Bugdar 2.0 β Phase 1 Complete

I’m pleased to announce today that Bugdar 2.0’s first development phase has been completed. During this phase, all of the Bugdar code was ported to the ISSO3 framework, allowing it take full advantage of property access control, static functions, and the latest ISSO3 conventions.

The point of this phase was to upgrade the ISSO method calls to make refactoring code a simpler process. Had this first phase not upgraded ISSO-based code, the refactoring phase (phase 4) would have been twice as long and twice as much effort because the underlying ISSO code would be out-of-date.

Next in Bugdar’s development is the admin control panel rewrite. Before this can happen, however, a new ISSO3 module must be developed to make creating the admin interface easier. This will include removing the BSPrinter classes (which currently use PHP functions to generate HTML) and replacing it with well-designed CSS style sheets that will be used in templates in the Admin CP.

Separation of the view-controller logic in the Admin CP will make the code more agile and will allow for a more intuitive interface because the HTML will not be generated via on-the-fly code, but rather by designed HTML.

Congratulations. I’m also developing an open source software project, it is Maryan Linux Project, which is a Linux distribution (based on Ubuntu and Arch Linux).

We are currently using your excellent, flexible and powerful bug tracker as our first tool for developing an increasing our quality.

I want to say Thanks you for this software, I’m working hard in the translation of Bugdar in to Spanish language.

I don’t know a lot about programming, but If I can help you in something, I’ll be pleased to assist you.

Thanks for your time in Bugdar 2.0, ML’s community is very anxious wawiting for the next release.

Cheers
