Wanted version compatible with Drupal 5.0. Do you have planes to upgrade module in near future?
I want to test this new version on www.drupal.ru (running 5.0 RC1 now) :)

wim leersYes, could one of the developers please give us an indication when he/she would start on making the changes to get the Boost module compatible with Drupal 5? Thanks!

toma commentedAny news to get this module to drupal 5.x
Thanks
Comment #3
Arto commentedI would prefer not to maintain two branches (4.7.x and 5.x) concurrenctly, so ideally I'd branch the 5.x version once the 4.7.x version is stable and I don't plan to add any new features to it. As there are still some open issues for the 4.7.x branch, that's not the case as of yet.
In other words, no definite schedule for this yet. Hopefully within the next month or two, but that depends entirely on how much time I have to devote to this amidst work pressures.
The best way to help moving this forward is to submit patches for fixing bugs in the existing version, so that we can make a 1.0 release soon and then move the module to Drupal 5.x

fiLi commentedAnother month passed by. Any chances we'll see a development beta for Drupal 5.1?
Comment #5
axel commentedI ported module to Drupal 5, now it works on www.drupal.ru. I will upload patches to 4.7 version after these weekends.
Comment #6
axel commentedHere is version ported to Drupal 5.x: http://www.drupal.ru/repo/modules/boost/5.x/ (Bazaar-NG repository, but you may download files with browser)
Comment #7
wim leersThanks a lot, Axel! I will definitely give your 5.x code a try and report back!
If you'd like, you could perhaps contact the maintainer to become co-maintainer?
Comment #8
wim leers1) The .info file is missing, but that's a quick fix.
2) I'm not sure this gives an actual performance boost on the mid-traffic websites. It took less to generate a new page, than it took to serve the static file cached by Boost. It doesn't make sense, but it really happened, at least for me.
Comment #9
wim leersForgot to mention this (doh), but the files in Axel's repository *do* work! :)
Comment #10
fiLi commentedAxel - will you kindly share the changes file for the Drupal 5 code so that it could be posted here and branched for a Drupal 5 release. That way it could be further maintained by Arto and the community?
Comment #11
Arto commented5.x support has been committed, based on Axel's port (thanks, Axel!). See #153179.
