Drupal 4.4.2 release schedule

By Dries on 23 May 2004 at 17:00 UTC

It has been three weeks since we released Drupal 4.4.1 and some bugs have been fixed since then. No critical bugs were identified yet I'd like to release Drupal 4.4.2, a second maintenance release, shortly. It would be nice if you could help squash pending bugs as well as help test the DRUPAL-4-4 branch so we can start packaging Drupal 4.4.2 in one or two weeks from now.

A list of all pending bugs filed against Drupal 4.4.0 and Drupal 4.4.1. If you want to contribute to Drupal and don't know where to start, this page makes for a good starting point.
Changes in the DRUPAL-4-4 branch. Drupal 4.4.1 was released on May 1st so only the changes after May 1st are relevant for Drupal 4.4.2.

For the next version...

I know you're more concerned with bugs right now, but I have a couple of Drupal requests for the next version:

1. I like to post longer essays to collaborative book pages because of the printer-friendly option. However, I wish the printer-friendly version could still show my name and the timestamp. Any way you could arrange it to do that?

2. The new trackback module is great, but I'm wondering if there's a way for trackbacks to be assigned a different category in the database, so that they don't show up as comments.

Thanks a lot--you guys are the best!

printing.....

Bèr Kessels commented 27 May 2004 at 19:31

Here speaks the CSS preacher...

Using CSS for printing is much, much nicer. It allows you a lot of cool features and it works in most browsers.

Because of this, the print-features will probably not be improved a big lot.

Besides that: The print functions from books are all themeable, so you can alter the print features quite easy.

I have only one example in drupal available: it can be found at dot-o-dot.com.

Note the little print icon in the right-top. It triggers a javascript print(); and the browser chooses the correct print stylesheet.

Have a look at it and feel free to steal any code from CSS and html.

I'll check that out--thanks!

CSS Print Article

I posted this on the (user?) list, but for those browsing the site:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/

Also view that site's source, and try printing it - very nice print stylesheet they've got going on...

Oddity when logging in

Luke Diamand commented 29 May 2004 at 09:36

I'm new to drupal, so bear with me - perhaps I'm reporting a feature rather than a bug.

With 4.4.1 when I logged in the central section showed some kind of useful/interesting content. Good.

I've now tried out top-of-tree from the cvs repo and now when I login it takes me to my user details page, which is not interesting at all. This happens both with my own install, and with drupal.org. Is that correct?

Gone away?

Luke Diamand commented 29 May 2004 at 09:55

And now the effect has gone away. I've disabled the cache so perhaps that was the problem?

Drupal 4.5.0 release schedule?

joel_guesclin commented 1 June 2004 at 08:54

Don't want to sound impatient - but I am planning a major conversion of web site to Drupal between now and December 2004. I'm very interested in internationalisation features and new theming being discussed. Should I wait until 4.5 or start in straight away with 4.4? Is there a release schedule for 4.5?

trains, planes and drupal

bertboerland commented 2 June 2004 at 17:10

So far, drupal has a history of releasing 4 releases per year. This is due to a kind of timeboxing management. However, due to this rather fixed release date, it is not always clear what is in the release. So your question, when will 4.5 be released migh be answered, however if it will contain the functionality you wish is the real question

On the subject of PRINT

Nick Wilson commented 2 June 2004 at 17:43

Bèr and I have been collaborating on a module and some patches for the core themes. Would be great if these eventually make it into the drupal core and the next release.

I should be done with the CSS writing by the middle of next week (aprox.) so let's see....
