Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone! I sure hope you like Irish and Celtic music, because they play an awful lot of it on the radio today. And what a week it's been for the east coast. My own roof saw more than two feet of snow in a couple of days, but we call that "March".

You may have noticed there's been no release this week. There's a reason for that: I'm still waiting on test cases or at least some pinning-down of the version for a couple of big issues. In one report, statpanels are slowing down the client after a while, but I can't get reliable information on it. In another report from several people, arrow keys are being interpreted incorrectly in some projects, causing things like scrolling through command history even when not holding down Ctrl. I consider these issues really important, but it's vital I be able to reproduce them or find the code responsible. (The key thing I'll actually need a test case for no matter what.) Needless to say this is kind of irksome, so software development has stalled while I wait for those pieces to come together.

In the meantime I've been spinning up on web development, to get to some promised items there. One of the first things I'm starting with is a revamp to the file manager interface, because the old one kind of bugs me and it's also a very good place to get back into it. The spin-up is always a slowgoing affair, but the code is moving along. Also for site development, I'm going to be coordinating with some users about the forum.

So yes, it's a pretty slow week for news here, but things are still going on behind the scenes. While you're celebrating the holiday tonight, don't forget to toss a few coins into the jar where you're saving up for a BYOND Membership or donation, because this is a special holiday for BYOND. And for the 99% of you who aren't of legal drinking age, hey, it's not like you need green beer money yet.
