Well this is it guys. My last release for the open source course is finished! It has come at the right time too as this is my 100th blog post. So for this release I ended up doing quite a bit more than I originally planned to. It all kind of became hectic in the [...]
Yesterday, ted reviewed my onScroll patch and and he outlined some changes that I should look to make. Lets dive in right away and have a look at what I have changed according to his recommendations: Move javascript to an external file ted recommended that I move all my JavaScript to an external file since [...]
Today ted unexpectedly reviewed my onScroll patch. Now, suddenly I have a ton of changes that I have to make and my release is due tomorrow (technically today since the clock just hit midnight). One of the problems that ted focused on was how I passed merge changesets from the server-side to the client-side. I [...]
In my earlier blog post I outlined that I wanted to further improve bug functionality for the OnScroll patch. Bugs that were only 5 digits long were not being converted into proper links. For example bug 12345 or b#12345 or 12345. I was only covering bugs that were 6 digits in length. The following is [...]

Any merge that contains <5 pushes should be shown normally. I guess, when the original expand/collapse bug was fixed we all forgot about this little [...]
In my goals blog post I stated that I wanted to add expand/collapse functionality to the files touched patch. Why you ask? Well the whole goal is to get the pushlog to show more information but in an unobtrusive manner. Right now this isn’t happening. Adding expand/collapse functionality will allow the user to decide when [...]
It’s that time now, time for my last release for the open source course at Seneca. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by. It just feels like yesterday that I had started out in the first version of the course and now it’s all almost over. Anyway, I’ll leave the reminiscing for later. [...]
All the goals for my v0.9 release have been accomplished and thus another release comes to an end. Looking back I ended up using quite a bit of jquery to fix my bugs. In the process I learnt some new things about the library that I didn’t know beforehand, such as how $(document).ready() works. The [...]
