So i
made one :]

Features:

- a neat installer
- full ots2 compability (if not its a bug)
- no additional requirements ( "no python" )
- all that ots3 stuff (
http://www.ls-themes.org/index.php?cat=article&show=ots3 )

Why use it?

While nothing speaks *against* using it, there are only meta benefits from
using it either.
What i mean by that is that nothing will change if you just install and
use it. How could it, since your theme will stay the same and there are no
ots3 themes so far.

There is only one reason to use it: *If* you improve it, everyone,  
including
you, can benefit from it. OTS2 wont change anymore, but OTS3 can and will
benefit from your help!

Thank you Antoine. I'll take a look at the string tomorrow.

GS and Rant

GS, Global Schemes, at the moment will not work under OTS2.

You see, GS enabled themes must tell the OTS that it uses GS,
then the OTS can load the required evars and modules for the theme to use.

The other option is to always load the evars and modules regardless of  
wether or not the theme will use them.

When I was developing GS I felt it obvious that OTS2 themes would need to  
be re-written (updated)
to use GS anyway, so during that process updating to OTS3 would not seem  
so difficult (the addition of a file with a few lines in it, 2mins work,  
2mins)
