5.9.2009About MJGUEST project status
Dear visitors and users, firstly: MJGUEST project is not dead!
I've been very busy this year, because of my studies, health issues and social life.
I could spend very little time on web stuff (which surprises myself, first).
I won't be able to take up MJGUEST development till late 2009, or so.
Although I have plans to release new updates to the guestbook, I can't provide
tech support by now. If you find out critical bugs, please email me to "mjguest @ mdsjack.bo.it" address.
Please don't write for installation issues or such, I simply won't answer.
If you are interested in taking over the project by acquiring ownership rights on the code to develop
a project on your own, please write me at "agreement @ mdsjack.bo.it" so that we can discuss about it.
Donating (or buying copyright label removal) would help in keeping the web site alive. Thank you all.
Cheers,
mdsjack
22.10.2008MJGUEST 6.8gt package updated, plus EVO version available
The updated package of MJGUEST comes with few, yet significant, updates:
- Fixed XSS vulnerability in javascript popup opener
- PDO driver didn't escape strings correctly
- Solved MySQL driver bug (default value for blob/text fields not allowed)
- Long words were not split correctly when using non-western languages
- Dropped GD1 library compatibility (now GD2 is required for captcha and avatars)
In addition to that, a bonus version for developers has been released: v.6.8gt-EVO. It features a strict PHP 5.3 core and it only supports the new PDO database drivers.
It is available for download on our website.
Check them out!
24.08.2008Should MJGUEST move to PHP5?
Please tell us if you're still using MJGUEST under PHP4. According to the results of the poll, we will decide whether MJGUEST
should move to PHP5 only, dropping any PHP4 compatibility.
On one hand, removing PHP4 support would mean less bugs, a faster and more stable application; on the other hand, a few current users
whose host has not moved to PHP5 yet might not be able to download MJGUEST, most likely until PHP 5.3 is released.
