We had another good night of bug fixing in the WiX toolset. We started well above 30, with a couple more bugs in the MSI 5.0 implementation and some fallout from the large heat changes. The worst of those are fixed and we're back under 30 with 26 open bugs.
Last night I was looking around to see how ASP.NET MVC was doing and noticed Phil Haack posted that ASP.NET MVC RC2 was available. I was disappointed that the RC2 was basically all setup work.
This was the week I was waiting for. Tonight we finally dropped the WiX toolset well under 30 bugs. Almost all of the bugs that have been "just about fixed" came in tonight and we killed double digit bugs.
It might not look like it but we made progress on WiX toolset bugs tonight. There is a fix inbound for the remaining candle and pyro bugs. The documentation bug is actually something on the MSDN side of things, I believe. Votive and DTF still are not seeing progress due to missing members. Net we're up 3 bugs from last week with 35 as the total.
I should have posted something earlier this week before the whole world here just disappeared. Anyway, at 5PM on February 23rd http://robmensching.com underwent a major move. Everything here migrated from one ISP to another. It would have been smooth transition if there wasn't a small bit of miscommunication between my old provider and me.
Shared stories are an important part of any culture. We have our fair share of long running stories and jokes amongst the core WiX developers. Most of these stories have some connection to typical geek culture. One of my favorite is the story about the nature of the universe and all things WiX.
Again we started with a spike in WiX toolset bugs this week. I keep hoping we'll start some Thursday night with no new bugs from the week but we're clearly not there yet. Unfortunately, this week we picked up more bugs in our current weak spots, Votive and DTF. Anyway, it looks like we'll finish up this week with 32 bugs open.
Started with another small rise in bugs for the WiX toolset this week. With the effort tonight we're back under 30 bugs. On the upside the light bug was finally resolved but the AppSearch bug in candle continues to haunt us. Votive and DTF bugs continue inch up since the owners are out right now.
