The Devalot 0.2 release is getting closer, and here's an update on
what's happening. It's been a long time since 0.1 was released, and
I'm working toward releasing 0.2.
The master branch is in the git repository:
http://repo.noscience.net/devalot.git
I've migrated Devalot to Rails 2.0.2, and I think I've gotten
everything stable again. This fixed a standing issue with MySQL
database support, and hopefully addressed issues with Sqlite3 and
MSSQL (I do not currently test with those). If anyone wants to test
what's checked in, I would appreciate feedback. I want to finish up
on a couple minor features (devalot.yml and page/ticket watch) before
the 0.2 release.
For Devalot 0.3, I plan to migrate to Rails 2.1, enable sessions to
help prevent cross-site scripting attacks (requires overhaul of all
forms, probably dropping the easyforms plugin), and refresh plugins.
I think the ability to view page history is also long overdue (it's in
the database, but there's no way to view it).
Feel free to cast your votes on this group for features you'd like to
see sooner than later. Keep in mind that I can be bribed. ;-)
Candidates:
* Anonymous comments.
* Project Management features in ticket system (estimates, targets,
etc).
* Attach files to pages.
* Forums (is there really demand for this feature? Let me know).
* SCM integration.
