Brief Update

27-June-2003

Thanks to Mark Paciga! Mark has taken our 0.05 package and made a load of bug fixes to it! I've wrapped these changes up in the current version, and added a couple of my own, and released it as 0.06.

Mark had in fact made a few changes that were the same (such as making the time stamp friendlier) - that'll teach us for not releasing often enough! Here's a quick summary of what's new

*Should run with "register_globals" set to "Off"
*Displays "To" instead of "From" in Sent Items folder
*Session variables moved to $_SESSION['hail'] to prevent conflicts
*Displays friendlier folder names. (eg. 'sentitems' -> 'Sent Items')
*Folder sort order is now recent-first, same as Hotmail default
*A bit more XHTML compliant. (but still not completely)
*Changed print_email() so it only prints the most important headers
*Fixed display of "msnpromo" folder to accommodate missing date

I personally haven't spent as much time as I would have liked, on Hail over the past few weeks for various reasons (including laziness), but don't worry, I'm spending time on it now. We haven't had much in the way of email from potential users yet, perhaps no-one's interested, perhaps our "todo" list fits everyone's needs :-). I think we're going to start using the sourceforge site for CVS, I'll speak to Justin about using it for news, file releases too. Should we have a phpBB forum page? Let me know what you think!
