Folks,
=NEW WEBSITE= First of all, the nascent Object Arts site for Dolphin X6 is now online. There's not that much there at present but you can find it at: http://www.object-arts.com/newsite You can use the Downloads page to access the latest beta downloads and the Support page to review the Release Notes (fixed bugs) and Outstanding Issues (unfixed bugs). http://www.object-arts.com/newsite/navigation/support/support.html =NEW BUG REPORTING PROCEDURE= We have spent some time this week (and some expense) upgrading our bug tracking system (TestTrackPro from seapine.com) to enable you to enter the beta bug reports directly into our tracking database. If you go to the Support page on the new site you'll see a link at the bottom to enable you to do this. We'd like you (please) to enter all new bug reports directly in this manner. First of all though, it would be a good idea to check through the Release Notes and the Outstanding issue reports to avoid the necessity of re-reporting something that has already been discovered. If you think that your bug report may interest others (probably most will I should think) then can you also copy the detail of the report into a newsgroup message and post it here as before. Now a pretty please. Could those of you who have posted bug reports on the beta so far please go through your newsgroup postings and re-enter them using the web process. There are quite a large number of these (as you've no doubt noticed) and if we can share the task of entering these into the database between everyone it will give us more time to review them and work on the fixes. Obviously, you only need to enter the problems that *you* have found. I'm sorry if this is a little tedious but it would be most helpful from our point of view. If this process works out okay for the beta then we'll probably adopt it for the final release too. Best regards, Andy Bower Dolphin Support www.object-arts.com |
Andy,
I'm not sure if this is a bug of feature, but I am getting many emails from your system. If it is intentional, I should be able to set up a filter to put them in a folder devoted to the beta. Toward the latter, if you can configure a "from" address for the emails, that would help. Have a good one, Bill -- Wilhelm K. Schwab, Ph.D. [hidden email] |

Hence there is the possibility of overlap when some bugs may have been reported or fixed but do not appear in the appropriate lists. We did toy at one stage with giving all the beta testers their own Test Track Pro account (restricted of course) so that the various reports could be run by your good selves as when required. However, not only was this more complex to set up (and more expensive) but also I think it would be more trouble than it's worth from your point of view. The current situation is a reasonable compromise, I think. While the bugs are coming thick and fast, we'll run off a new report every day. -- Andy Bower Dolphin Support www.object-arts.com |

If you have a spare minute (likely, I know) could you tone down the blue colouring a bit, please ? I find it almost impossible to read the text through the strong blue-and-white stripes. Altenatively, does anyone know how (or know a link to somewhere that tells how) to get Firefox to use a custom style-sheet for a given URL ? -- chris |

The page is (obviously) generated by TestTrackPro and I wanted to be able to replace the overall appearence with one more in tune with our site colour scheme. However, it's all done with CSS and (being a bear of little brain) it was all too much for me to delve into. Couldn't you turn down the colour on your monitor :-) -- Andy Bower Dolphin Support www.object-arts.com |
