<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page describes our plan for making [[LicenseChooser.js]] something we want people to use.<br />
= Pre-releases =<br />
The following are "preview" versions, not things we suggest you use in a massive public-facing web service.<br />
== 0.1 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* It exists at all!<br />
== 0.2 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* Correct questions<br />
== 0.3 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* Apache Content Negotiation for language selection<br />
* (Hopefully) stable API for importing and exporting license choices<br />
* IE (6 and 7) compatibility<br />
== 0.4 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* all HTML elements and CSS classes are prefixed with cc_js_ to avoid namespace clashes with others' apps<br />
* Safari compatibility<br />
* Opera compatibility<br />
<br />
At this point, there is '''feature completeness''' for the core LicenseChooser.js code. There is code clean-up to do after this, and there is external translation work to do, but that should be all. Bugfixes as needed before 1.0.<br />
== 0.5 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* (X) Massive clean-out of unused JavaScript code and unused CSS style<br />
* (X) Remove dependency on Prototype<br />
* (X) Performance analysis, fixes based on this<br />
** done for client-server side, and small client side performance fix implemented (only change visible selected license if the license really changed) because it decreases "flicker" in the UI<br />
* (X) Security analysis of server-side and client-side code, fixes based on this<br />
<br />
== 0.7 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* (X) code prettification (by Asheesh) (enough is done)<br />
** (Forget using zc.buildout for dependencies<br />
<br />
== 0.8 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
Backend-only release:<br />
* (X) Come up with a solid story for auto-updating jurisdictions<br />
* (X) Come up with a solid story for auto-updating translations<br />
* (X) Decide/describe promises that the version numbers mean<br />
<br />
== 0.9 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* (X) (Faked) A hidden form field for selecting a jurisdiction and removing the juri chooser.<br />
* (X) All strings are extracted<br />
== 0.91 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* (X) A real option for pre-selecting a jurisdiction<br />
* (X) An option for not choosing a license at all<br />
* (X) An option to make no license the default<br />
* (X) Hopefully finalized strings and placement of info boxes<br />
<br />
== 0.92 ==<br />
* '''RELEASED'''<br />
* (X) UI prettification (done by Alex)<br />
* (X) Sentence that gets generated at bottom is localized, too<br />
<br />
== 0.99 ==<br />
* Truly finalized strings and info box placement<br />
* Just like 1.0, hopefully.<br />
* Sort the JS generated dropdown list by the visible English jurisdiction names<br />
<br />
= Release =<br />
The following are versions we suggest you use in a massive public-facing web service.<br />
== 1.0 ==<br />
* All strings are translated<br />
* We have a story for keeping this up with high reliability<br />
* We have a story for keeping releases maintained as far as language and jurisdiction updates<br />
* It looks nice</div>Greg Grossmeier
