RC8 out!

Hello everyone (and yes that is probably only me, since no one ever comments on theses :)

Anyways, new RC out as promised, nothing really new from last nights build but I have been running some tests and such to see if I can track down the errant memory leak I found... and I did... ut I have yet to fix it, but dont worry the leak was in the shared session code so just disable shared session and you are fine. I shall (post 0.3.x) I think fix the shared session but depending on how easy it it this might be fixed before.

The highlight from this new RC is instead the brand new installer! It is much improved and works as an installer *should* so all you "MSI package people" let me know what you want configurable. The new installer will (after you pick target directory) read the old config and populate up the parameters used on the "configure dialog" the dialog "wont save" anything as of yet this will come in the next version but I wanted to get some feedback on the contents of the dialog. So if you have any ideas on what you want let me know!!! (yes... I mean that... let me know!!!) :)

Full changelog since last RC are here:

I disabled wget :(

I disallowed wget since it use up quite a lot of "my" resources, please respect this and don't "try to get around it" if you have a legit reason for it let me know and I can help you out.

Snappier site i hope...

I have added some caching to css/js which will make the site a bit snappier as well as (I hope) reduce the load on the slice. I was at a customer doing a review on a public "high profile" website and remarked on this issue and on the way home I got to thinking... wonder if I do that on my trac site... and apparently I did not as the performance increased a lot (at least for me).

As always let me know if you have any problems with it...

Also, tonight there will be some sweet updates as well! (if you do not want to wait another 24 or so hours, try the installer for the latest nightly build... :)

Updated slice to new debian as well as some other tweaks...

...so hopefully everything will run a bit faster and smoother now and especially I hope things will run more stable. If there are any issue let me know as I had to re-install trac to get things working with debian apt.
