Issues for beta1

[Rouslan Placella]

I found 4 issues that affect beta1. Namely issues #28, #29, #30 and #31
from out tracker. I think that they must be resolved before we move on
to beta 2. I don't have all that much time lately, so if anyone wants to
jump at them, please do :)

I have been pretty busy lately but I hope to upgrade a few sites soon
(Geeklog and forum). If no one has tackled them by then I will and
then at that point we can hopefully release a beta 2 (or final version
or what ever we decide...)

I fixed the message deleting issue that garfy found and updated the
language files a bit.

I notice that Dengen has committed fixes for 28, 29, and 30. Thanks
for getting to it. I notice the issues still have a status of accepted
in the bug tracker. Can I update those to fixed or are you not
finished yet?

Thanks

Maybe, I think it's solved. Wish to validate.

I checked my log after working on the other issue and I didn't notice
any problems. Can we get this tested again on the demo site Rouslan
(since that was where most of these issues where found)?

I guess it should be tested again

I'd say, lets roll out beta2 and get that tested, instead of testing
some intermediate development snapshot.

How about this weekend (if we manage) for beta 2?

From what I can see, there are only two more issues to iron out anyway.
The multi-byte support (including geshi) and the references to tables,
so I guess that we are not that far now. Anything else that I'm missing?

Rouslan

[Tom]

Dengen got the multi-byte support done a few commits ago. I double
checked geshi.php and their already is a workaround for the one time
it uses mb_substr (unless I missed something) so that is all finished
up.

So the only thing left is the tables thing.

Lets do a Beta 2 this weekend then.

Tom

[Rouslan Placella]

OK, I pushed that quick fix for the tables issue. I guess what's left
is:
* Tell plugin developers that need to communicate with the forum
tables to use PLG_getItemInfo or at the very least the new
table references. How are we going to go about this?

* Schedule a date or a version for the removal of this deprecated
code (I'm thinking v2.10.0)

Tom, would you have the time to write an announcement, tag, package and
release the beta 2?

Rouslan

[Tom]

I will, though I may end up doing it Friday (tomorrow).

Since we don't update the version number in these releases I will
mention in the post not use on a production site (since their is the
possibility of table changes if a bug is found) .

Re deprecated code: 2.10.0 sounds fine with me,

Re tables: Someone will need to update the readme file with the
information. We should also include the information in the
announcement post of the final release on Geeklog.net and Geeklog.jp

Beta 2 has now been released.

[Rouslan Placella]

@Tom: I noticed a few things that I'd like to bring up concerning the
release of beta 2.

I saw that you packaged the release as a zip file, but I think that we
should use the '.tar.gz' format (beta1 was shipped in this format), with
compression level 9, the resulting file is about 20% smaller. And
geeklog can natively handle uploads in this format. Any objections?

Also I think that it's a good idea to TAG releases in mercurial, I've
just added a tag for the beta2 in the repo.

And finally, I thought that we agreed not to ship the "docs/example"
folder. I mean, I can already imagine someone on a geeklog version other
than 1.8.0, just overwriting those templates with potentially
unpredictable results. I guess that we should just supply information
about which code snippet to paste in which file rather than providing
the actual files.

Bye,
Rouslan

No I do not have a problem with that except I haven't found a half
decent windows solution that allows me to compress using that format.
I currently only have solutions for zip and rar. I was going to ask
you to compress it but ... I didn't :-)

Did you want to re-compress and I can update the article with the new
link?

I did, I must have forgot to to push the change.

Yeah it is coming back to me. For the final release I will have to
update the readme files.

I guess that we can live with that for a beta.

IIRC, 7zip ( http://www.7-zip.org/ ) does a good job of handling .tar.gz
files under windows.

Hope that the tag that I pushed won't give you trouble next time you
pull...

Excellent, thanks :)

Beta 2 is now live on demo.geeklog.net without any issues that I know
of. Feel free to give it a spin there, if you like.
