Busy Week

by Matt Mecham on July 15, 2005

Well, that was a busy week.

Two BETA releases, over two dozen bug fixes and I still made time to move my blog from Typepad’s hosted service to a fresh MT installation on IPS hosting.

There’s not a lot to report at this stage. BETA testing is going well and with fewer bugs that I expected considering the huge amount of changes since IPB 2.0.4. I wanted to make another beta release so that I didn’t have to face a forum full of re-posted bug reports this coming Monday. The bugs that have been fixed are easy to find and will definitely result in someone else discovering them and posting them. Fast releases always keeps the blood pumping too.

Next week will see everything bar the ACP language packs finished which will allow me to go back to IP.Dynamic which I’m looking forward to doing. We (Charles, Lindy, Josh and I) have been using it at a secret location for reasons I won’t disclose and we’ve all got some ideas and ways to improve it. I also need to upgrade some core coding to bring it up to IPB 2.1 level which won’t take long.

See you next week…

Yes, i think thoose bugs there is are small, most of the bugs is because some things are not finish, an still after the release of 2.1 beta 3 there is not so many bugs ;D so yes Matt you also have done it this time ;)

Where do you get the time from? I don’t have a job atm, but don’t have enough time to do that much work as you did in the past months.

Well it IS his job, and he’s just very good at it :P

Just a suggestion. But could you show use movie/screenshots of what you have of IPD so far?

11 Franklin July 17, 2005 at 4:33 pm

@ Logan, yes but he does so much at the same and still has time to read books and watch movies…

Matt’s on the roll again, spitting out fix after fix.. Let’s all hope for a beta4 (or better yet, a pf1?) this week. That’d be sweet.

GO MATT!!!!!!!

Nothing to see but the RSS feed seems not to be updated. The most recent entry in the feed is “[IPB 2.1] ACP Permisions”

17 Vitaly August 19, 2005 at 12:05 pm

ACP Language Packs delayed for future version? :(
