Masterview users - Apr 2007 - Meant to have another maintenance release ready, but need to wait till end of next week

I meant to have a maintenance release of MasterView done fixing some of the
minor issues that were identified on the list over the last several weeks,
however I got swamped at work and have not been able to get to wrapping it
up. Deb is also working on some better error messages for when the templates
don''t parse, so that code should go in there as well.

Tomorrow is Easter so I will be celebrating with my family and next week I
am taking the family to Solitude, UT to try and get in some spring skiing
(praying that they will have some decent snow, and a little powder would be
nice). So since I don''t know whether I will have internet connectivity
there, I didn''t want to rush out a release and possibly not be able to
resolve issues while I am there. Plus since the criticality of these fixes
is pretty low, I think we''d be better off waiting for a release late
next
week. I am back on Friday.

In the meantime if anyone needs the latest code for whatever reason, all my
fixes are checked in to the trunk if  you want to pull the latest version
that way svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/masterview/trunk/masterview however
normally I would suggest using the release version unless you have to get a
fix or new feature. We go through additional testing and review before we
push out each release.

Deb will be applying her changes there to the trunk too as soon as they are
ready.

Late next week (when I am back) I will make the formal release moving the
svn release tag and building the new gem.

The trunk of the development (unreleased code) is at
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/masterview/trunk/masterview

The latest released code is always at
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/masterview/tags/masterview

and

Rubyforge and its mirrors contains the latest release of the gem.

When I get back I plan to get onto many of the suggestions you have had
(better RadRails support out of the box, cleanup of generated rhtml, auto
copy files, ...) as well as discussing some of the new power directives I
have been working on.

Have a happy Easter!

Jeff

Jeff and Deb,

Can you implement a Wiki on masterview.org? That would allow for user
contributed content such as tips, work-arounds and user-developed
directives. I think that would help fill in the
gaps of Rails helpers vs. existing MV directives. And many other things.

Ed - excellent suggestion, I like it.

Jeff''s on vacation this week, let''s pick up this conversation
next week
after he''s back.  Jeff''s providing the hosting for
masterview.org, so I''m
not sure what he''s got available in his platform setup relative to
getting a
wiki opened.  

Believe we can also set up a wiki with our masterview project on rubyforge,
so if we go that way we''d add link to the wiki in our user docs and
from
masterview.org.

Certainly sounds good. Other projects whose home pages are NOT on RF,
sometimes link back to RF for their wiki. (BTW, is that Trac you are
thinking of?)

Yes, we''ll set something like this up. It would be a great thing to
have.
