SourceForge -> Google

'T is true, we have moved our subversion from SourceForge to Google's 'Google Code'.

Why?

Several reasons really! Short list:

  • SF is not very user friendly
  • SF is not very admin friendly
  • SF doesn't keep us 'up to date' about stuff
  • SF is sometimes buggy
  • SF is pretty often 'non-functional'


Examples:

Few months ago, all accounts needed to 'change their passwords for security reasons'. Just admit you were sloppy enough to get your user database hacked, IMO.  Admin accounts aren't remembered, so every time you have to login again. Few months ago (again), admin's couldn't edit their wiki as you would log out as soon as you reach it. One of the cooler features of SF is the statistics (yes, we're statistic-whores). These have been down for almost a month now.

So, we've decided to give Google Code a try. You can find the link in the Links section, if you're interested. It doesn't really have much info on it, as we now have everything we need on urdland.com. But we don't have subversion here so that's the main raison d'etre (= french) for our Google Code account :)

 
0.5.3 on the way

You've read it.... 0.5.3 to be released, probably within a week or so.

Most interesting new feature is IPv6 support :D Combined with the fact that several usenet providers have free access for IPv6 users, you can cut down in costs or go up in retention if you're using your ISP's usenet servers. Only requirement is that you have IPv6 ofcourse :P

Furthermore, there are several bugfixes, installer improvements and other "usual stuff". Nothing really shocking though. (Security improvement: you will be able to bind cookies to an IP address so there's less chance if someone hijacking your session)

Oh! Almost forgot, Spearhead discovered a way to speed up updates (quite a bit!) by temporarily disabling INDEX-ing on the tables during updates! So that should cut down in CPU load and/or update times :)

So hang on and stay tuned for the next release!

 
And a 0.5.2 as well!

Due to some feedback from Smullers and Rivertrent, we've made some more improvements:

  • The "page skipper" now doesn't ignore search parameters anymore
  • Amount of buttons is now configurable
  • Default, the program locations for extraction are now empty, unless found
  • The default Google-button had a typo, is fixed
