There was suppose to be a Bug Release released earlier in the week however CVS has had some issues and at the moment have no access to it on this computer to update and release. I have started up subversion and put an updated version of v1.2.1 in the repository. I will also update the Demo website to the latest version which will be v1.2.2 when its released later today.

A windows patch fix which was suppose to be issued in this release has kind of been put off due to this issue, it will be fixed before v1.3.0 however.

I have just released v1.2.1 this update has several bug fixes including MySQL 5 table aliases this release should be the first release that supports MySQL 5 correctly please make sure you submit bugs for this issue. Some other fixes include [list=numbered]
[*]Send to friend undefined variable
[*]DTD file for WBSML added and path corrected
[*]Comments user could add XSS code which would affect usability and system security.
[*]Fixed RSS Feed with only validating against & and < characters to display CDATA

[/list]There are several more fixes included.

Another bug which although is yet to be tested if it affects WB News has been brought to my attention just prior to this release. I will be testing to see if it does affect WB News and if so what it actually affects.

Just a reminder that WB News is now in CVS, there currently isn't any anonymous access, I am working on this and there are a few things which still need to be sorted out. I'll post back when there is more to say.

Bug Fix to be released

Paul Mcilwaine

Thu 6th Apr 2006 04:31PM

There have been a few bugs reported some that were reported before the release of v1.2.0 but didn't make the deadline to be fixed. I am aiming at releasing this just after Easter. There are a few bugs that deal with security which are not critical. Also MySQL 5 and table Aliases will be fixed for this release, there have been several Emails as well as requests on the forums about the issue of MySQL 5 and Queries not running correctly.

I also have WB News set up as a project on sourceforge its been on for almost a Month now and will be this weekend adding files there ready for development for v1.3.0.

Just to finish off have been asked to give a TODO/Roadmap list of what will be happening over the next few versions so I will release this shortly as there is one available just not to the public.

WB News v1.2.0 has finally been released it is not a be upgrade compared to most with a lot of proposed features put back to a later release, please remember to upgrade as soon as possible as well as report any Bugs so they can be fixed.

I am also happy to announce that we have Subversion server now located on Sourceforge.net. It will allow WB News to finally have a central repository for source code, as well as better allow other developers the chance to participate in the development of WB News.

Release Update

Paul Mcilwaine

Fri 24th Feb 2006 05:35PM

Progress has been a lot slower than usual for v1.2.0. I was hoping to have this version out last week, however a few things have forced to delay the release. I plan to now have it released late this week, early the following week. This will be the last version offering support to 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 as it is quite old now and WB News has changed quite a bit since.

Its highly recommended that when it is released all users upgrade as soon as possible, as it has a few Bug Fixes and additional functionality. I am also looking for 1 or 2 Developers to help out with the project. Previously there was 3 however due to personal commitments can no longer help out. Feel free to contact myself via the Support Link or even the forums if you wish to help out, please make sure you leave some way to be able to be contacted. I will post something later on about what skills you should have and what will be happening.
