views 6.x-2.0-alpha3

• Clone a view
• Live preview
• Some handlers from comment, poll and statistics are in.
• API: Views can handle external data sources if they're described properly (thanks hunmonk!)
• Enable/disable default views

Major bug fixes

• PHP4 basically works but is not thoroughly tested.
• Lots and lots of little bugs fixed

This is a rough list of features NOT YET IMPLEMENTED and thus TODO:

• PHP Arg code
• Relationships
• Filter groups
• Edit locking [because of the way the view is stored, it is possible and wise to lock a view from editing while another user is editing it. This lock will be overrideable in the event that someone is a dork].
• RSS
• Validation, lots of validation
• Handlers: profile, book, taxonomy, search, upload. Plus, not all handlers from node/user/comment/statistics have been implemented yet, but lots are.
• Javascript to make fields de-activate when they are not relevant

Work is under way for taxonomy, profile and search. The biggest real problems now are that there still are not enough handlers. Over the next 2 weeks, that is likely to be the focus of work.
