I didn’t get a lot of coding done this week – mostly due to increased forum traffic (good!) and working on the site redesign (also good!).

It’s nice to see the number of active users in the forum slowly grow. So far the forum has generated more feedback, input and inspiration that its sourceforge sibling has done in the past four years!

The coding I did get done was mostly cleaning up the toolbox classes. I finally decided that since I wanted to do that anyway it would be best to get themes more or less stable ASAP.

I also fixed the core.php generating code. As a side effect it should now also be possible to drop the trailing ?> of all ZenMagick core files [hear that,  Raine;)]

I also started working on creating a zenmagick skin for the wiki. So far this just means it looks like the default monobook, just with a lot less code I also found a new analytics plugin, so I don’t have to remember to update the skin file any more – yay!

Beside that I, like many others, I guess, struggled with the recent Firefox update. It’s been a bit bumpy to start with, but slowly the add-ons are getting their act together and don’t crash any more (I do not know any specifics, but it suddenly stopped again after updating like mad).

Finally, as I write this I am uploading a new snapshot with all the stuff that changed since 0.9.8. Be aware that themes are still work in progress. The changelog has details about all methods and other bits and pieces that changed. In particular the theme info class got removed and replaced by a yaml file (theme.yaml for all themes). The default/demo themes should be example enough to figure out what to do. Alternatively, creating a new theme with the theme builder should also create a new theme.yaml file that can be used for existing themes (unless, of course, they to special things in the theme info class; I doubt it, though)
