streber / Overview

As promised, I'm proud to present v0.0803 of Streber. This release includes a number of improvements, bug fixes, and a few new features to boot!

One update in particular I think you'll enjoy is the improved install and upgrade experience.

NOTE: A regression has been reported in the installer. Attempting to install (or upgrade to) v0.0803 using table prefixes will fail. V0.081 will be released shortly and will include a fix. If you require (or already use) table prefixes, please do use v0.0803. More details can be found in New install failing on "add db_version entry"

The next release of Streber, originally planned for May 1st, has been delayed to May 9th. Although the current svn snapshot is in good shape and probably could have been released, there are a few more bugs we'd like to fix before we do. This delay also gives us (and you) extra time to thoroughly test Streber to help make this a stable, sea worthy release.

To get involved, feel free to hop on the #streber IRC channel at irc.freenode.net and see if you can meet up with some of the other users/contributors. The channel is new so there might be no one there or just me, cody-somerville, but you're welcome to idle! :)

Thanks,

The Streber Team

New Release Scheduled

As I'm sure you know, there hasn't been much activity for the last 8-9 months. That is why I'm excited today to announce that the next release of Streber, v0.0803, is scheduled for May 1st, 08. This release will be a maintenance release and so we'll be focusing on bug fixes and general polish the ulterior motive of re-"jump starting" the Streber Project and its community.

Help Streber

Ever wondered how to help contribute to Streber? Well, if you take a look at our task/bug list then you'll have noticed it is a little overgrown! We need clever people such as yourself to help triage.

1. Close old bugs reports
2. Try and reproduce/confirm bug reports.
3. Ensure bug reports have enough details for a developer to deal with it (ie. steps to reproduce, version number, what they expected to happen, etc.).
4. Ask reporters to provide more details/required details if needed.
5. Ensure all fields are set correctly and appropriately (ie. minor bugs should not be marked as critical).
6. Translate bug reports into English.

If you're real keen, hop on #streber and coordinate with others efforts to develop a bug triage guide!

So... Get your gloves on, get a can of raid out, and start debugging!
