As many of you have noticed: LimeSurvey 2 is now available. It has been the cumulation of almost a year of work and though it seems pretty much the same to the outside (except for some new features) the inner workings have been completely rewritten.
... [More]
(and more will be done in the future). The long-term goal of these changes is to make LimeSurvey as modular as possible, e.g. the upcoming Version 2.1 will encapsulate question times for the first time as plugins. We know for a fact that there are still minor quirks hidden somehwere in LimeSurvey 2.0 (this is absolutely normal considering this complete rewrite) but if you report any issues you encounter we will be up to fix these as soon as possible.
For now we want to thank you everyone who donated for their generosity and their donation played a big part in pushing LimeSurvey 2.0 out. It would be great if we can meet this year donation goal to ensure the development for the rest of the year.
For now don't hesitate to download the latest 2.0 or click below to read the change log from 1.92 to 2.0.
