Some bug fixes and additional features have been added to 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

For those that know how to download them off svn/trac and read the changes on trac, we’d appreciate some testing before a wide release tomorrow.

Notable on the 0.9 are my fast recount functions that will really help large sites, be sure to backup your db “just in case”.

no fast recount on the 1.0?

[@_ck_ Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

A quick glance looks like Sam has ported the fast recount queries into 1.0 as well.

Note that not all of the recount functions are optimized yet but a few are vastly improved.

I highly recommend people learn how to install bbPress (and wordpress) via SVN, it makes life incredibly easy. You can switch between bbPress versions in a heartbeat, test new betas or jump back to the previous version effortlessly.

See this topic for more info:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress

and my note at the end on how to install SVN as a simple client instead of the whole darn thing.

I’ve discovered that several of my plugins that have admin menus will not be able to access the admin menu in bbPress 0.9.0.7 and 1.0.3 because of the new admin menu security lockdown that was merged from WordPress 2.8.3 (essentially I didn’t go through the API for bbPress 0.8 compatibility).

I’ve now fixed what I can find but there will be other plugins with the same problem.

There’s an issue with RSS feeds not validating. The problem appears to stem from » in the titles (rss.php) so I swapped them all with ::.

It now validates. It did work fine in Safari, but Firefox and IE threw up errors. Will report in trac…

Feed validation for this thread: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbbpress.org%2Fforums%2Frss%2Ftopic%2Fcall-for-testers-on-the-09-branch-and-10-trunk

There’s also a recommendation to not use <textInput>.

Just got the trunk, still no joy with the front page pagination issue.

Also, is there any SQL commands to update, because the trunking broke the recount feature in the admin panel.

not a complaint, just an observation, but

We’re all a bit worried… hopefully Sam is doing ok!

[@ashfame Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

I think Sam doesn’t work for Automattic anymore. Check this link : http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/860-future-bbpress-undecided.html

Moreover he isn’t listed here too : http://automattic.com/about/

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Very interesting, and sad for the project to lose Sam, if that’s the case.

[@tomdebruin Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

just had two revisions come through on 0.9 and trunk by mdawaffe. Is he our new esteemed leader?

It sure looks like he is!

[@jleuze Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

Disregard my last post, that link is ooooold as dirt

Let’s cross our fingers that someone is on the job though!
