Thank you Hervé, and thank you for being so candid about the nature of the release.
Just one thing bothers me....... where does this leave us come the time of an "official" upgrade to the XOOPS core? Will we be able to upgrade from Herve's release to future XOOPS releases or will we have gone down a "fork of no return"?
I don't mean to sound negative as I'm sure that the security improvements are worthwhile and, as always, very welcome. Just thinking ahead a little.....
Either way, thank you Hervé, and good to see your activity - it is much appreciated.
This
Personal Release is not compatible with future versions of XOOPS and will not be supported.
I would strongly encourage anyone who wishes to maintain compatibility with the future versions of XOOPS to NOT use this unsupported version.
Also, there is a patch for most if not all the bugfixes ready on SF.net. If people want to make something useful, they're allowed to test / review the available patches, or even apply them to a 2.0.16 and release some kind of "patched 2.0.16 with bugfixes not yet entirely official"
The big issue with Herve's release is that his password methods do no match what will be used in XOOPS and therefore is dangerous for the average user to implement.
Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.
