Today we release 2.0.0 version, which you can download and test. Version 2.x.x will be fully compatibile with oxwall platform and oxwall plugins. First step is release 2.1 version, where we want use Twitter Bootstrap everywhere. We start change Admin Panel, where we use Twitter Bootstrap and then we start change Frontend. Next step is drop mobile version, because Twitter Bootstrap is fully responsive, so when we finish transition to Twitter Bootstrap, desktop site will be good display on mobile devices. When we start work on version 2.2, we want create good PWA app. We will develop OxwallPlus on free time, but if you want donate us, then we can work more frequently.
On future, we want start work on 3.0 version, which will transform to new brand and abandon oxwall code. We want user Symfony Framework and create brand new software, which will be modern and allow us develop the best free community software on the world. So when we start work on 3.x version, then we start rewriting oxwall plugins and use Symfony Framework. When OxwallPlus will be completly rewrited, then we start develop brand new community software.

Oxwall have problems with seo, when you using on site more than one language. Then Google and others robots indexing site only in main language.
Oxwall Plus have SEO impovement, where you can insert not default language iso codes in your urls. So you can have english site on domian.com and polish site on domain.com/pl. You can have other languages on subdomians, eg. pl.domain.com, but then you must set wildcard DNS record.
If site grows, have more and more users, then page is loading longer and longer. Oxwall Core have caching methods, but don't use it.
Oxwall Plus have two cache systems. First is DB Cache, which user MySQL tables, where stored are serialized data from MySQL queries. If you select all rows from MySQL table, then you can cache it and only refresh cache when you add, edit or delete row. Second is File Cache System, which stored serialized data in files. Using second system you can reduce MySQL queries.
Oxwall Plus have feature to minimize all CSS an JavaScript scripts and declarations, you can store it on separate files, which are refresh when add new CSS/Javascript file or when you refresh cache.
Oxwall plus have completly rewritten instalation script. Now you can install Oxwall script, when you have enabled PHP 7 on your server.
New installation script also can be translated to other langauges. We using Gettext PHP Library, so you can translate installation script to your language using english PO file.
