lava 17 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 LabVIEW Wiki: We've updated the LabVIEW Wiki to the latest MediaWiki supported version (1.16). Changed the skin to the latest one which is also used on Wikipedia and MediaWiki. It's very clean and modern. Added a reCAPTCHA extension to trap bot registrations. Also added a bunch of other extensions to hopefully reduce spam pages which we've been getting lately. Removed the wysiwyg editor because it was adding bad formatting to pages. Replaced the editor with the new one used on MediaWiki and Wikipedia. It's better than the plain wikitext editor and has some cool help features built-in to assist with editing when you forget the syntax. LAVA Code Repository (CR): Updated to the latest version which adds a bunch of cool features: New imroved landing page. Which highlights code better and allows for "Featured" main entry. Built in version number feature. Now, there is a built-in feature for version numbers. Before we had to add a custom field for this. We are slowly deprecating the use of the old field. New Changelog feature. Now there is a field for changelogs. So with every new version of your file, you can fill in the changelog and LAVA CR keeps track of it. No need to put his in your description section anymore. It also gives you a summary page with a complete changelog history. Old feature but worth mentioning: You can submit multiple files. When the user clicks the download button, they are presented with an option to download one or more files associated with your submission. With this version, we now have the ability to provide free or paid tools on LAVA. If anyone is interested in selling their tools. please send an email to support@lavag.org. In addition to the above changes, the LAVA team is always tweaking and adjusting things behind the scenes to make your stay here more enjoyable. As always, we welcome feedback. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ton Plomp 169 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Featured sounds like 'studied and selected' (perhaps paid?), but it looks like it incorperates the last addition. Is that correct? Ton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ton For now it's stuff that I feel needs to be featured. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
