About bugs

[Kelvin Situ]

I've tried Prestashop since version 0.97 to now 1.2.5
The things I hate are:
1) The new version fixed the old version's bugs, which is good. But it also created new bugs because new features involved.
2) After you installed the "final" version, some stupid bugs there. Some features are old and working fine, the programmer modified it but didn't even test the function. Then the bugs are found by users. Some users just copied the old version's code for that feature.
3) When Prestashop found the solution for bugs, they don't upload to the current version. Why??? A lot of people are still downloading the current version. Can Prestashop just update that bugs on the fly? Just copy and paste one or more files. This will save a lot of time on troubleshooting.
4) "The bug is fixed in SVN version." Can we just download the SVN version? Or just tell us how to fix the bug.
4) I hate to keep updating. Once update, I have to spend time on themes and testing. Why can't Prestashop just upload the solutions for the bugs in current version. Like Microsoft did their patches. Even on Windows, I just stick on Windows XP now. If it is working fine and good enough, no meaning to keep updating. Time is money.
5) I don't mind you create new features in newer version, but please fix the current version first and let us download. Thanks.

Thanks for reading, please add your comments. Hope Prestashop can improve it.

Hi Kelvin,

Keep in mind PrestaShop is a free software developped by well-motivated people!

You can contribute to bug reports and bug fixing sessions if you want

We fixed more than 80 bugs these last weeks and growing... 1.3 version will be very clean and stable.

We are doing our best to reduce the bug number however like in all software there are bugs (Windows, Firefox... and even bank and aiport terminals!)

Best regards,

[Kelvin Situ]

Thanks for the hard works, I understand you guys did a great job.

But once I download the 1.3 version, then I have to fix the theme or wait for another free theme for the 1.3 version.
Too much wait time.
I prefer to download the known solutions for the current version, then I can close the current project. I don't want to keep updating all the previous project with the newer version if it is working fine except with a litte bugs.

Thanks again.

Kelvin


For example, http://www.prestashop.com/forums/newreply/40127/
The kind of bug, actually it isn't a bug, the programmer didn't test the function. Or the programmer didn't upload the latest files. This happened all the time.

Details:
serialScrollNbImagesDisplayed should be named pc_serialScrollNbImagesDisplayed
Same thing for other vriables

The good syntax is:

function pc_serialScrollFixLock(event, targeted, scrolled, items, position){
$('#productscategory_scroll_left').css('cursor', position == 0 ? 'default' : 'pointer').fadeTo(500, position == 0 ? 0.2 : 1);
$('#productscategory_scroll_right').css('cursor', position + pc_serialScrollNbImagesDisplayed == pc_serialScrollNbImages ? 'default' : 'pointer').fadeTo(500, position + pc_serialScrollNbImagesDisplayed == pc_serialScrollNbImages ? 0.2 : 1);
return true;
}
