The first entry of the Release Notes leads to:
“Confidential Bug Reports and Feature Requests — Xojo documentation”
The subject is:
Xojo can now create and use libraries with Desktop, Web, Console and iOS projects. (78006)
So using Libraries is confidential ?
PS: I then stopped reading the Release Notes.
What? No, using Libraries is not confidential, whatever that would mean. The initial case, in the feedback system, is marked as confidential, for whatever reason. Yes, it’s frustrating when clicking links in the release notes, I get it, but I understand that sometimes cases are private or internal.
It’s not a case nor a bug report, it is a new feature…
Of course, this is an error. Who does the proof reading ?
Yes, I am angry.
The Release Note have not been changed, two days after posting it.
Worst, these links (below) point to the same wrong page:
Chill out! This isn’t a matter of life and death…
It would be very great if there could be some kind of a “protected area” where the private project could be stored, while the description and progress stay public and available.
Actually, it can be achieved my making 2 cases, one public and one private, and linking the latter from the former, but I get it that no one would make it just for the sake of letting others know what it’s about.
In the end, we sometimes don’t know whether an improvement affects us (individually), and, IMO, it should be fixed.
Non, but lorsqu’il y a accumulation (il n’y a pas que Xojo dans la vie), il arrive un moment où il y en a marre…
Without telling that… someone does not makes its work correctly.
At release time, Xojo should create a public mirror of all private cases of a release, that case will include some kind of public summary of the case at a safe level of public information allowed and a link to the private case. The release notes will include that one, not the private ones.
However, one could also leave everything as it is, as long as the entry in the changelog clearly describes what has been changed, even without a specific case behind it.
That would lead to an unreadable list, and sometimes with insufficient data like missing images and samples.
This release needs 8 public mirror entries for the issues:
A Release Note is created to give information.
In those cases (sorry, I do not checked many entries, only the first 3 NEW FEATURES) it is beyond understanding to place “Confidential” LINKS.
It’s just like if…
You come from the kitchen with cakes that smell good (at dinner time) and told your family “these are not for you”.
Remember: usually, at dinner time everybody is hungry…
