This is not a drill, it's much more of a mailing list. If you'll cast your eyes to CVS you'll see a changeset described thusly: ___ A metric ton of changes. * All tables now have abstract id columns, so a users email address is now $user->email and a lists name is $list->name * Storage methods take ids, not objects * User/List methods try to be a bit less magical/vaired about what they take as parameters Since modules and tests have been changed at the same time I expect there to be many bugs, but those'll be squished RSN ___ In which I singlehandedly and bloody mindedly have rewritten chunks of the code. It's not the first of such changesets, because if I get my way then tomorrow I'm releasing Siesta 0.5. Almost regardless of it's state. Along the way, several things'll happen: * The main lists will move from plough to mirth, with the new names of $foo@xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx. This'll let us go full-bore on such crack-fuelled things as a mod_perl or php based web frontend, and maybe a mysql database backend, since plough can't/won't do some of those. * I'll put a deferred actions system back in (since I just heartlessly ripped it out from Siesta::Plugin::Subscribe), which'll give us back the subscribe->confirm thing, but should also be flexible enough to do a generic approval queue for things like MembersOnly and some kind of Moderator only plugin. (yes, this should mean an end to the 419 spams, now stop asking :) * Given sufficent time I'll figure out how to make Module::Build install extra templates to $Siesta::Config::ROOT, if I can't then they'll just have to get inlined into some .pm files. Post the release we'll look at Simons shiny php frontend and see if we can't reimplement it as a thin shim using Apache::Template or HTML::Mason (you'll be allowed to argue about this *after* the release, but I strongly suspect the winner will be the one with the patches) Okay? Got that? Good. I've got a warm test suite to get back to. -- Richard Clamp <richardc@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>
