[Fofredux-devel] Of mice and releases and updates and many things

[Andrew T. (nilspace) <nil...@us...>]

Good Holidays team!

I hope everyone {had a wonderful Christmas, is having a wonderful
{Holiday, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa}, will have a most reverential Eid
al-Adha}.

I have released FoFRedux v0.2 to the release system and put up a news
item on the SF site. I'll update the fofredux homepage with the news,
as well as non-MacOSX screen shots (showed the page to my familiy over
the holiday and their first remark was "oh, it only runs on a Mac?")
Much to the contrary. I got a chance to try out one of the new Nokia
770 (nokiausa.com/770) Internet Tablets viewing FoFRedux and it looks
*great*. Much better than the built-in newsreader. I posted
screenshots to the homepage and info to the Nokia 770 forums for extra
traffic :).

For those running off of CVS head, a certain Elf named Kevin has been
adding ADODB support. What the elf didn't leave were instructions for
updating. :) You will need to make sure to do a "cvs up -d" to get the
new adodb/ directory. You also need to add a
    define('FOF_DB_TYPE', "mysql");
to your personal config.php (it was added to config.php.sample).  I
don't know why the error message in the init.php didn't come up
warning me about that.

While debugging this, I turned on error_reporting(E_ALL) and got *a
lot* of warnings about undefined variables being used. Something we
will want to fix as we go along in further development.

Also, look over the roadmap and feature requests and start thinking
about what we want to roll into v0.3.

Thanks again for your dev/testing/documentation efforts. The world is
a better place with FeedOnFeeds back in active development! :)

Andy
