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!

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!

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 4.1.4. This one is probably the last bugfix release for the 4.1 series. It provides 30 bug fixes, mainly in the Extension Manager, including important fixes for extensions that provide components or script services (see XCOMMONS-231 and XCOMMONS-232). It also improves the large data migration introduced in 4.0, in particular to support MS-SQL, and fixes an important issue that cause the migration of annotations to be unintentionally skipped.
