Bug and Feature Trackers
Fixed or newly added since last meeting
- Remove Redundant Links panel
- Remove Redundant Links Panel doesn't refresh when it should
- 'Select all' not working in Remove Redundant Links panel
- Remove Redundant Link doesn't always remove the right link
- Was this even tested??
- Undo wouldn't undo even one deletion done in Remove Redundant Links
- The way links were being removed (by creating multiple(!) TermMacroHistoryItems), the removal couldn't be undone. If you deleted even a single link, Undo wouldn't restore it.
- I have improved this behavior--you can now undo single deletions. However, if you delete multiple links at a time, Undo only successfully undoes the last one. I'm not sure why.
- Tracker item for remaining issue: Undo only restores last link removed in Remove Redundant Links
- As a beneficial side effect of improving the Undoableness, I expect link deletion to be faster than it was.
- Fixed data format to use 24 hours for writing ISO 8601 dates (e.g., creation_date). (Heiko)
Currently working on
- link filter not working properly
- I broke this in 2.1.1-b7 as a side effect of fixing another bug: In compound ancestor/descendant queries, relation list bad
- Almost fixed
Discussion
- Michael Ashburner reported that when he added two more remark: lines to gaz.obo (in a text editor) and then roundtripped it through OBO-Edit, it lost the last two remark: lines he put in.
- I am not completely sure I interpreted the scenario correctly.
- There is nothing in OE that limits how many remark lines you can have, and at any rate it seems odd that it would forget the last two remarks that were added (they are not the last two in the list, they are both somewhere in the middle of the list), so I suspect that there's a non-OE problem going on.
- He was using an extremely old version of OE but said that he also tried the latest version and had the same problem.
- I was unable to download gaz.obo from the URL Michael gave me: http://obo.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/obo/obo/ontology/environmental/ (and Michael said the latest commit of it failed--maybe a SourceForge problem?)
- I would like to do another official release soon (which I think I'll call 2.2 because 2.1.1 is too confusing)
