This release is a number minor enhancements- bug squashing and some reinstating of functionality lost in the last release. The collection of development tasks we worked on was not unified in any particular manner, instead we ordered a list of bugs and requests which wouldn't take too much time according to priority and got to as many in a week as we could. There was a subtle change to the group queuing for the front page, which shouldn't effect normal site use.
Enhancements:
- Some server side work including performance monitoring tools and process monitoring tools
- Make collapse/expand of side bar items persistent. These we stay as you left them after you shut the page.
- Allow users to follow themselves
- Minor fixes to the helpdesk including a style more consistent with the new design and some edits to the text
Design Adjustments:
- Tip jar has a better layout (so links line up with links from normal comments)
- Fixing the captions on form submit buttons
- Send message link back in the Group header
- History (list) view back for diaries
Bug fixes:
- "reposted from ..." message no longer shown on the front page for featured writers
- Better time stamps on liveblogging updates (was sometimes out of order chronologically)
- Welcome back box bumped up in placement on the side bar (now just below the ad)
- Mouseover intro text on recommend and recent list items
- Bug fix for rescue rangers, having to do with getting blocked from requeuing
