We are proud to announce the second release candidate of conjoon 0.1 (conjoon 0.1RC2). This RC focuses on bug fixes, Ext 3.1 integration and security enhancements, and should be the last candidate for the next stable release.

Here's a list of notable fixes/enhancements that made it into this release:

[Email module - backend]

• fixed an issue where protocol would get overwritten on account update
  actions
• fixed: sending emails would not consider the configured port for the outgoing
  mail server

[Email module - client]

• fixed a critical issue where the state of a panel would not be saved when
  deactivating this panel (closes #369)

[Security]

• fixed a possible security hole that could occur if relative links are used
  in feed items (closes #371)

[Feeds module - backend]

• fixed an issue that would break importing/adding feeds when a call to
  "getLastDateModified()" from Zend_Feed_Reader on the specific resource would
  return NULL (closes #370)

[Feeds module - client]

• fixed an issue where the dialog would not be closable after an error occured
  on the server during adding a feed (see #370)

[Twitter module - client]

• fixed an issue where the local Twitter account store would not be updated
  with the most recent values after data has been successfully submitted to the
  server (closes #361)

Please download and test this release candidate, and report any issues found. A stable release is expected next week. In case of critcal issues we will continue producing weekly RCs. Downloads and further information is available at http://www.conjoon.org/downloads. See also the most recent installation/upgrade guide at http://wiki.conjoon.org/wiki/Users/Guide/Installation.

Thorste, I have to say congratulations!

Your release is inspirational, it's one of the best I've seen and it's awesome to see that the code is available to download. I've been reading through it and I've been very impressed by how clean and well documented it is

Great job, you guys should be very proud of yourselfs. Thanks for sharing your efforts and inspiring me (and hopefully many others) at least.

Thanks for the feedback @Palastanga

In the meantime, we have released conjoon 0.1RC3. This RC focuses on issues we came across during tests on various systems, and we want to thank Marc Steinert and Johannes Hahn for providing us with detailed bug reports.

Notable changes from the changelog:

[Email module - client]

• fixed an issue where the EmailAccountWizard would be opened twice if no email accounts are available due to reserved method name "onShow()"

[Twitter module - backend]

• fixed an issue where reading out Tweets from a newly imported account with no Tweets yet would trigger an error

[General UI]

• removed debug code that would trigger an error in other browsers than FF

I'm proud to announce the immediate release of conjoon V0.1.1. This is a maintenance release in the 0.1 series which provides several bug fixes.

From the changelog:


[Ext.ux.Livegrid]
- brought Ext.ux.Livegrid 0.4.1 into the main dev branch which fixes an issue
reported by hflipman (http://www.conjoon.org/forum/showthread.php?346) regarding
the loading of selections

[Reception module - client]
- fixed a consequence of a possible race condition that could occur if a user
sets the workbench into "standby", then a login with the same user credentials
is done on another machine, and the previously locked workbench is unlocked
again

[General]
- fixed several trailing comma issues that would prevent IE7 from starting
the application

[YoutubePlayer]
- updated conjoon to use Ext.ux.YoutubePlayer 0.4 which fixes a few issues
and introduces functionality to chose from different video resolutions based
on the resolutions the currently playing video provides

[Feeds module - backend]
- fixed an issue where item facade's "importAndAddFeedItems()" would not handle
an exception other than "Zend_Http_Client_Exception" properly, thus breaking
updating other feed items resources if any other exception was thrown

You can download the latest release at the official download page.

I've had finally the time to set up a demo.

The demo's purpose is to give you a first glance of the features of conjoon. Therefore,

• you can only use one preconfigured email account
• only the latest 10 emails from this preconfigured account will be fetched every time you check for new messages
• you can't edit, add or remove email accounts
• an additional signature will be attached to each message you send from the demo

The demo is available at http://demo.conjoon.org. Please visit http://www.conjoon.org/demo for further instructions and informations.

Hey there,

conjoon 0.1.2 is available and introduces ExtJS 3.1.2 to the 0.1 branch of conjoon. You can read the release announcements over at http://www.conjoon.org/blog/2010/03/...-1-2-released/.

In short, the release focuses on ui enhancements and improving the installation wizard. We have encountered some problems on unix based systems and hope those issues are now ironed out.

For the 0.1 series, we will provide bug fixes from now on. New features are all added to the 0.2 branch, which also introduces IMAP support.

Oh, and make sure you check out the official demo over at http://demo.conjoon.org!

Hi Thorsten,

Thank you for sharing your fabulous work of art.

When I'm out on vacation beginning next week, I have time to study and learn from 2 great examples and a new tool.

1. Your awesome product
2. Jay Garcia's app.zip -- this is using CodeIgniter from what I have read
3. Also play with the new Ext Designer
4. And more time with your LiveGrid user extension

My goal is to become better at doing Ext JS.

I can never thank you enough.

Cheers,
Mario

Hi Mario,

I'm on step four right now


When you have time, look at Thorsten's code. Clearly, he's a leader in this space.

+1 agree.

I have looked at making the scrollbar more user friendly and consistent between browsers. During the last 3 days, I made 2 attempts at it and documented it beginning here for the work I done.

http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...551#post451551

In any event both attempts failed. The 2nd was very close and it was very nice. But, IE 6 changes the minimum distance the scroll will move depending on the height of the window, where Firefox and WebKit is a fixed amount.

Our users have expressed on not wanting to have to page through a grid. It's now the year 2010 and I agree with the users. The LiveGrid is there for prefetching, buffering, etc.

The 0.1.3 series of conjoon is available and it brings you security/bug fixes along with new features. We have introduced internal DownloadManagement in 0.1.3 which will be responsible for scheduling downloads. We are now back working on the 0.2 release. Make sure you check out the demo, always featuring the latest release at http://demo.conjoon.org





@mario & @jay

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's much appreciated. Every code needs to be polished from now and then, and time is the only limited resource there is.
