[Core-lan-org-devel] Big updating in CVS

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I've spent the last few weeks doing big updates to the CVS.  

I started by turning off global variables, and I found all kinds of
horror stories within...

No functionality changes, just some very serious bugfixing.  I've lost
track of what I've done :)  The changes are all recorded in the CVS over
several checkins, but some highlights that I remember are are:

- changed to global variables turned off throughout the code

- serious bugfixing to tasks, usergroups and users

- project list now lets admin see all projects (!), and all users can
see usergroups with global access on

- users can't get file list for a usergroup they aren't entitled to

- major bugfixing to forums (zero's and null mixed up)

- when deleting a thread in a forum, all the children messages are now
deleted too.  Previously they became orphaned in the database until the
associated task was deleted.  Not good.

- had another go at time registration

What I haven't fixed is rendering in browsers other than IE.  

I've done the bugfixing is small steps, heavily testing between; there
shouldn't be any lingering problems from the editing - I hope.  I'll
test again over the next few days, might be a few small typos that I've
missed.

I think the CVS is now stable; I don't see much need for me to do more
work on it at present.

Regards

Andrew
