[phpBT-dev] Testing of pre-phpBT 1.1

[Ulf E. <ulf...@fa...>]

Hi All!

Enough features and fixes have been added to phpBugTracker since the 1.0
release. It is time to prepare for a v1.1 release. Hopefully this can be
done quickly.

First step will be a rough functionality test. Download the CVS HEAD
version and start with a fresh, empty, database. Add some users, add
some bugs, try out the new features.

I would like to hear from as many testers as possible what system you
are using (OS+version, web server+version, database+version and php
version) and what your results are. If you would be able to check
whether upgrades from 1.0.1 work too that would be great.

Note: Upgrades are currently disabled. Unless you know what you do (and
are working with a copy of your backed-up data) don't enable it ;-)

As soon as it looks like the code is stable enough to benefit from more
serious testing there will be a beta available for download and an
announcement to the phpbt-users mailing list.

Below is the CHANGELOG since 1.0.1

Thanks
/Ulf
