Atalaya Studio

Today, I worked on a couple of minor fixes to NAVT. The first set of fixes came about from my playing with some of the more obscure features and I decided to fine-tune them a little. So when I was finished and happy, I released 1.0.15.

Later I received a comment that since 1.0.14, NAVT was no longer compatible with Word Press 2.3 because I substituted a function I had written for parsing embedded navigation lists in pages and posts with a Word Press shortcode implementation. So, after putting that function back in and testing for Word Press 2.5 and after adding a new debug feature (for another problem I couldn’t find) I released 1.0.16 within an hour of releasing 1.0.15.

While I was working on 1.0.16 and while adding the debug feature, there was a discussion going on in the forum about losing navigation groups after saving a page. This was the reason for the debug feature I added. After more discussion I decided to try this save-a-page thing myself and… low and behold I managed to duplicate the problem for the first time myself. It wasn’t that difficult to find once I knew where I was looking… Stupid is the only adjective I can find for that one. After fixing that problem I released 1.0.17.

Three releases within a four hour period? I really hate back-to-back releases because people have to continually download updates and I think it dilutes the meaning of fixes somehow… the but these were necessary.

Some days are just more painful than others. I’d sincerely like to thank those of you who bring these issues up in the forum – it helps improve the plugin for everyone.
