Re: [Mantisbt-help] Mantis 0.19.0 release?

[Sheryl C. <sh...@pe...>]

Hi Victor,

I had another question... I've fixed some problems with notifications in my
own copy of Mantis, but so far they are somewhat kludgey. I hesitate to do a
signficant rewrite and then be permanently out of sync with the Mantis
development effort. I have been thinking of asking about joining the Mantis
development team so my fixes can be folded into the whole.

I've never participated in an open source project and don't know how this
works. Would it be possible for me to join the team and rework this piece?

Another piece I've been thinking of adding on my own is an email interface
for posting reports and bugnotes. Again, I'd much rather do this as part of
the Mantis project so I'm not out of sync.

Please let me know if this is possible, and how I'd go about it.

Hi Sheryl,

> Does anyone know when Version 0.19.0 will be released?
The planned time frame for 0.19.0 is early June.

> How come there are no interim builds available with some of the fixes?
Due to the magnitude of the feature in 0.19.0, it is hard to release
interim "stable" releases that are well tested and documented.  However,
we are reducing the scope of 0.19.0 to be able to deliver it on the
mentioned time frame.  With regards to applying the fix on two branches,
it just takes too much of our resources.

If you have a specific bug that is already fixed and you need to apply
it to your 0.18.2 installation, join the IRC channel and we may be able
to help you.

Regards,
Victor.
