If you are looking for a dead stable, slow moving branch of WebGUI to use for your website, WebGUI 8.0 is not for you. We will be pouring features into it. If you need stable, then please use WebGUI 7.10, which will only ever have bug-fixes applied to it. If you need absolutely stable, then use WebGUI 7.9, which will never have releases again.
As has been for the last several months, all of our work is in getting the hosting infrastructure set up for WebGUI 8, so that Plain Black’s websites can be moved over to it. The last element of that is the demo server, and we’re debugging it now.
Another part of that hosting infrastructure is Task::WebGUI, a new cpan module that will setup and install all of WebGUI’s perl module dependencies for you. If you choose a source install, then a simple:
cpanm Task::WebGUI
will install everything for you. However, the version on CPAN is currently minorly out of date. If you install it today, then you will not get every module needed for WebGUI 8. After the demo system is working, then Task::WebGUI will be updated.
