Foren-Version: 4
Release: 7
Datum: 01. Oktober 2009
New Features
- Code Formatting Support for C++: Code formatting now includes support for C++ language.
Updates
- RSS Feeds for Community Activity
We have created a few new RSS feeds for some integration scenarios with MSDN coming in a few weeks:
- RSS support for Forum Syndication
We have added RSS to the forum syndication options (previously we only enabled atom feeds). We have changed the default behind the syndication orange buttons in all the forums to RSS. The Atom XML Files will work very well in future as well.
- Answers Specific Updates
We have done a few things specific to the answers forums platforms. We have updated the Ask page for a variety of reasons, most of them usability related. We ran some usability tests on the Ask a Question page and implemented some of the suggestions from the usability folks. The page is also easier for use to maintain and enhance in the coming months. Aside from updating this page we did some additional back end work on instrumentation which ultimately helps us understand more about how users are using the application.
Error Logging and Reporting Enhancements
We have done some internal work to integrate some error handling libraries to help us more quickly address 500s and other errors some of our users have reported. We will have more accessibility into the error text being logged on the back end which should lead to a more reliable application later.
MSDN Specific "New Thread" log in text
MSDN Users asking questions when not logged in will see some additional useful information when posting explaining there are some related useful external sites and resources to get help. Prior to this change we simply showed users a link to sign in. The new text and links explains there are asp.net and other sites available, provides links and also explains to users they need both a live id and profile to participate.
New Locale Support (fi-fi, en-ie, en-sg, de-ch, fr-ch)
Have added some support for a new locales. These will come online sometime in the coming weeks and months depending on the internal resources to create and maintain forums in these newly supported locales.
What about the Bridge?
Users of the offline client NNTP Bridge beta will have to wait a few more weeks for an update. We simply have not been able to make enough progress on the really important bugs we think were blocking and did not want to make an update available just for the sake of making an update available. We want to address the blocking bugs and this will take a little more time.
