The release of 1.7 is coming up. Without actually setting a deadline just yet, everyone please check if there's still stuff in 1.7 which needs to be fixed in your “area of development” and report here if so.

This is basically to give Garvin an idea how much work needs to be done before actually considering a release, so it would be good if you could give a rough estimate as to how much time everyone needs to fix stuff.

Does that really help opening another thread...?

none of these links really a showstopper - just some quickies:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19056 (utf8 check)
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19061 (pimp serendipity_event_smartymarkup)?
sorry, only 4 url links allowed here:

- wait for the smarty upcoming 3.1.13 release (Jan/Feb...?)
- check for other STRICT and fatal errors while using new PHP versions (i.e. ...Only variables should be assigned by reference)
- release a RC candidate without downgrading error reporting to production release behaviour (to fix as much as we can).

I don't have the time to read through all threads, so a simple pointer thread like this helps me a LOT.

Should IMO be circumventable, see thread

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18876 (pimp spartacus - new dashboard feature request)

I cannot offer to do this.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19056 (utf8 check)

The s9y plugin files themselves are ISO-encoded, not UTF-8 - I think this is the reason.

This indeed sucks. However I'm not deep enough into the Smarty3 stuff to understand why this no longer works

Should be a thing for 2.0 more than 1.7

IMO should also be something for 2.0 instead of 1.7

- wait for the smarty upcoming 3.1.13 release (Jan/Feb...?)

Do you know if there is a release pending? I would like to release a RC for 1.7 definitely, as soon as I can find the time. Hopefully January->February. Once the RC is released, no Smarty3 upgrade should be performed. So I guess this is a question whether Smarty3 .1.13 is available before the day of the RC release. Ideally, the 1.7 RC is IMO more important than waiting for a Smarty3 change, what do you think?

No, I don't know any time in special. It was just a guess. If its there before, I'll push it.
Well, a possible Smarty bugfix release should not let us wait to push out a 1.7 RC. These pending bugfixes until now are just very rare cases (not really used by S9y) and don't change anything of the core features, as far as I know. So even a later addition to an already published RC should not really harm in my eyes!

I don't think it has something to do with Smarty3, as also happening prior. It is the (bad) limitation to not use any smarty delimiters (like in code samples a.s.o), which are not Smarty Tags, in any text body fields parsed by the smartymarkup plugin.

[Timbalu]

I just remembered these (old) feature requests (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17268):

Implement by core?:

• find orphaned media items (lux)
• delete multiple users at once (don)

Implement by Plugin?:

• find entry-linked media items + sortable and pass to frontend (mattsches, lux)
• check entry related external links for existence (lux)

Is that something for 1.7?

I addded multidelete images to 2.0 last May - should we backport that too?

Some minor things:

– I just updated 2k11 to the latest version in master and 2.0. I don't think there will be any more fixes until 1.7, 2k11 is pretty much “done” and only receives minor updates from time to time. So in terms of 2k11, we're good to go.

– Naming convention branches vs tags: As of now, we have a branch named “1.6” and a tag named “1.6”. I'm not a 100% sure, but I think this is what produces

Code: Select all

matthias at yl-mba in ~/GitHub/Serendipity on 2.0
$ git checkout 1.6
warning: refname '1.6' is ambiguous.
Switched to branch '1.6'

(because “1.6” could reference the branch or the tag). So maybe starting with 1.7, we should prefix the branch or the tag with “v”. I suggest to prefix the tags, but just because I guess we all type “git checkout 1.x” more often.

– To keep https://github.com/s9y/Serendipity/tags tidy, we might want to delete the v1.4 and svn tags at some point. I know it's basically nuts and bolts, but it would give us a cleaner download archive on GitHub.

Hi!

Ok, so I'll try to put the 1.7-RC1 (actually, simlpy 1.7-alpha1, for the error reporting...) online this week, is that okay? For better maintenance I'll only create the "1.7" branch and "t1.7" github tag for the actual final release, yes?

Best regards,
Garvin

No objections from my end.

Fine for me. Did you get my answers, Garvin?

Maybe its worth to rethink pushing the RC without setting it to production state, since we want some people to help us testing and who would like to push that to a poductive blog...? On the other hand I think the smarty change is pretty stable though, so our really need are some intensive PHP5.4 testers to get rid of the possible error_reporting notes still residing somewhere in the deep.
It would also work out to just post an official blog and forum text to help us testing an "anounced" master as "RC", zip a current master, rename alpha to RC1, remove the test dir, and offer that zip file, wouldn't it?!
Hmmm, I dont really know which way would be the best. Just wanted to mention it before weekend... Please, do what might be best in your eyes.

IMHO, tagging the release to "s9y-1.7" would be much nicer

I've been running a test blog on 1.7 for months (because of the Uberspace subdomain issue), albeit not on PHP 5.4. It seems fairly stable. Then again, it's just a test blog.

Hi!

1.7-rc1 is here (non-production, so we should get our errors if they occur): http://blog.s9y.org/archives/243-Serend ... idate.html

[yellowled]

FYI: Garvin just withdraw the 1.7RC1 due to an issue with older/deprecated plugins, e.g. browser compatibility, which will need to be fixed before the next RC.

Hi!

RC2 has now been posted. Keep the fingers crossed.
