New forum slot / advanced search
-
Hello,
When I upgraded from 2.1.3 to 2.1.4, I ran into a show-stopper issue: all of my ip aliases used with carp had stopped working. There had already been a patch published, and once pointed to the correct forum entry I fixed the problem. It caused lots of gnashing of the teeth while I was trying to find a fix.
By the way, I am very happy with the response I got, but that really isn't why I am writing this here under feedback.
Prior to the upgrade I spent some time searching the forums for known issues in upgrading to 2.1.4, but wasn't able to distinguish across the >1000 search responses.
This time before I upgrade, I have tried to search for 2.1.5 issues in the forums and redmine. Again, there's no easy way to filter out issues pertaining to upgrades.
When I look at the development forums, I see there is always one titled "x.x Snapshot Feedback and Problems", and when the release occurs, this title rotates to the next snapshot release.
May I suggest a similar forum? Perhaps " <version>confirmed issues"?
Or perhaps a tag that can be searched for and an advanced search feature? (does smf allow tags?) Is there a such thing as blessed tags, where only the official developers can say "2.1.5_confirmed_issue"?
–jason</version>

Filtering redmine by affected version will get what you're looking for. If something is specifically set to 2.1.5 (or any other specific version, not "2.1.x" or "all") for instance, it's a regression. There aren't any known regressions in 2.1.5.
