Subject: [geeklog-devel] The next steps towards 1.3.12
Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

I think we should start wrapping up a few things to get towards a 1.3.12
release eventually.

The biggest 3 open issues I see at the moment are

1) The generic new/edit/delete plugin API extensions we just talked about.

2) Trackback etc.
Work needed here: Add a trackback counter to the stories table (just like
the comments counter); some code to handle timeouts better; allow resends.

3) The external authorisation stuff
Have to refresh my memory what the remaining open issues here actually were.


Once those are done, I'd like us to do a beta release (or "technology
preview" or whatever) to get some user feedback on the new features.
Adding (or even removing) features after that point would still be
possible (as opposed to Release Candidates). I just happen to think that
we could use some input from our users at this point.


I'm pretty busy at work at the moment, so I will probably not have too
much time to work on these things during the week for at least the next 2
weeks. I could handle #1 and #2 (especially #1, since I need that
functionality in plugins I'm working on).

Is anyone willing / interested in taking care of #3?

bye, Dirk

Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

Well, I think have things working out correctly for slashes in comment
titles.  With the code I've been working on (tested with
magic_quotes_gpc both on and off), slashes work correctly.  The
problem is that older databases, with comments that date before the
winter of 2002, seem to have slashes in the database (as opposed all
comments created since).  The downside to my fix (and any fix possible
at this point) is those older comments will have the slashes that are
in the database displayed.

I'm going to go ahead and check in the changes.  We can always back
them out later.

Laters,
Vinny
