Hookie Alpha Build 13

We've just updated the demo at http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin7a/. We had to add a few extra features to the initial plan (store, shopping cart, better membership levels, etc), so we'll be rolling a few more Alpha builds before going on to Beta stage. This particular update may not look significant, but some progress can be well seen:

- user status: user can be online, offline, away, busy

- status message: the Twitter/Facebook latest craze

- media albums made some progress

- floating member menu improved (any suggestions on this one are very welcome, since it's a new toy)

- some work with titles and title zones

- cache for templates

- google maps profiles seatch

- Sites module is almost in (think about making something like Digg/Pligg)

- bug-fixing and smaller changes.

The next build is planned to bring more consistency and stability, as well as SEO and performance improvements. And in about 2 weeks I hope we'll get the source code out for download.

We hear complaints about performance/speed. Here's a thing. Dolphin 7 is fast. It should be way faster than D6, but so far we still have buggy queries/code here and there.

Anyway, this time we'll be testing and fixing and improving until it is really smooth and stable. No matter how much time/money it takes Dolphin 7 will be remembered as an absolutely reliable product.
