Thank you very much denis for the answerss, deeply appreciate it.
Point 2) I am excited for the beta version and would be great that once you release beta version, you also mention when official release will come - it will help users to make plans based on the monoX official releases.
This beta version will also help users and developers of monoX to know about bugs etc before the official release so that official release can have bug fixes - Great plan !!!
Point 3) Yes I do understand that - All the other .net open source also mention the instructions in the upgrade process that, this upgrade process will only work when database is in the original state (of previous version) - If there is any modification done in the previous version, the database needs to be adjusted first to original state before running the upgrade version script. And obviously, if any user makes modification in the code, after replacing the files and folders of new version, the modification will be wiped out and all the modification done in previous version needs to be done again in the new version code.
This is a commonly used process in other .net open source projects and I guess every users also needs to understand that upgrade process works only when no modifications are there in the structure of the website.
Point 5)
a) MVC - Once monoX is moved to MVC, how the upgrade process will work, still monoX team will try its best to make the upgrade process easy n smooth by providing sql upgrade script etc ? I know database structure might change so it can be difficult. OR all the current websites based on monoX (upto next upcoming webform version) will lose stuff and will have to re-do everything ? I know still there is some time in MVC version so it might be difficult to answer, but any approx idea or your thoughts ?
b) MVC version will have all the features till date ? or there is a possibility that a few features might be un-available in MVC because MVC is still not very old and a few things in webforms might not be available in MVC ?
