Hi all,
A quick update on the status of the Infusion Builder. We hit another
blocker during QA testing, documented here:
http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-3473
It's a somewhat elusive issue but severe enough that we don't think
the Builder is quite ready for release at this point. The fix is
foundational, involving a change to the way we process and respond to
requests in the server-side PHP code.
As a community, we're juggling a lot right now. I'd like to simplify
the development roadmap a little bit by putting the Builder on the
shelf for a few months while we focus on producing the next release of
Engage. We have a key milestone in mid-February with McCord's pilot of
Engage in their museum, which we're all really excited about. Once
Engage 0.3 is out, we'll dive back into the last major blocker for the
Builder and aim to get it out in the spring.
I know this is all a little disappointing for everyone, and I'd like
to thank you all for your hard work designing, developing, and testing
the Builder. It'll come.

Hi all,
As Justin mentioned before the holidays, a few unexpected issues
popped up during QA testing for the Infusion Builder. We've reopened
the bug parade and the problems have nearly all been addressed.
It looks like the last outstanding tasks involve getting the new
deployment server all set up for the Builder, and doing final code
review on the changes to the Infusion Ant build scripts. We hope to
wrap this work up tomorrow.
This release of the Infusion Builder will ship with three primary
known issues:
* Users can't exclude modules that are required by another selected
module (even if they're unchecked)
* If an unexpected error occurs, the Builder reports errors in a way
that isn't particularly user-friendly
* Clicking the download button causes an abrupt page transition and
shows an activity indicator that spins infinitely, even after the
download has begun.
The plan is to free the code again and start QA testing tomorrow. We
really, really need help with testing (it's not hard), so if you've
got some spare cycles this week and can lend a hand, please let the
list know.
Colin
