Digest #166

Wed Feb 2 10:58:13 CET 2011

Hi all,
I've found the reason why Git commits have stopped being imported into Enzyme: the format of the commit message mails has been changed! Grrrr.
This has taken all the time I set aside to work on Enzyme to fix (fix will go up tonight) - i'll try and do an extra evening of work to do some other stuff I wanted too.

With regards to the next Digest issue: if it can be brought up to where it is ready for release, i'll look it over tonight and get it published.
Going forward, I think we can have other people actually releasing the issues too - I think you're ready for it! :)

Danny

Good stuff everyone!
I'm going to spend some time on features/bug fixes tonight for Enzyme to address some of the issues brought up over the past week (and my own todo list! :))

Cheers,
Danny

Hi team,

Digest #166 is taking shape. I have injected and formatted the feature article and also formatted the still not fully completed synopsis. I hope I will have the time to go through the commits once more during the coming days... if Marco doesn't beat me to it. You are doing loads of work, kudos! Anyways, judging from the state of this digest, I would say it is definitely ready to go some time this week.

Digests #164 and #165 also seem to look great! We really are catching up.

Cheers,

mutlu
