Upcoming 1.0.3 Needs Testing
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:02 pm
Work has been proceeding on the CMS trunk since 1.0.2 was delivered. There are a number of bugs fixes, and even a significant number of enhancements (for a point release).
Recently though, in order to integrate other products (like Zencart) into CMS Made simple, some simple, but far reaching changes needed to be done. Namely, some simple changes needed to be done in a relatively large amount of files to eliminate the need for a global $db object. This effects mostly the admin interface, and shouldn't effect the frontend or module interfaces as much.
We would encourage everybody to do some testing on the latest trunk SVN release of CMS Made simple, or at the least, the latest nightly builds (starting tonite). Please report any errors you found relating to methods called on unknown objects or other such errors, particularly those errors in core files. Errors may also be found in (hopefully non core) modules that are erroneously relying on a global $db object. It would be useful to know of these as well, though we're not sure if they'll get fixed in time for 1.0.3. Errors in core modules will ofcourse be fixed.
The development team has spent considerable time adding functionality and fixing bugs for 1.0.3, and we hope that this is the last maintenance release before the next feature release, so any help you can give is appreciated.
Please post any questions you may have here, or send a message to the appropriate dev team member. When posting, please either post the latest revision number (if using the current SVN version), or your daily build date so that we're not chasing our tails unneccisarily.
Thanks for your time and patience.
