release candiates - anyone?

Filed under: ZenMagick — DerManoMann @ 4:01 am

I’ve been trying to get a release together for quite some time now, but as laid out before, I was unable to resist to add this ‘last new feature’ before releasing.

Due to the massive amount of changes (even though old themes will be good with a handful of small changes) I think I’ll actually have a release candidate before doing a proper one.

There are currently three remaining issues, though:

  • Creole
    The script to “import” the Creole code (read: fiddle around to make it work with ZMLoader) is still custom and ideally I’d prefer to have a single compressed creole.php file rather than the single files. This will require splitting the core compressor code into a generic bit and the ZenMagick specific parts. Once that is done I’ll be able to compress individual folder and subtrees just as needed.
  • Release notes
    My old nemesis. With the growing number of changes it’s becoming imperative to have some good release notes so people can make an informed decision about whether they want to upgrade or not.
    Also, it should contain enough details to make theme migration an easy task
  • Time
    As some of you might have noticed I am not online a lot at the moment. There are some good, personal reasons for that so expect this continue for a while.

If anyone is interested to give the current code a try let me know and I’d be happy to put a custom build together for you (there is also the option of accessing the trunk code directly at sourceforge.)
