Internal Progress

Any bug reports received during the beta phase will be reviewed, so please help test as much as possible.

I've done all the general testing I will have time for on this cycle. The remaining "todo" items include a review of the installer and adding password length enforcement during login.

There's already a bug in this thread. Somehow on the index page it says this forum has 0 threads and 1 post. :P

:shocked2: Nice catch.

I will troubleshoot that later. Busy with work today.

I definitely broke this a few weeks ago. It is fixed now.

We have a bug in the captcha for anonymous search. I made a patch that I need to upload and test. Some bots are starting to abuse the search feature so I'd like to have this turned on and working.

Search captcha is working now. I reviewed the password policy situation and I think the most-elegant solution will be to centralize all password-related logic in the new Password class. That means taking some functions from Core, some constants from Variables, and then treating Password as a service instead of a one-off object for each hash.

Search itself could do with a bit of fine tuning to allow things like exact matches, word matches/phrase matches and wildcards.

Right now it's a bit limited, IMO, though introducing certain mechanisms can lead to strain on larger/slower SQL servers.

For search feature improvement, add to the bug tracker or submit a pull request.

Password policy changes are done. I only need to take another look through the installer before making a beta 3 package.

Thank you for the new bug reports.

Installer work is done. Needs one or two extra tests.

Going to add another item to the URL filter, then push out Beta 3, maybe today.
