A further release?

radneck · 2011-05-12 00:57:53

As previously noted TXP 4.3.0 (and then 4.4.0 because of security issues) was meant to be the last significant release before TXP5, which apparently is being rewritten from the ground up (using Spark/Plug).

My question is, why are changes still being made to the TXP dev code? I only noticed this because after updating PHP to 5.3.6 I was getting date_default_timezone_get() warnings, which I was going to post about, but then noticed that wet already patched it.

Is there going to be another minor release?

As a side note, Robert do you mind explaining why this warning occurs (I noticed you just suppressed it), and what you mean by “inventive PHP setups”?

I thought you already linked to the answer.

Stef blogged:

Robert (primarily) will continue to drive new features into the existing codebase ready to move the application across when the framework is ready.

In order to drive new features, it is sort of required to make changes to the code.

Hmmm maybe I did. Or at least half the answer anyway – so will there be another release before 5, or should we just pull down from the dev branch?

There will be another release to address issues like those you mentioned. “Inventive” in this particular commit message was a means to express that servers without default timezone settings are a bit uncommon.

I see. Uncommon perhaps, but the default php.ini doesn’t specify a timezone so a barebones install (i.e. through yum) might throw these kind of errors.

They do, thus came this change set. On a related note, here’s hoping that barebones installs on public-facing servers are also a bit uncommon ;)

Haha yes well we can hope.

With PHP5.3.x onwards the timezone must be set in your server’s php.ini file, regardless of Textpattern or not. If you don’t have access to that file then ask your ISP to set it.

I’m using PHP5.3.6 on my server alongside Textpattern and it works flawlessly – at least I’ve not found any problems with it so far.
