* FTP Incoming directory
Due to the recent move, no one can move things out of the incoming
directory any longer. I've already notified Jeremy and it should
be fixed as soon as he lands and checks his mail.
* CVS Snapshots
On hold because the CVS permissions are messed up. I can't check
stuff in, make diffs, or anything else. Fix estimated time is as
per the FTP mention.
* Bugs
Rick Glover <magik@thegrid.net> sent me about 22 different bugs.
I've fixed 20/22 and will get the others probably shortly. Also
squashed one from Andrey Fidrya <andrey@alex-ua.com> yesterday.
* Future
I've been looking at glib 1.1.5 lately and it looks really nice.
I'll be working on a proof-of-concept edition versus bpl14 to
see what I can do with the CircleMUD code. If you're interested,
check out ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/. It's Library GPL'd and
seems really nice for portability, even to Windows.
If the concept turns out worth it, I'll develop the bpl14-fork
separately for a while until we're ready for new stuff in the
new CircleMUD 4.0. [*] This does mean it'll be behind in a lot
of bug fixes but in reality I'll probably learn later I did
something a stupid way and implement it better the second time
anyway.
I'll be around during Thanksgiving break (starting NOW, hehe) but I don't
think Jeremy will be around more due to personal obligations.
- [*] - I'm tired of saying '3.2', '3.x (x>1)', '3.5', or '4.0' so I'm just
going to finalize the version number as '4.0'. If we don't end
up calling it that it won't be a big deal but I have enough changes
planned to warrant it anyway. :)
