Hi Guys,
Alessandro, what kind of batteries are you running on. It seems
like you are modifying changes on a daily bases. Kudos to you man.
I know that I have had troubles with the upgrade script from the
early days. I think I might dread the upgrade from 0.8.1 to the next
version with Alessandro's crypt to md5 and other database
modifications. If it works, I'll be smiling...just wonder how things will
fall when I try. I can help work on the upgrade script when everyone
thinks it is time to release so that no one has to face the problems early
birds usually have to endure. But let me know when you think it's time.
Also... I would like to vote or suggest that in the future,
uprades have to made sequentially. For example...no jumping. 0.8.1
must go to 0.8.2 and not straight to 0.8.3 when the time comes. This ways
we can clean the upgrade script and have no problems with technical support
for different versions. I mean, how can I possibly help IHAD on bug
tracker with version 0.7.9 when I don't use that anymore. Or someone who
asks what version am I using when they think they have 0.7.6. I wouldn't
be able to remember since I haven't touched that in a long time. The
changes would require maintaining older versions so that people can
upgrade. This might be an issue with Jeremy. More work for him. Or
maybe an announcement to maintain older versions for up to 1-2
years? Even less. I don't know, just a suggestion.
