Here's another round of the semi-regular bulletin about FusionForge.
First item: FusionForge 4.8.1 was released this week. It's not exactly an important update, but the 4.8 branch had been accumulating fixes over time and we felt that it would be good to push these fixes out. If you don't encounter particular problems, there's probably no need to upgrade in a hurry.
A follow-up for the rewrite of the SCM subsystem: I now consider the Bazaar and Git plugins complete. The missing part, in both cases, was a proper integration of a repository browser and the collection of commit statistics; since one of my clients wants to use Bazaar and another one wants Git, both features have been completed recently. The code still lives on a branch based off 4.8 (for people who need a 4.8-based instance), but it's also been pushed into trunk so the next release will have it natively.
Another branch I've been working on (for clients) was about making the Mediawiki plugin able to handle one wiki per project rather than one shared wiki. This is now possible with yet another 4.8-based branch, where the wiki creation is completely automated. A nice feature is that the FusionForge identification is used as a basis for Mediawiki, with different groups on the wiki depending on project membership and role in the forge. That allows specifying wiki permissions in a simple way, for instance to say that only project members can create new pages, authenticated users can only edit existing pages, and non-authenticated users are read-only. This code will be pushed to trunk in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Alain Peyrat, we now have a buildbot running Hudson for unit tests and a few other things. The coverage isn't complete yet, but we hope to increase it as time passes. It's already proven useful, by ensuring at least correctness of PHP syntax, encoding and line-endings.
I think that's about it for this time. Business as usual.
