Good work.<br><br>I saw the commits in CVS, and wondered "what the heck is version 2"?<br><br>Can you please consider renaming it a more descriptive name? Something like<br>contrib status, upgradability status, or the like?

I want to announce a new Developer Module named "version2" that assists with<br>keeping contributed modules up to date and summarizing their upgrade<br>availability. If you install this module on a 4.7 site, you can quickly
<br>determine if you are ready for the 5.0 upgrade based on the availability of<br>5.0 modules.<br><br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/version2">http://drupal.org/project/version2</a><br><br>I believe that it works, but it is brand spanking new (I wrote it last night
<br>and today) and should be considered beta quality. But as we are in the<br>middle of an upgrade push, I wanted to make it available sooner rather than<br>later.<br><br>Version2 reads the current version information of enabled contributed
<br>modules from CVS/Tag, the CVS $Id$ string, and from the new .info files.<br>Using cron, it gets the current version information from <a href="http://cvs.drupal.org">cvs.drupal.org</a> to<br>determine if your there are both minor or major upgrades available; update
<br>checks are currently limited to once per day. Version2 displays this<br>information on a single page and creates watchdog events when an upgrade is<br>available.<br><br>To quickly determine your contrib module upgrade availability for the next
<br>major release, install version2 on your current site and look for links in<br>the cvstag column. These are links to the new release download on<br><a href="http://cvs.drupal.org">cvs.drupal.org</a>. If most/all of your contrib modules are available, then it's
<br>time to upgrade your site!<br><br>Doug Green<br>904-583-3342<br><a href="http://www.civicactions.com">www.civicactions.com</a><br><a href="http://www.douggreenconsulting.com">www.douggreenconsulting.com</a><br><br>Changing the world one node at a time!
