New features from v2

[FFMG]

Hi,

I have looked around, but I cannot see a list of new features in v3, (from v2). I don’t really mind the $25.00 but I first want to see what the differences between v3 and v2 are.

V2 seems to be working just fine for me so I am a bit reluctant to jump to v3.
I did a bit of work on my template so I would also need to make sure that v3 works.

Some combination of posts i found in this forum.

New features in v3.2:

1. Detail Pages that use mod-rewrite
2. Mod Rewrite on pagination
3. Category Cache table added to database
4. Category search results
5. Template editor (.css + .tpl files)
6. Safe SQL queries

New features in v3.1:

1) Really Simple Captcha - Is really, really simple and readable. It works with built in fonts, as well as GD or True Type if available.
2) Maintenance Section
- Database Backup Feature: create a zip or sql file just like phpmyadmin. This file can be saved on the server, downloaded or emailed.
- Query Feature: Allows you to do some simple queries to the database.
3) Search Feature in Admin: Allows you to search for links and approve or delete
4) Detail Page: Works with or without mod rewrite.
5) Category Cache: There will be a new table added to the database, that caches the full category tree for each category(ex. business > services > incorporation > by state). As soon as this is done it will clear the way for other important and requested features, such as being able to display categories in search results. Right now, we can do this, but not fast enough. That is why we need a cache.
6) Mod Rewrite when there is pagination: ex. http://www.newstopica.com/testnewstopica/News_Area/page-3.html
7) XHTML Compliant: Certainly there are many template available now, but by default we want to be fully validated.
Cool Fix for the numeric ID problem in links
9) Yahoo Sitemaps integration
