#release notes for 4chandk-24022007

Release notes for 4chandk-24022007. Also known as "BigBang"

Before you read

The script may contain errors, these notes may contain errors, everything else may contain errors. However, I release this due to the fact that it works (for me), I won't have time to work on it the next week, and would like the opportunity to get some feedback. Please, if you have anything to say, don't hesitate to write me an e-mail (bottiger @ gmail.com), or submit a bug: http://code.google.com/p/4chandk/issues/list.*

How is this for

This release is for testing, playing and debugging only! The board itself should works more or less, but since the admin-panel is more or less non-existing, no caching is done, and the script is very unstable1 I can't recommend that you use it in real life.

1 Not unstable as it will break your server, but unstable as in: "It will change a lot, never versions will not be backwards compatible, and I will not make a nifty upgrade script for you."

What works?

See the roadmap: http://bottiger.com/Imageboard_Roadmap Basically it says: "The boards works more or less, but may be slow, and you don't really have an admin-panel to control your boards".

Requirements

The short version: A standard up-to-date webhost. The long version: A webserver with PHP5, MySQL5 and GBlib

I know, not all of you have this, some hosts are still running PHP/MySQL 4, but that's just to bad :( I don't plan on ever making this compatible with PHP/MySQL 4.

Installation

Since there isn't a nifty installer you need to manually load database.sql into your database, and then edit config/config.php. Only the first couple of lines are required.

oh yeah, and don't forget to chmod tmp/ (and it's subfolders) to 777, or just make sure it's writable to the webserver if you know better.

Known bugs

I still don't know why, but on some servers the script just dies when uploading a large image, even with meromy_limit turned off: If you find any other bugs (and you will) don't hesitate to report them: http://code.google.com/p/4chandk/issues/list
