1.7.1 bugfix release process

The branch release_eta_carinea_rc1 (so badly named 😡) is now the CVS branch for 1.7.x. Note that the 1.7.x branch is strictly for bugfixes. All new features and changes must be committed to CVS HEAD and not the release_eta_carinea_rc1 branch. Fixes committed to the 1.7.x branch will be merged into HEAD.

When fixing bugs, fix the bug on release_eta_carinea_rc1 then merge with HEAD. Follow the instructions at the bottom of TikiCVSTags to merge.

Developers, please update this page whenever you resolve a bug in this branch. If you need help with CVS, read Cvs17.

If you are not a developer but would like to help test the latest 1.7.1 code, download the following archive, updated every 8 hours from CVS:
http://tikiwiki.org/devtiki-1.7.1.tar.bz2

1.7.1 is tentatively schedule for Wednesday of this week.

Unresolved bugs or misbehavior

(italicized items probably will not be addressed in 1.7.1; that doesn't mean you cannot tackle them though)

• one sometimes (rarely) sees modules and module links that belong to another user viewing the site at the same moment
• changes to modules and admin settings sometimes require a page reload to appear
• left/center column sometimes takes up width of the screen: it occurs randomly
• the quiz feature may exhibit strange behaviour
• (削除) the poll feature does not record votes; a patch will be released asap (削除ここまで) cannot reproduce
• the chatroom sometimes causes browser to continue to refresh even after leaving
• the site search function may give errors with Chinese or other Asian characters - fixed?
• the mini calendar may display wrong with non-ascii characters used in translation of months and days
• the "Go Back" link on error pages sometimes fails in IE (after a POST or GET to same file)
• various theme problems with different browsers
• tiki-user cookie logs user into all Tiki sites running under the same domain if user has same username/password
• installer does not take into account PHP safe_mode <-- can this be done? ini_get() doesn't seem to get the safe_mode value
• Tiki running in Windows (and specifically IIS?) generate links that have an erroneous "/" before the URL parameter: ex. tiki-browse_image.php/?imageId=2
• comment hash is title+content, making it impossible to post 2 comments with the same title and content, an uncommon but certainly possible and legitimate situation
• Please see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=64258&atid=506846 for more possible bugs
