Is there a list of release items hiding in here somewhere? I am looking at the Market Place but want to make sure I look at all of the code changes.

Thanks!

what are release items? If you want to know what changed in the code GIT is really good for that.

the combo of PhpStorm and GIT work great together.

Good plan Michael but I think the release will be completed before I learn storm and git. What I want to know is the modules that require unit or regression testing for the release.

I shouldn't have asked eh?! I don't know what 'unit testing' or 'regression testing' are. Think I've heard the terms before though.

Unit Testing - code is broken down into sections, usually called "functions" or "classes". Unit Testing is semi-automated regression testing to ensure code changes have not broken anything.

Regression Testing - when you make a change to code, or add a new feature, you want to be sure that you don't break existing interfaces. This is "regression testing"

Todd - I just got done getting a "changelog" setup in place here on the new jamroom.net - basically there is going to be a "changelog.txt" file in each module/skin that will outline what has changed in the release.

Right now none of the existing modules/skins loaded here have it in place but it's something the team will be adding.

Thanks!

Everything has to have a fancy name or acronym. Thanks for the links.

as opposed to deprecated, polymorphism etc? The dev world is just as guilty :)
