We hold a #bugfixingday on the first Thursday of every month with the goal of making a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio. 

This month the participation for BFD #7 was quite low (it was a bank holiday in France!), having just 4 bugs closed. There is a remainder of 57 bugs count that I'm sure we can 'eradicate' during our next Bug Fixing Day which should happen on 6 December 2012. 

Here are some stats (full stats here):

Every bug closed counts, so let's make sure our next #bugfixingday will be a real success!

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 4.3 Milestone 1.

This release brings several improvements in Workspaces, Extension Manager, Distribution Wizard and the REST API. It is also possible to activate the multiwiki feature when using the HSQLDB database (i.e., in the standalone version of XWiki Enterprise). 

It also provides several important fixes for bugs related to importing Office Documents while using filesystem attachments.

See: the release notes for more information.

Yesterday we've had a #bugfixingday and we've achieved incredible results just for one day! 66 bugs closed! The main goal was to make a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio which was starting to diverge too much. Over a period of 360 days we had diverged by over 118 bugs and we're now under only by 52 bugs which hopefully we'll be able to squash completely during the next Bug Fixing Day.

We wanted to thank all who have participated (Committers and Contributors alike) and who made this day a success. 

Here are some stats (full stats here):

Again many thanks to all who have participated!
