POP Forums v7.5.0 final posted

I won't post the changes (again) here, but last night, or rather this morning, I posted the final distribution of POP Forums v7.5.0.

This is only an incremental upgrade, not something amazing and new. The real highlight of it is that the text parsing engine is finally producing something XHTML compliant (if my test coverage is any good). It's not the cleanest code ever, but it works, and it doesn't bring the server to its knees to do it. Two pluses for any software. ;) It was always kind of a source of embarassment to have mangled HTML creep up into a page every once in awhile, so after like five years of messing with it, I'm glad it works now.

There's a site I very much would like to build and deploy before the end of the week, then I can turn my attention back to v8. My motivation for working on that had slipped a bit since it's not like I can use it in production until beta 2 of Whidbey. It has been hanging out in the corner of my mind though, and that has allowed me to think some things out regarding its overall architecture. I think it'll be better than I originally conceived it.
