Views 6.x-2.0 Alpha 2 released

Yes, everyone, the day has arrived!

Actually, technically, it arrived yesterday, but I chose not to announce alpha1 in case it had catastrophic bugs. It didn't, but I immediately had to do some serious retooling which breaks all pre-existing views. Annoying.

The day has arrived! Views 2 is going public; the UI is basically complete, and everyone can play with it. Lots of stuff works; there's still a long list of features that are not yet implemented. And many of these features, other Drupal devs can help on.

Views 2: Status

I haven't posted so much recently. I've really had my head down trying to get Views 2 to a point where more people can start working on it, and I hope to have an alpha prior to DrupalCon Boston. Since that's only a month away, that's a pretty exciting timeline.

Here's a rough idea of my TODO list:

  • Retool argument handlers to better handle the fact that they can have their own style plugins for summaries. Also to make their default behavior more overrideable.
  • Support rearranging fields/sorts/filters/etc via drag & drop.
