Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

Just want to say that it makes it alot easier to update when you release the hdiff file too!

Thanks! :)

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

Yes, I love them. We really should consider using them for mods.

Rickard,
Thanks for hdiff, it helped me a lot as i use a highly modified punbb.

Btw, install.php still assigns $punbb_version = '1.1.3';

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

Whoops, I'll fix that right away.

Edit: I've updated the 1.1.4 release to fix the install version issue. If you've already installed 1.1.4 from scratch, you can just run the 1.1 to 1.1.4 update located in /scripts to update your version number in the database. If you know how, you can also edit the version number directly in the database (it's in the config table).

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

Do you plan on writing an hdiff file for future 1.2 or will there be too many changes? Just wondering.

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

I don't write the hdiff file. It's generated by a Perl script. The answer is yes, there will be hdiffs for 1.2 as well :D

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

whats "hdiff"??

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

Hdiff is a script that generates html-files as output when "comparing" files. This helps people to alter the code instead of downloading new files to replace the old ones with.

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

How can we use it?

Re: PunBB 1.1.4 - Impressions

pedro: I use it like this:

hdiff -nr -t "PunBB 1.1.4 to 1.1.5 Changes" punbb-1.1.4/upload punbb-1.1.5/upload > site/download/hdiff/hdiff-1.1.4_to_1.1.5.html

The result is a file with all the changes from PunBB 1.1.4 to 1.1.5. The version downloadable from the page Chacmool linked to has a bug. I've fixed the bug and added a few small other tweaks. You can download the fixed version here.
