Thanks for the thanks

alecwh — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:13:29 -0500

Over the last couple of months, I've gotten a few thank-you messages from Phpns users (located in the U.S., China, Brazil, and Egypt). These emails are very encouraging, and worth tons more than you think. Every time I get a simple thank you for managing this project (among others), I honestly smile--it makes my day better. These messages remind me why I'm developing Phpns!

So, in lieu of donations (although, please do if you can), a thank-you email/letter (contact info) would be totally awesome.

That is all, enjoy your day!

2.2.3 patch 3 in the works

alecwh — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 11:54:13 -0500

I have recently began development on patch 3 for phpns, and I hope I'll have plenty of time to work on it this summer. As a reminder, please report all bugs you find with the system. Any bugs that are submitted reasonably soon will be fixed for this upcoming patch.

Thanks a lot, and please donate (if you can) to minimize hosting/domain costs.

I'm happy to release the next patch for phpns, patch 2 for version 2.2.3. This patch fixes various issues that have been found since the last patch released on our launchpad page.

added auto-hyperlinking in comment text
various minor bugs fixed

You can get the patch here. To install it, just replace the files on your installation with the files in this patch. Note that not all files will be replaced, only a select few that were changed. You should first install patch 1 before installing patch 2. Please feel free to leave comments for this patch in this post. If you find any additional bugs, please report them to Launchpad!

2.2.3_patch2 in the works

alecwh — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 19:48:37 -0600

It's been pretty quiet around here lately, but I'm currently working on a second patch for 2.2.3 (that will be placed atop patch1) to fix a few complaints received on Launchpad. You can expect this patch within the month (or maybe slightly more). Thanks for all of the bug reports, we appreciate everyone still trying to make this project better.

If you've noticed a problem with the phpns software (or any bug like that), you can still get it patched in this release. Just head over to our launchpad page and report the bug. Thanks for this in advance.

Updates soon.

You can track our progress @ https://code.launchpad.net/~phpns-team/phpns/head (our official bzr repository)

Chime in and let us know!

It's that time again. It's the time where I invite all phpns users to post a comment in this article and let us know where and how you utilize phpns!

Last time, nobody really posted, but since we seem to be getting a lot more traffic now (80 unique hits a day!), lets see how it turns out.

You don't need to give a URL, you can just share how you use it!

Site issues

We're having a few issues with the main website, for an unknown reason. If you see oddness throughout the site, don't be alarmed. It should be fixed soon!

2.2.3 patch 1 released

alecwh — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:12:22 -0500

Since the last release, 2.2.3, we've received a decent amount of bug reports that we have fixed. We thank everyone for their help finding these bugs; even though the project is deprecated, we still commit to the repository every now and then with important bug fixes. Patch 1 is the most recent patch to fix a lot of issues with 2.2.3. Remember, this patch is NOT the whole package. It only contains files that have changed since the last release.

To use this patch, simply open it, and dump its contents into your /phpns/ folder. Overwrite the old files.

Download it here.

Once again, if you find any bugs, report them to Launchpad!

Update: download link has been fixed!
