[Mediawiki-l] ENotif and EAuthent for version REL1_4 (1.4.1) -- coming soon

[Thomas Gries]

For your information:
I fully succeeded in porting ENotif and EAuthent from the CVS HEAD 
version back to REL1_4 (1.4.1).

All functions **do** already work, but I decided to invest more time for 
tests and perhaps further optimizations. If everything works out fine, I 
can hold my promised release date 09-APR-2005.

It will also be the first version supplying users with direct 
"difference between current and last-visited-revision" links (for 
watched pages on recent-changes view, see [3]). The feature can also be 
used by those who opted to not receive email notifications (ENotifs).

It also allows EAuthent [2], so that all mail functions except "mail me 
a temporary password, because I forgot it" only work after the user has 
authenticated the entered email address. The mechanism is explained in [2].

Proper config/installation and updaters code and plenty of 
sysop-settings and user options are supplied, see screenshots [4].

Developers, who are interested, are asked to add their email addresses 
to the CC list of the mentioned bugzillas.
