After upgrading to the DSM 5 Beta I have come across a few issues with the database change form MySQL to Maria and to be honest at first I went through the database upgrade option but noticed a few issues with not just dup but a few other applications I have that access MySQL. Speed was sluggish at best and sometimes the database would not update!
So I finally got around to releasing this, did a lot more work than intended to on it before releasing so the move/linking/renaming/deleting is now working fine!
There are lots of bits of code I need to tide up and move about, may be some interface bugs too, but over all I feel it’s at an acceptable level for public testing.
After reviewing most of the comments on the below posts I’ve decided to setup phpBB and added a few forums, as the issues should be easier to track down via forums instead of blog comments. Pretty basic stuff so nothing fancy!
I’ve imported the wordpress accounts into phpBB so no need for another account!

So I finally got back to this after some very nice holidays, only to be very very disappointed by the sqlite performance compared to MySQL. The plan was to remove the requirement of MySQL altogether but to be honest I’ve only used sqlite in c++ in the past and not the likes of php so I might be doing something wrong, I’ll revisit this from time to time.
As I may be busy over the next few weeks fixing little things here and there I thought that a database upgrade option would be handy, so, if you have already upgraded to version 0.6 or higher you no longer need to start from scratch and can keep your data.
