Hi Lars, first of all I want to apologies for the commits - I simply did not get the message of the feature freeze. I looked at my (private) mail and the website, but I didn't see any notice about a feature freeze. I'm sorry but I was not able to follow the lists, I would have taken simply to much time ...
Anyway I'm back and happy to work again on eGroupWare and specially the next release from Monday next week on. I might again not be able to answer questions on the lists 'til Monday, as I'm working on a climbing competition (away from home) 'til then. Beside the feature freeze I want to ask for the inclusion for the last commits, as they are: 1. quite a big usability improvement (you can now switch columns in every list (of eTemplate apps) on and off via a simple checkbox. That allows to show a lot information (columns) not necessarily useful for everyone, but required by some people / usage cases. There's a programmatic default and admin can also specify a default. That's a long wanted and talked about (new) feature. The changes in the code are not big and work quite well. The problems after the first commit were caused by the not included app.css file by the home page, which is now fixed. 2. distribution lists for the addressbook are a long wanted feature and have even been on the roadmap for 1.4 - thought I had to postpone them because of to little time. 3. these feature also include some bugfixes I came along while working on the new code. I ask to include these fixes (base the 1.4 branch on the up to date trunk), and promises to not commit and new features, without further discussion on the lists to the 1.4 branch. If noone plans / works on new features at the moment, I would even suggest to remove the 1.4 branch again, as to early release branches are delaying a release more then they help creating it. I will actively work on getting out the 1.4 release, before starting any new development! Again I'm sorry for ignoring the feature freeze and I'm happy to be back working on eGW next week :-) Ralf PS.: I will probably not be able to read the developer list, before next week. Everything on the users list posted in the last 3 month, I will simply ignore, as I dont have the time to read and answer it.
