Feedback: Messaging and Calendar modules for The Bug Genie 3
August 17th, 2010 by lsproc
We are considering to release The Bug Genie 3 without the Messaging and Calendar modules, to allow the release to be produced quicker, as well as spend more time to improve the modules for release at a later date.
We understand that some users require these modules as part of their business, and so we are asking you for your feedback on this idea. Note that we are not intending to discontinue these modules, only postpone their release till a later date.
In addition:
Please let us know your opinion of these changes, over on the forum!
We understand that some users require these modules as part of their business, and so we are asking you for your feedback on this idea. Note that we are not intending to discontinue these modules, only postpone their release till a later date.
In addition:
- We will continue to support The Bug Genie 2 for users who require these modules, so they can continue to use a supported platform until such a time as they are able to migrate to The Bug Genie 3, i.e. when these modules are released.
- The modules will be published on The Bug Genie website when they are updated.
- The future version of these updates will include a number of new features and improvements, which would be announced at a later date.

The Bug Genie 2.1.1 is now being tested
July 31st, 2010 by lsproc
The 2.1.1 release of The Bug Genie is almost complete and it is now being tested on our tracker.
A number of changes have been made to this release and so we are going to perform extended testing on our tracker to ensure that any last minute problems are ironed out.
As part of this, a fix to B2-490 involved making a change to the Search module - removing some code of unknown purpose. Whilst the issue itself is fixed, we want to ensure that there are no regressions as a result of this change and so we are testing. Please help us test that the Search system is working for both single-word and multi-word queries.
If you encounter any problems with the tracker, please let us know on the forums.
