  • link filter not working properly
    • "Regardless of what I select in the first drop-down menu (self, type, parent, child), my only options are Namespace, Is intersection, Is necessary, Is implied, and Is redundant."
    • I broke this in 2.1.1-b7 as a side effect of fixing another bug: In compound ancestor/descendant queries, relation list bad
    • I fixed this, but have one question: I know parent and child should show all the options (Name, Synonym, etc.), but what about Type?

Currently working on

  • Cycle Check doesn't work
    • The Cycle Check verification check doesn't find cycles (tight or loose)
    • Tests on OBO-Edit versions as far back as 2.0 have not turned up any version in which this worked. Perhaps it worked at some point before release 2.0.
