You should share it.

It doesn't matter if your update looks horrible, your update is a valued part of the creation process and deserves every right to be proudly showcased out there for the world to see. At WIPUP, we believe that this in-between is just as important and breathtakingly awesome as the finished product iself - it's the hidden spectacular adventure behind the creation. Anything from a brainwave of an idea to a tiny nudge of a pixel - we want you to use WIPUP to suit your workflow.

WIPUP 22.08.10b has just been released. Following the first ever beta version of WIPUP, this version mainly adds polish to existing features. This should provide a better experience throughout the interface and again, we hope you enjoy using it just as much as we do.

To continue the tradition of quoting statistics (there are lies, damned lies, and statistics) using Git measurements we have a stunning 1,043 source lines of code added, and a meager 1,168 source lines of code deleted. This gives a net total of 125 source lines of code deleted. This has been spread over 15 commits.

Right - to the features presentation ceremony!

Pastebin revision support added!

One of the great things of a pastebin is the ability to highlight the syntax of the particular coding language that your paste is in. Now another great thing is support for multiple, user-contributed revisions of your paste. This makes pastebinning suitable not only for code, but for work in progress literary works as well.

A revision is a modified version of the original paste. We support comparing between them (diffs), as well as intelligent inline diff highlighting so you know what has changed between multiple revisions of the same paste. This feature was actually previewed in this WIP update.

The pastebin also had some love in terms of aesthetics, supporting a few prettier colours, linewrap support, and plenty of colours when comparing diffs.

As this update was mostly about polish most of our features aren't big but add up when you consider them as a whole. Hopefully the following list should make it easier to see what's new.

Updates that you can't write a long paragraph about

  • Social sharing buttons in WIPs.
  • Better designed error pages for non-standard errors.
  • Existing attachment thumbnails are shown when editing WIPs.
  • The project carousel and summary preview has been added to the WIP viewing page.
  • We've removed the random update section due to irrelevancies. (replaced with the above)
  • Legal page was updated. Nothing to worry about.
  • WIPSpace has a new design which looks snazzier, and should be prettier to new members.
  • Project page design edited slightly.
  • More variety of icons used throughout the site.
  • Navigation layout reorganised yet again.
  • Cleared up add update / add project forms using informational tooltips to not overwhelm the user.
  • Cut out success / error pages and replaced with top messages instead. This got rid of 17 source files!
  • You can now kudos + subscribe automatically while writing a comment. You should be liberal when giving kudoses.
  • Notification when deleting comments.
  • Updated README file for developers.
  • All webpages and emails are automatically turned into links in all descriptions.
  • The validation check on website URLs in profiles have been made a little bit more intuitive.
  • Revised rounding up mechanism for dashboard statistics. (shouldn't affect anything much)
  • Markup improvements and cleanup when formatting descriptions throughout the site.
  • Downloadable attachments in WIPs are now forced (no need to right click -> save as) and provides a sane filename (without timestamp).
  • Better filesize calculations for downloadable attachments.

Notable Bugfixes

  • No more email notifications for your own activity.
  • Fixed wrong tracking URL in newsfeed.
  • Prevent double submitting via refreshing after success / error messages.
  • Fixed checkbox size bug.

Comments and kudos much appreciated. If you haven't already, go sign up and tell us how it is. If you want to contribute to WIPUP, we have a lovely development page to look at.
