Minutes of the Bugzilla meeting

[Frédéric Buclin]

We had a Bugzilla meeting on May 23:

http://bugzilla.glob.com.au/irc/?c=bugzilla-meeting&a=date&s=23+May+2006&e=23+May+2006


* We plan to have a development release (2.23.2) very soon now. The most 
important changes are the Authentication code rewrite and the 
implementation of the Automatic Upgrade Notification feature (this 
feature should land very soon now, just before the release). The 
Authentication stuff requires special attention to avoid security holes 
and/or regressions in our next release later this year. Please play with 
it and report any bug you may find.

* We need LDAP testers. If you use LDAP, help us testing it! :)

* Now that the Authentication code has been rewritten and that we can 
use Bugzilla->params->{'foo'} instead of Bugzilla::Config::Param('foo'), 
we can go on with the removal of versioncache and globals.pl. There is a 
good hope that they will be removed on time, i.e. before the end of the 
month.

* We will probably be late with the rewrite of Bug.pm though (the 
roadmap says "July" for it). If you want to see the Bugzilla 3.0 release 
on time, feel free to contribute. :)

* Testopia reached its 1.0 beta stage. You can download it at 
http://landfill.bugzilla.org/testopia/testopia-1.0-beta.tar.gz and test 
it at http://landfill.bugzilla.org/testopia/. [Note: Testopia 1.0 beta 
has been released one week after the meeting. But as we are late with 
the minutes, let's give you updated information]

* You can now use Bugzilla::Object to write new objects more easily.

* No improvements about charts are expected in the near future, due to a 
lack of developers working on them. All contributions are welcome though.

* Our next meeting will take place on Tuesday June, 6th at 18:00 GMT, as 
usual.
