Bugdar.
It’s been a long time since I’ve written. I’ve been rather busy with choosing the university I’ll be attending next year, graduating, and then attending an endless stream of parties. But now it’s time to talk about Bugdar.
Initially, I was intending to release the final version of Bugdar this week, however due to a major database change (in the upgrade script, you will be asked to convert your MySQL database collation to utf8_general_ci) a Release Candidate was necessary because I did not feel comfortable releasing a final version with such a big change without a previous public release. I ask all users, though especially those running Bugdar with a non-English language, using the 1.2.0 beta to please upgrade to RC1 and evaluate using the database conversion script and then running their board with utf8_general_ci.
If all goes well with this Release Candidate, then I hope to release the final version of Bugdar sometime next week.
I know this is a bit off topic but you should get a forum so we can get support and also chat with other people who use this good software and i am happy to see you have RC1 out 🙂
Any ETA on the release version?
I want to integrate the new version with my membership site and also my support system. This is an awesome application! Thanks!
Chris: I’ve thought about a forum, but I’m not sure how many people would use it. I can try adding one in the next few weeks to see how it goes.
RAD Moose: I aim to get it out during the first week of July, provided enough people download the RC so that it’s in high enough distribution to get a good test. Currently only 30 people have downloaded it, compared to 200 for Beta 3.
And thanks both of you for the kind words!
