SE Future...

well I was thinking of 'what new features' /enhancements we are to be blessed with in 1.3?

[Jeff Lewis]

We have tested 9 releases of the 1.3 version.  Each release includes bug fixes, code changes etc.

We're currently waiting for a couple more things and then should release the tenth release sometime this weekend.

As long as it goes fine..it should be very soon.

Today, Joseph and I combined cleared up 6 bugs including some in the bug tracker.  Greg should have two of them also cleared out of there for the weekend.

It's coming guys...

[kurgan]

ok so 1.3 is a maintenance /bugfix release? (not a feature release?)

[Webby]

I guess it is both.  

Will there be a solution for the generated passwords that often don't seem to work (and are too long), and the "forgot password" option, that also doesn't work ??

Also, are we talking about days now, or are we still talking about weeks, because a lot of people on my board want the MSN, I want the solution for the passwords, etc, etc ??

[Jeff Lewis]

it's got a lot of new features, all are in place here.  There's MSN, different notification options, take a look around.  if you're running 1.1.0 and your board doesn't have someting that it here...

I'll put a list together sometime soon.

As for the password thing, maybe you guys can bug Joseph or Omar to work on it?

[Webby]

But that is a major bug isn't it ?

Isn't it supposed to work on the next release ?

Who is the one that made the routine : maybe he can just read this and make it work ??

[Jeff Lewis]

Joseph made it, that's why I said maybe you can bug him

I had a pretty neat one but it won't work on all machines

I guess it is a major bug yeah although it's happened only on a handful of sites

Just IM Joseph or maybe Omar.

hmm so far it looks very yummy indeed, and its great your trying to get rid off as many bugs as possible  

[Webby]

Well, I IM'ed Joseph.......

[edit]

He is looking at it right now

[Joseph Fung]

randomly generated passwords are now only alphanumeric characters (upper and lower case) and a max of 10 characters long

I'm also adding a secret question/password thing so that instead of having a random password mailed to you, you can answer your secret question, and (assuming you get it right) define your new password right there.  I'm doing it to save those schmucks who don't have sendmail configured right on their server.

[Webby]

So this will be in the next release, not a seperate mod/bugfix ?

It's great you got it done so quick !

[Jeff Lewis]

yes it will be in 1.3.0

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

heh... well Joseph did it before I noticed

Good improvement btw.. anyone could ask to remember passwd, and change of another user

ja ne!
