Hi, As some of you may have noticed, we just had 34 commits today into SVN. That's a lot.. and the cause ? the bug report system.. We just deleted all those old bugs that were already fixed or rare or whatever. This made the bugs database shrink from 3 GB of bug reports to 28MB of bug reports... What does this mean basically ? well it means that the bug report system will now be much faster than before since it was VERY slow because it had to deal with half a million bug reports, now there are only 3 thousand (for now). We (phil, tom and me) fixed many of them so far, but there are still a lot to look at. Those of you who want to have a look at it and start fixing, please.. don't hesitate. We have 8 opened 'bugs', and around 1400 'wild bug reports' (those familiar with the bug report system will know what I mean by this). For more info, you can always take a look at : http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/BugDatabaseGuide
If we want to have a 0.97.1 bugfix release, this is the best way to do it.. in the forums, we had very few people reporting bugs, which means that 0.97 is VERY stable (compared to 0.95 or 0.96 for which we got the forums spammed with user reports right after the releases). But if we really want a good quality product, this means we will need to have all our users launch aMSN and use it without ever receiving any 'bug report' from us. That would mean that the product is stable and that's what we'd like to be aiming at. To achieve this, we need to close all those bugs from the bug report system.. some might be 'unfixable', but they still are.. if we see a 'no disk space' error, we need to track down down 'puts' and catch them.. this is the time to make the code more robust.. when we call a function, make sure the return value is correct (I just fixed some like that, where we did a [::ChatWindow::For $chatid] and it returned "0" instead of the chat window path, and added error checking to avoid using the "0" as if it was an actual window). Anything unfixable should be 'catch'-ed or something else.. BUG FIXING TIME IS HERE!!!!!!! have fun! :D KaKaRoTo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
