Earth (March 2008 - currently)

Earth is the current iteration of Sputnik, with releases available starting in June 2008. The main original difference between "Earth" and the earlier "Dish of the Day" was the use of "new" Kepler 1.1 installer, based on LuaRocks. Additionally, however, Earth ended up including the split of "Versium" into Versium and Saci, as well as near-complete rewrite of both. Other improvements involved the introduction of a XSS filtering and new backends using git, mysql or sqlite3.

Dish of the Day (December -February 2008)

Dish of the Day was defined by the introduction of Versium and hashed forms, both of which involved substantial code changes. It also started using LuaRocks for installation. This means that Sputnik is no longer released as a single component but as a collection of "rocks".

Dish of the Day also added support for WSAPI and switched to a different version numbering scheme - now based on the date when the version was released.

Dish of the Day is being developed in trunk at the moment, with snapshots and rocks created from trunk. Dish of the Day is mostly feature-frozen now and a separate branch will be created soon.

Releases:

Cottington (June - November 2007)

Cottington was an iteration that went from June to November 2007. It focused on fixing a whole bunch of UI flaws and also started treating certain things as swappable modules: switching between file system and LuaSVN for storage and between Markdown and LuaPOD for markup.

Cottington branches and releases were:

Benjy (June 2007)

Benjy focused on making Sputnik code appropriate for showing to the world. Much of the code was cleaned up and much was rewritten. A bunch of features were added, including cosmo template library, which since then got its own life.

Starting with early May 2007 potential users were invited were invited try installing Sputnik from SVN but no snapshots were made. A branch ("0.2.0") was created on May 31

"0.2.0"

Agrajag (April 2007)

"0.1" or "Agrajag" (named so retroactively) was the first iteration of Sputnik, written on a Sunday afternoon in early April of 2007. It worked and powered Kepler wiki for a few months, but the code was too ugly to be shown to the world. "Argajag" was originally designed to be a clone of JuneBug and the very first version really looked liked it. However, we slapped a navigation bar early on, since we felt the Kepler wiki needed it, and so the look and feel started diverging from there.

Agrajag was never "released". Email me if you want a copy for some strange reason. I think I just deleted my copy of it by mistake.
