Burlan 1.1 Beta 1

Well, obviously the new Bugdar 1.1 (“Burlan”) Beta 1 has been released. Accompanying it is this gorgeous new Blue Static web site that will be the new home of Bugdar!

So, about Bugdar 1.1.0 Beta 1:

There are two known bugs. The first is #25 in which deleting a comment doesn’t update the last post information. The second isn’t reported and is more of something I want to fix. The drop-down for product selection will have a blank row inserted when a product has only components and no direct versions. I don’t really know how to fix this as don’t show up without having at least one

As for the release itself, I’m quite pleased with how far this has come since the 1.0.0 Alpha days with all kinds of scary code all over the place :P. Bugdar 1.1 will be a huge improvement over 1.0 in that it introduces much more OOP code through APIs and cleaned-up classes to handle notifications, history, and other data. To give you an idea of how many new classes were added, Bugdar 1.0 had 13 files total in the includes/ directory. In Bugdar 1.1, there are 28–more than double the previous amount!

Bugdar 1.1 also takes advantage of version 2 of the ISSO framework, which is excellent because it means that I can finally drop version 1! Even though ISSO2 is just finally reaching full adoption, I’m already thinking about version 3–but that’s a whole different post.
