Oo! Fancy new changes!
Now that zdoom.org is on a site that I have more control over, I've finally been able to do something I wanted to do ever since I first put up the changelog page: make it work. There was a simple version in place initially, but apparent resource utilization problems made me replace it with a boring page that linked to the log file in the repository.
No more. It's now much closer to what I had initially intended it to be. Now you can browse the changes for different revisions and see exactly what changed.
Now I should be able to get back to working on ZDoom itself. Maybe if we're lucky, I'll actually get a release out in 2007.
PS. The code that fetches files from the repository and turns them into HTML is written in Lua because Lua is just that awesome.

Related to the site, is it possible that potato.php could become some sort of redirect to viewtopic.php, so old links aren't dead?
Re: Oo! Fancy new changes!
I thought I had, but I guess I didn't check it properly. 'Twould explain why there have been 615 404s for it this month already.

Sweet, fancy new changes! No I don't have to download the changelog every day to check for updates.

Re: Oo! Fancy new changes!
There's a small issue with the new changelog page.
The menu gets extended with each category of 50 revision changes and becomes too long to fit on my screen. As far as I can tell, there is no way to scroll through the menu either. 1280x800 is a semi-standard resolution too, so it's not like I'm using some minute desktop resolution.

I'm using the same resolution and I don't have that problem. You've got a lot of toolbars.Psycho Siggi wrote:There's a small issue with the new changelog page.

Good to hear some progress, and a real release before 08 would be dandy

Re: Oo! Fancy new changes!
Though i could see that being an issue for those using 1024x768 or less. You do have two more bars than I do (that thing on top, and the tabs)

Re: Oo! Fancy new changes!
It also happened without the tabs bar, probably because of the 2 bars I have at the top and bottom of my desktop.Project Dark Fox wrote:Though i could see that being an issue for those using 1024x768 or less. You do have two more bars than I do (that thing on top, and the tabs)
However, clearly the way I have my desktop set up isn't the cause of the problem. It would be ideal to have some way to either scroll the menu bar, or change how much it displays.

Mmm, as a Python programmer, I found that learning the ins and outs of Lua was actually generally a lot easier than I thought it would be.
