Heya everyone. I've been hard at work, getting Dada Mail ready for the next alpha release. The more things I add, in terms of features - and right now, it's just one big feature: multiple subscriber fields, the more things I find I have to tweak to make the system work (still). This gives good opportunity to tune some of the code and get rid of stuff that's not even needed. Along the way, the new features do call for some decisions on how the program works. Right now, Dada Mail has quite a few options on ...Continue Reading

Test guys, please disregard... ...Continue Reading

Just a few more screenshots attached. I've been working with the auto-pickup feature a bit. It's heavily augmented from the 2.10.x series - mostly by allowing you to set a maximum number of mailouts that are allowed to go out at the same time (default is 1) and also give you the option to pause a mailing. There's also the idea of a, "stale" mailing - a mailing that hasn't done anything for a while and not something you want to have restarted automatically. There's still a few problems, but it's ...Continue Reading

This may have already been said, but will the list owner be allowed to select those fields that are required to be filled in and/or displayed, and only show those on the subscription page?-Joe On 11/5/07, Dada Mail (Justin Simoni)* <dada@PROTECTED> wrote: I've been working on the actual subscription forms in Dada Mail.One of the main problems is that now that there's the possibility ofmultiple subscriber fields, each and every subscription form being displayed has to have a way to input these news values.

I've been working on the actual subscription forms in Dada Mail. One of the main problems is that now that there's the possibility of multiple subscriber fields, each and every subscription form being displayed has to have a way to input these news values. Since the subscription forms are everywhere - from the default screen, to the list pages, the archive pages, rss/atom feeds, error pages - as well as the cut/paste HTML code - it's a little difficult. So, it should be all straightened out - Some of the m ...Continue Reading

I've been doing a bit of cleanup with the code and writing test after test - I'm happy to let everyone know that for the tests I've since written, all the back ends (PlainText, MySQL, Postgress, SQLite) are passing ALL the tests. This is a good thing, since there's about 800+ tests just for the new multiple fields stuff. There's more, much much more testing to be done, but I still hope to get a dev release out very very very soon, I've attached some screenshots... Cheers, ...Continue Reading

I've started with the testing suite for the features currently implemented. Currently, there's about 300+ tests, just dealing with the new functionality and about 800+ (or whatever the number is) of tests that already exist. Every time I make a distro of Dada Mail, the tests are run and I can see if anything broke. This is a big boon for me. The multiple fields feature is so embarrassingly late, people always ask, "why has it taken so long"? There's a whole bunch of reasons, the main main reas ...Continue Reading

Eh, it's no so much that the querys run slow - they're still pretty simple querys, it's just pushing all that in ...Continue Reading
