28 Dec 2008 |
| Yesterday we launched a series of enhancements to the packager. Here is a quick rundown of the new features: You can now include a subfolder from mercurial and git repositories as externals. You can now include tags from mercurial and git repositories as externals. You can now specify to use the latest tag of a project as an external. These features are somewhat embodied in the following example: externals: libs/LibStub: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/libstub/mainline/tags/1.0... |

11 Dec 2008 |
| There are a great number of people who are claiming that after downloading QuestHelper and/or the CurseClient that they are getting hacked, keylogged, or that their babies are being stolen by ninja mutant Elvises (or would it be Elvisi?). I'd like to point out that the first two are as likely as the last, providing that: You're only using versions of the CurseClient that have been hosting on Curse/CurseForge or ones linked to you directly by myself or other staff members (aka alphas). You're... |

| Hey, beautiful people. I've been working on a per-project role-based access control system, and it's finally in place now. You may have guessed yesterday when the site was having some downtime that something was happening, and we were working out the final kinks of the system then. Side note: Technically, this is per-repository and not per-project, but the mainline repository defines users' permissions in a project. What this means: Instead of just Project leader and authors, we can have... |

| Hey guys, Another jerk or group of jerks took advantage of the holiday weekend to spam a few thousand comments on the website. These comments, due to a small security hole in one of the parsers, was able to embed an iframe on the page. It would then in turn try to target out of date versions of Flash. We've cleaned up any of the comments that we can find, prevented any further ones from rendering, and plugged the leak in the parsers. I'm not sure exactly what he was trying to install on... |

| Hey guys. We had a trojan briefly hosted on the site here. It was accidentally approved by one of our moderators and has since been removed. We're stepping up our protections to make sure that this doesn't happen any further. The project in question was "Time Calculator" and was downloaded 88 times. I apologize for this oversight, and you have my word that we're going to be more diligent and step up our preemptive measures. I was hoping to make it a little longer than 8 months without a... |

| Hello, friends. We're going to be launching a program to award authors with redeemable points. You'll be able to spend the points on game cards or similar things. You have to opt in to receive points. You can do this at http://www.curseforge.com/home/rewards-program/.... This is still very much a work in progress, so you won't see points accumulating until we officially launch this. There also will be a wait between when points accumulate and when you can spend them at the store. Points will... |

| The State of the Client I want to start out by stating that we're well aware of the issues. We're not deluded into thinking that the current state of the Curse Client is as good as it gets. Up until this point I've been on the sidelines of the Client, however I'm pleased to say that I'm taking over the project and will be leading product development on the client. I've spent a large portion of my time over the last several weeks reading forums and talking to people to get a better idea of... |

| We've been having a lot of issues with the curse client not supporting non zip files. The lack of support for the other various compression formats is a simple matter of not wanting to bloat the client with libs to handle them. So for WoW and WAR we've decided to start blocking the uploads of the following file types. rar ace 7z tar gz bz2 This means that if you want to upload a compressed file it should be a .zip file. We're sorry for any inconveniences this may cause and we may reexamine at... |

| UI Packs are no longer supported as projects on CurseForge. We will have a proper system for UI Packs sometime soon. Thank you for your patience. We are also going to be removing existing UI Packs from CurseForge. If you are the author of an affected project, you'll receive an e-mail about this. If for some reason your legitimate project is removed, or you feel your project meets the Project Acceptance Policy, please send in a report (link will be provided in the email) or join us on IRC.... |

| Previously only files required manual approval, but since we've noticed a trend of empty projects showing up or attempts to be malicious, we've added manual approval for projects as well. What does this mean to you? Basically, you have to wait for an administrator to approve your new project (and as usual, your files). We're available pretty much all the time, though. So it shouldn't be a problem. If you feel we're slow, feel free to stop by IRC and poke us. Try poking Zyuu first, if it's... |

Until recently keeping tabs on your project (or other projects you're interested in) has been a fairly manual task. Now we have two systems in place to make this easier. The first being the RSS feeds we launched last week, but now in addition to them we have a email based subscription service. A quick rundown of how they work: 1.

22 Jul 2008 |
| Hello friends, ckknight here. I've been hacking on the packager for the past two days and one major thing that has changed is the addition of a metadata file called '.pkgmeta'. This will replace the externals box on the website. Reasons for doing so Versioning. If you change externals, it actually shows in your repository now, extremely useful for knowing what happened. Packaging after changing. Since a change to your externals now means that your repository changed, the packager will create... |

| Ok, so I've managed to import an additional 150 or so wow addons that where skipped during the initial import. I apologize for missing these the first time around. Just so you know there are a handful (read one or two) addons who's data was fairly convoluted and my importer couldn't grab them. I'm going to be preparing to grab the addons for other games soon as well as the compilations from curse.com. In the meantime those projects are editable on curse.com. |
