Notice that this is the first release cycle I actually started tracking new features on the feature matrix during the development cycle(well I did before but it was hidden to the normal users). A lot of the detailpages for the new features lack mostly because we try avoiding linking to development versions of the docs or stuff that might change rapidly (like some of the wiki pages). What I usually do is once we have the release notes I do a full copyediting pass over all of them to bring the descriptions more in line with the "official" wording. > > If someone wants to give my user account ("schmiddy") update privs on > those pages, I'd be happy to flesh out some of those details pages myself. The current legecy interface to doing the updates is very very rough, tends to crash browers and is not concurrency safe so if you have suggestions for improvments (especially for the non 8.5a3 only features) it seems better if you bring them up here (or send them to me) until magnus gets the replacement infrastructure up ;) Stefan

Not at all :-) It's fixde in the new version, it's just that all the other stuff in the new version isn't quite ready yet. And I'm too lazy to fix it twice, and since the new version is a rewrite in a different language, there is no way to backport it. >> If someone wants to give my user account ("schmiddy") update privs on those pages, I'd be happy to flesh out some of thosedetails pages myself. > > The current legecy interface to doing the updates is very very rough, tends to crash browers and is not concurrency safeso if you have suggestions for improvments (especially for the non 8.5a3 only features) it seems better if you bringthem up here (or send them to me) until magnus gets the replacement infrastructure up > ;) Yeha, +1, it's a bit scary that old interface.

They way that file is writte however suggests that somebody did this on purpose(?!) does anybody recall if we have parts of the current code somehow depending on that? Stefan
