- This doesn't concern Drummer users directly, but I thought it deserved a change note.#
- I installed the new version of Old School on the server that builds Scripting News. This predates Drummer by 4.5 years, so it works somewhat differently. It seems to work, I did a bunch of writing and rebuilding this morning. I made a couple of changes in cosmetic areas. The result is something that looks exactly like it should as far as I can tell. #
- In a change note on the 28th, I talked about how you can delete days off the end of your outline, how this is a necessary feature for Scripting News, where I have been writing in the same OPML file for 4.5 years. It would have become unwieldy long before. #
- Here's my suggestion for Drummer users considering using this feature, and I think eventually most of you will want to use it. #
- Wait until November 1 or 2, after I give the all-clear, when we see if it works on Scripting News, and after I've had a chance to fix any resulting problems. #
- I'd rather be the test case on this myself before trying to figure out why something went wrong on one of your systems. #
- This is new code, and it's better to assume it has problems than just assuming it works as documented. Remember Murphy's Law and It's even worse than it appears. #
