After more than 10 hours work today we have a new total for the changes between "current md" and the new branch:
642 files changed, 3233 insertions(+), 6653 deletions(-)
For those interested, the insertions are lines that have been added to the codebase, deletions are the count of lines removed.
Lines edited are counted as an insertion and removal.
As you can see I am removing a hell of a lot of code, simplifying what we have and fixing up the old code.
Currently this dev branch includes the new javascript/css compressor/optimiser. New sound system provided by HTML5 rather than flash, and the new JS intereface preparing to remove the flash crud. This update will still include flash.
The other big change in this dev branch is the PHP7/database rework. Going forward all code will use the unified DB library we use which will make everything a lot easier to manage/handle.
