The Tartufo release of GroupServer mostly consists of enhancements so errors are handled better.
- A new Unexpected Error page provides more detail to the user. In addition, the pre-written message to support contains a full stack-trace. This information can be used to find and eliminate the error [1].
- Many errors were generated when non-existent pages were accessed. These errors have been fixed, primarily in the mailing-list code. This should make problems recorded in the error-log maintained by Zope easier to find, as there should be fewer items in the log [2].
- Changes to email addresses are now better recorded [3]. This should help diagnose problems better if there is an error subsequent to an address changing.
- The jQuery code shipped with GroupServer has been updated to the latest stable version (1.4.4).
- The code that generates the image, post, and topic pages has been refactored. This should make those pages easier to maintain.
Work is now starting on GroupServer 11.03 — Pineapple Snow at a Child’s Party.
