I love this module, but waiting for the stable release.

Any plans?

The short answer is No, there will be not stable release in the following weeks.

The long answer is that I've been very busy with a huge project and I hadn't had time to solve bugs. I've been using a lot this module, specially the 6.x branch, there are still issues that I'm trying to solve, the biggest problems come when I use other modules that interact in some way with the users profile/account, and since this is a small module it will be very hard for us to push other modules (think notifications) into supporting this module. But integrating every module out there would be really hard to maintain latter so that's not the road I'm willing to take. The solution is to create an automated way to integrate most modules with this one.

Also, the D7 branch has been left behind right know because the site I'm using is built on D6. That's not bad, since I've been testing this module a lot under very weird conditions and eventually I'll have to port everything to D7, but I'll do it once D6 has a stable release or at least a beta.

Right now, there are still too many changes to make in order for this module to achieve it's goal and I don't want to freeze the code and move to a 2nd branch, that wouldn't make any sense.

Finally, the only thing I can promise is try not to break the 100+ sites out there using this module when I make changes, after all, almost 90% of my sites now are using it.

Thanks lelizondo, sounds great. Since this is such a great initiative, perhaps exposing some kind of hook, so all those other modules can start accessing Profile UX, instead of profile ux trying to work with 100s others would be the way to go. Slowly, modules could hook into it.

Perhaps even advertising this hook on the front page saying "if you are a module maintainer..."etc.
