410769 - Status Update for 3.1.3

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect)

Description

[Emmanuel Seyman]

We need a status update.

We definitely want to mention the work on Oracle support and, on a related note, perhaps the database transaction stuff.

I'm not certain I want a status update when we don't have a trunk release. It might encourage too many people to use our unstable HEAD.

Attachment: Status Update

I see the point but :

- We haven't released a status update in 6 months. Our users have no idea what we're doing.
- a number of important things have happenned (Oracle support finally becoming reality, YUI).

I've given my best shot at it.
Feel free to use it or close this bug as WONTFIX as you see fit.

Manu, the patch will probably not apply correctly without some context. Replacing an empty line with some text will fail for sure. Use cvs diff -3 -puN.

Also, in your patches please use FIXME, not "XXX".

I'm going to defer this to the 3.1.3 release.

This will need a deep review as I'm not  sure to having picked up all the new important features and improvements for this release.

First draft of the Update Status page

><P>Here are some highlights:</P>

This looks great. Here are some additional highlights which should be added IMO:

- Many useless intermediate pages have been removed, especially in admin pages.
- You can now add comments to bugs using XML-RPC.
- Another new type of custom fields has been implemented: a Date/Time field.


><P>Those looking to get involved with Bugzilla development may want to

I think we should mention newly created groups, see http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Bugzilla:Teams. Could you resubmit a patch with these few comments fixed?
