Maybe an extra state around the words of "Fix Released"? "Fixed" would be renamed to something like "Fix Committed", and only "Fix Released" would be auto-closed? I've had no problems as a contrib maintainer convincing users that they just needed to wait for the release. But I also admit that I release fixes for non-trivial bugs on a quick schedule of only a few days after the initial commit if no other problems are reported. -Aran On 18.11.2008 20:23, Nathaniel Catchpole wrote:
I agree with Darren on this - by definition, an issue can't be fixed in the 'current' release - because that's frozen, so it will always be fixed in the next one. And it seems like a lot of unnecessary work to go back marking issues as fixed when you actually roll a release.
This does bring up an issue I've noticed a lot though - many users re-open issues which are marked fixed, because the bug is still present in whichever version of the module they're currently using. Also - if something gets fixed, and the next version of the module isn't released for some time, then the 'fixed' issue gets marked closed, drops out of the main issue view, and results in lots and lots of duplicates being posted because people don't see it. Would be worth considering ways to make these fixed issues more visible to those trying to report bugs.
