Release Team Status Update

Testing

If you do test, please let us know by updating the following page. If you don't know what to test this page will also help you find the testing gaps

Tiki12x Testing

Regressions

All regressions have been assigned and being worked on.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do submit a bug report that is flagged as Regression, we would like that report to have the following information

• What was the last version the feature was functional
• Give a demo that shows the issue (either using Tiki Show or a link to one of our Community Sites)

Included from Regressions in 12x

Blockers

• Perhaps the Composer issues mentioned by Bernard in live.tiki.org on 2013-11-20 (where is ticket?)

Potential data loss

• Tracker history tracking issues was: Trackers inline editing: data is not added to tracker history

Decision needed

• pattern for php console.php
• Recent changes to the DB error page, which takes you to the installer
  • This is problematic because we no longer get useful error messages (such as MySQL went away)
  • Have been looking at this (for a while) and the only way i can see of even starting to fix this is to effectively roll back r48266, and even then the detailed error messages don't appear (for security reasons afaict), so will leave this alone now...

Todo for 12.1+

• Add a few screens of the Dev:Profiles Wizard (Featured, Useful, Demo), from the initial Tiki Setup Screen.
• Backport menu icons from trunk (Xavi)
• Maybe backport Jquery Spreadsheet 3.0 or 3.1 once it's proven to be stable in trunk?
