Hi list !

The refactoring to use RubyLess in the templates and improve custom  
attributes handling (Property) that started in autumn 2009 was quite big  
and now many tests in the 1.0 branch fail.

Such important changes are hard to endure because there is a time when  
the feature set and stability of the new development branch (1.0-pre)  
goes way below the current stable branch (master = 0.16.x) and moving  
all the codebase back up (3 years of production ready code enhancements)  
takes time.

So this is an email to ask for any kind of help regarding this bug  
fixing task (30% unit test failure).

If you can help fix the tests, please fork  
[GitHub - zena/zena: zena is a state-of-the-art CMS (content managment system) based on Ruby on Rails with a focus on usability, ease of customization and web 2.0 goodness (application like behaviour).](http://github.com/zena/zena.git) and use “rake test:units” to see the  
list of failing tests. Before fixing bugs, tell zena’s the mailing list  
or contact gaspard(at)teti.ch to coordinate bug fixing.

If you cannot help with the bug fix but think Zena is an interesting  
project, just drop us a line of encouragement !

Thanks for any feedback.

Gaspard

PS: You can use ‘gold’ to ease code update and pushing:

> **[GitHub - zena/gold: Team work using git made easy.](https://github.com/zena/gold)**
>
> Team work using git made easy. Contribute to zena/gold development by creating an account on GitHub.

During setup:

reviewer email = gaspard(at)teti.ch  
current gold branch = 1.0-pre (not master)

If you do not want to use gold, you have to track the “1.0-pre” branch  
by hand:

git clone [http://github.com/[YOUR\_NAME]/zena.git](http://github.com/%5BYOUR_NAME%5D/zena.git)  
git remote add zena git://github.com/zena/zena.git  
git fetch zena  
git checkout --track -b gold zena/1.0-pre
