Hi,

We have been using Boost qutie successfully at www.huliq.com

We are considering upgrading to Drupal 5 or 6 in the future.

Is there any intention to carry on the development of Boost - perhaps upgrading to Drupal 5 / 6? Are there major issues that need to be addressed and is there a way forward to upgrade to Drupal 5 & 6?

Do you have plans for any more features - such as being able to cache different parts of the site for different lenghts of time?

We would like to able to cache nodes for longer, but have the front page and views taxonomy/term list pages cache for a much shorter amount amount of time.

For Drupal 5.x compatibility, please refer to #153179. While I won't be working with 6.x for some time yet myself, the submitter of the 5.x patch has indicated an interest in doing a 6.x port, and I will certainly publish it if he does so.

As for features, that is driven purely by my own needs, client demands, and the patches people post here. On the two first fronts, I'm working on implementing JS/CSS aggregation (similar to what's found in Drupal 6.x) into Boost. No other features are planned as of now - the problem with this module is that given how complex it can be to install and understand (mod_rewrite isn't the easiest subject for the average Drupal user), there will always be a significant support overhead for any feature that is implemented.
