broken eljay code

[kunzite1]

1. hitbox: going live without informing users that they were going to be collecting information.
2. nudge: a gateway for unsolicited email.
3. zilla to rt: old tracker worked fine. why the change? a handful of errors have been found in rt that didn't exist in zilla.
4. css parser: goes live without documentation about how to fix errors. still no list of what the error messages actually mean.
5. vgifts: a gateway for unwanted messages being placed on userinfo pages.
6. new default s1 style: all users who had "Default LiveJournal" as their style were changed to generator.
7. new voicepost code: broke s2 layouts that weren't using Entry::print_text() to print entry text.
8. fucked up s1 layouts due to ads.
9. fucked up form tags in custom style code and entries.
10. new location metadata that lacks translationalness, ways to undo it, and useful linking techniques.
11. new scrapbook layout that looks like blue lj xcolibur pages and will confuse users who were used to the old format. also, no "remove" button for first file uploader thingy on upload page.
12. new style contest without specifically stating that it's for MT and not s2. er. could have been worded better since it was kinda hidden to me the first time through. in any case, people aren't really going to be able to enter if they don't know how to initialize bloggish and realize that it's still got many problems in it.
13. cvs to svn: corrupted non-ascii files.
14. navigation strip: space is made but strip not printed in custom s1 styles that have overridden *_PAGE or s2 layers that have overridden Page::print(). to fix this, a howto entry and an s2howto entry have been written.
15. new scrapbook update. new upload page has "remove" button for first item. wonky placement though. announced here.
16. new edit profile/account settings/comment settings pages: new customization interface not live, so, can't edit global title/subtitle. have to open support request or simply wait for it to go live. whenever it does. also announced here. (planned for 20060516. not live until 20060602.)
17. C[attle|ontextual] Prodding (CProd): poll module has funkay space. birthday cake for birthdays module not uploaded. also announced here. (uploaded on 20060512)
18. preliminary ESN support: added full linkbars to all s2 layouts. created new image for edit tags link in boxer. new image not uploaded. also announced here. (all the rest of the ESN front-end is not live but it doesn't break anything by not being there. new edit tags image for boxer has been uploaded.)
19. full linkbars to s2 layouts: side-effect of s2's wonky Null object parsing is displaying all links, whether or not the remote viewer can perform that task. don't worry though, if someone who isn't able to perform the task clicks the link, they'll get the appropriate error message. interestingly enough, this behavior is not present for Comment objects but only Entry objects. new code has been written to unify the behavior of these links in both Entry objects and Comment objects and to also make the "Nullness" of s2 objects more correct. issue noted here. (entered into changelog here and here. accompanied by RT #1872. also planned to go live on 20060516. possibly live on 20060519.)
20. new customization interface goes live but it fucks up your s2 settings if you click each tab at the top.
