| 10 | BEGIN SUMMARY | |
| 11 | Dear all, | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | We'd like to extend our best wishes to all of our loyal users, supporters & our associated sponsorship partners along with their families and anyone they may well be in contact with over this festive period. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | It's been a long but productive year for Anope: | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | <strong>.</strong> 4 Point releases on the development branch leading to a release candidate for stable. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | <strong>.</strong> The fast paced development of 1.9 as a result of an initial forking effort "Next Generation -ng" brought back into the team to better collaborate and develop. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | <strong>.</strong> The merging of Denora IRC Stats back into the Anope platform as part of our latest endeavour of open partnerships with dedicated module authors. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | <strong>.</strong> Changes in the team meaning more people are available to help out in our support channel (irc.anope.org #anope) & web forums (https://forum.anope.org). | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | However, whilst we should celebrate our successes this year, we must not rest on our laurels; we must push forward and get 1.8-stable out the door, and help our users with modules only supported up to 1.7.21 make the transition to 1.8-stable with their favourite modules intact. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | We as always are very grateful to our users who use the software, drop in to the channel for a chat and especially those who help us make the product better by reporting issues, suggesting changes & even implementing the changes themselves and passing us a patch. Not everyone can write software, people are always needed for many other roles including but not limited to: | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | <strong>.</strong> Supporting users on the support channel / forums | |
| 30 | <strong>.</strong> Testing bugs reported on the bugtracker and seeing whether you can reproduce them. | |
| 31 | <strong>.</strong> Updating the language translation files to ensure they are accurate & up to date for your language. | |
| 32 | <strong>.</strong> Checking through our supplied documentation to ensure it is correct and update anything we've missed. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | But more than anything, using our latest revisions in our subversion repository even if just in a test environment and helping us find any problems so the problems don't make it to the finished articles. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Once again, from the whole team, we'd like to extend our warmest regards to you in this festive period and wish for a prosperous new year for all. | |
