Upcomming Deadline / Complete Freeze 2009-01-20

There will be a complete freeze for final preparations before release, beginning Jan 25. This means that everything should be complete before this time. This only applies directly to the "Trunk".

All tickets should be closed, or migrated to the next milestone by Jan 24. No changes will be allowed to the "Trunk" from Jan 25 - Feb 1. Any modifications made that would not be classified as 'security related', 'critical-stoppers', or 'major fixes'(fixes would be defined as something that is broken), will be reverted. Any changes that can not be classified as above, should be saved to be Commited starting back again on Feb 2.

This Freeze period will be used to update cotonti.com to the same revision that is to be used for release, as well as allowing for a testing period, that does not involve any changes. In the case any major problems are found they will be fixed, and updated to be included with the release.

Please note this only applies to the "Trunk" /trunk/, anything in /branches/ may continue to be changed in a normal fashion during this time.

Please be aware and notice that the freeze is in effect now.

Access has been restored to normal

Cotonti.com will be upgraded to r255 2009-01-08

Today I shall prepare and update the website to R255. Nearly all the tickets are complete so a good live test here is needed in preparation for release.

There may be a little downtime, but I will try to make this as minimal as possible. If you find any bugs or have any problems. Please be sure to report them! This will be updated when the update is complete.

Please bear with any problems we have noticed some. The update has been done. Post any bugs here

Some notes along the way 2008-11-24

Nearly four months have passed since this project was launched. Although it is not so explicit, we have made a big progress, moving a great but obsoleting CMS from a deadlock towards deserving future. Probably it has not yet justified the expectations which are usually very high at a new beginning. But in fact, we have fixed hundreds of bugs and stepped important steps which the majority hesitated to do for a long time.
