My ExpressionEngine 2.0 Add-on roadmap
Now that ExpressionEngine 2.0 is coming December 1st, you might be wondering what third party add-ons will be available. I’ve been part of the developer preview since the beginning, so I had an early start to convert some of mine to 2.0. To give you a better idea of what’s in store on my part, I’ll give you a roadmap of my add-on compatibility, just like Brandon Kelly did earlier.
Roadmap
| Add-on | Target date |
|---|---|
| Low Random plugin | December 1st |
| Low Seg2Cat extension | December 1st |
| Safe Encode extension | December 1st |
| Title plugin | December 1st |
| Nice Date plugin | December 1st |
| Widon’t plugin | December 1st |
| Find and Replace plugin | December 1st |
| Yearly Archives plugin | December |
| Low NoSpam | January |
| Google Mini Plugin |
I’m planning on adding Google Site Search to the Google Mini Plugin, hence the later date. Also, you might notice that some of my add-ons aren’t present in this table. Those are being discontinued.
Discontinued
- Akismet for ExpressionEngine (replaced by Low NoSpam)
- File Manager Module (due to new spiffy native file manager in EE2.0)
- Low CP extension (due to new control panel)
- Allow PHP plugin
- Exif plugin
These add-ons will not be ported to EE2.0, but will still be available for the 1.6.x branch.

Cool. I have Find and Replace everywhere.
Low, good to see your roadmap and cool almost everything is available from the start!
Though one question, currently I’m using your Exif plugin on my photoblog. Is there an alternative available as far as you know (that will be ported to EE 2.0)? Or might there be a chance that you make it available anyway… thanks!
Hey Jonathan. I’m not aware of any Exif plugin alternative, I’m afraid. If I’m ever going to port my Exif plugin to 2.0, it will be after all my other add-ons have been ported. If I get enough requests for it, I’ll reconsider it.
Hi Low, thanks for the roadmap. Along with Brandon Kelly’s and others, I’d be keeping these bookmarked.
We’ve been pretty excited even before we got our beta copy, and compatibility is really the only area of concern.

Thanks Low, for the explanation… then I reallyhope there will be more requests for porting the Exif plugin ;-)
Hey Low, I would also love to have the exif plugin ported to EE 2.0! This is a really great thing for photographers and metadata geeks like me. I hope you will consider updating it when you can.
Thanks,
Jack
