It was a busy week in Hastymail development with 40 SVN commits since our last update on the 12th. Thanks to some great testing and feedback we were able to identify and fix a few bugs and we also knocked out several of the remaining items that need to be in place before putting together an official beta release. Here is the full list:

    Its been another slow-ish week in Hastymail development land. I have been swamped with work and had a few personal issues to take care of. I did however get some annoying bugs fixed and continued to chip away at the remaining bits of code that I want in place before we start building beta releases. One fix, making cookie-less sessions work, required quite a bit of troubleshooting to correct, and in the process revealed an interesting facet of some internal PHP behavior. Here is the detailed list of whats new this week.

    It was yet another busy week of development with 20 SVN commits since last weeks update, including some large language translation related changes. The code is now stable enough for our first beta release which will be announced shortly after this update is posted. Read on for more details on whats new.

    It's been another busy week of Hastymail development. Looking back over the week there were 28 individual commits since last Monday. Some are fixes and some are additions and they are scattered throughout the code really. I would also like to welcome a new contributor, Matt Smith, to the project. I have a crazy busy day today so rather than a few more lines of pointless blathering lets go straight to the list of whats new.

    The past week was not the most productive for Hastymail development, but definitely an improvement over the last few. There are a handful of fixes in various places as well as continued work on the new configuration and plugin systems. Considering how much Hastymail2 can already do, I am pleased with how compact the codebase is. The overall organization of the code uses a system I have been developing for a long time. A primary focus is limiting php include size, both through re-usable and efficient code but also by excluding files from being included when not required by the page request. For example if $_POST is empty a 1500 line include file that contains methods for dealing with submitted forms is not included.

     It's been about a month since the first beta release of the new Hastymail code and I am happy to announce the second beta version is ready for download. I had hoped to have some more plugin development done by this point but if nothing else, thanks to all the helpful feedback from testers, many issues reported after the first beta release are corrected.
