Saturday 9 May
My guild is SOOO close to taking down Yogg-Saron on 25-man! But don't worry, I'm not getting too distracted. In fact, a lot of work got done today on various improvements and bug fixes.
I would like to stress to anyone that reads up on these updates that the beta
will not be in an optimized state. It may run sluggish for some. As we progress through to the official release, optimizations and tweaks will be put in place to help it out. Still, there was an optimization done today that I think helped a lot.
Today's big fixes included:
- Fixing an issue where certain passwords could never be used to log in as premium
- Adjusting the WoWI module such that it no longer attempts to create an HTTP client for every addon. Instead, 5 clients are now shared (I might make this user configurable). This slows down the processing of updates slightly, but has significant benefits for usabilty. Instead of getting 20 updates at 1KB/sec, you get 4 sets of 5 updates at 4KB/sec, for example. Overall I think this makes for a better experience.
- Improved addon heuristics slightly for version numbers
In addition to that, Dolby and I spent a lot of time getting our new bug tracker site up and running. It should be opened up soon so you can see the roadmap to beta and beyond.
