[Phpwiki-talk] Are we ready for a 1.4 beta 1?

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Hey Reini,

Given the volume and scope of commits over the weekend, do you think 
the code base (and user auth feature set) are stable enough for a 1.4 
beta release, or would you recommend a 1.3.8 for the time being?

I called it now 1.3.8a.
Lets call it 1.3.8 until page permissions are implemented and WikiGroups 
  are used. This will be a real 1.4 then.
I'm having much more time now - until April - to finish this properly.

I'm not finished yet with testing and still fixing some bugs.
I wanted to release early to comment on the config opts, and let other 
people find some bugs esp. with _DbPassUser and the various auth policies.

ADODB is much faster but a mess to maintain with the current 
FETCH_ASSOC, which returns hashes instead of easier to maintain numeric 
arrays. That's why we have to use correct column alias names. I don't 
like it.

Sounds good. We should probably recommend 1.3.7 for the time being if 
people want a stable featureful Wiki, however, and 1.3.8 and thereafter 
are in a state of flux.

I'll roll out 1.3.8 tonight or tomorrow.

Couldn't you just wait a week until I'm finished with testing?

Sure! Just ask :o)

Currently, the nightly build is broken:

lib/DB_Session.php:31: Fatal[256]: Your WikiDB does not seem to be 
using a Pear DB backend

lib/config.php:404: Notice[1024]: The admin password cannot be empty. 
Please update your /index.php

Could you please change your checkout script to do a
chmod -R g+w afterwards.
Maybe you should also do a cvs up -C in the subdirs only to get a clean 
cvs copy. lib/main.php was broken because of a failed patch.

Or I would prefer to have a clean index.php also and use test as php 
script below the test dir, rename the test dir to <any-dir>,
test calls <any-dir>/index.php, so we can overrule the default settings 
more easily. and we could test PrettyWiki urls (USE_PATH_INFO=true) as 
before.

fine. looks much better now, but there are so many options to test.
