    Fixed bugs for 4.5-4.6

    I am currently working with 4.5 and 4.6-alpha. I have encountered various bugs, which in most cases I have solved by patching Umbraco.

    Not wanting to run a private fork of Umbraco, I have reported about a dozen of these bugs on CodePlex over the last few days. In most cases I provide debug information and a suggested fix.

    Now I am wondering, is this the right way to proceed? In other words, will the Core Team have bandwidth enough to go through them (and the ~600 other work items on CodePlex) before v5?

    This is a genuine question, not trying to flame anybody or get immediate attention. Would it be more efficient to group everything in one big patch? To submit patches instead of reporting bugs? Or?

    Read this wiki about how to report bugs: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/submitting-bug-reports.

    As for Umbraco v5 it will be a complete rewrite with MVC so most of the current bugs probably won't exist in v5.

    I am aware of the wiki page about submitting bugs, and of the status of v5. Niels recently wondered whether CG11 should be v4- or v5-focussed (assuming some sort of alpha or beta v5 exists at that time): seeing how... hem... fubar some parts of v4 code are, I'd rather vote for v5.

    Don't get we wrong: v4 rocks and we do great things with it. Yet fixing v4 bugs can be somewhat painful, publishing them takes time, and at the end of the day... is it worth it?

    I don't know where I'm going here... I suppose the question is, "what shall we do with v4?", and I'd be happy to know what people think about it.

    Hi Stephen,

    V4 is not going away, currently 85000+ websites are using Umbraco and mostly using Umbraco v4. There will be updates with patches and security fixes, so if you find a bug and can create a patch for it that is awesome! So yes it is worth it.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Are you submitting patches? There haven't been many patches come through recently.

    If you're just putting a fix in an issue (or the comments to an issue) they'll likely get lost very quickly. There would be at least half a dozen notifications of issue changes and the codeplex email is just terrible to spot code in.

    Patches are a lot easier to see come in.

    @slace: no, just reported issues. I'll re-submit my fixes as patches.

    I've also just uploaded 5 patches. These are for the following workitems:

    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/29009
    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/28758
    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/28733
    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/28762
    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/28763

    Hopefully these patches will be applied to Umbraco 4.6 JUNO.
