A new version of euWeb has been deployed. The new version has two main changes:
- Ticket system that is integrated with the rest of euWeb.
- All database access now uses eDBI.
The ticket system incorporates with the rest of euWeb via using the same user account system, creole formatting in various places and you can also reference bug reports in any creole formatted area with [[ticket:123]], i.e. ticket:2.
Old bugs will still be tracked and run out on the SourceForge Bug Tracker.
The change to using eDBI was a big one and an important one. Database access is now database independent but more than that, it's easy. For instance, when you query a database table that contains a string, integer, atom and date, you get a string, integer, atom and date value back, not just sequences that then leaves the developer to the task of converting the data to usable formats.
