Hi, Reed. Rest assured, many of your wishes are planned for the future. But when you have a big project, you've got to pick some things.
Last week's release was an important milestone: it was the minimal feature set that would yield a cohesive experience under a UI new design. The new design solves a lot of usability problems, removes some serious limitations, and gives us places to put several things planned for the near future. Now, ordinarily, I abhor big-red-lever launches, as evidenced by our continued rollout of features onto production while the UI work was in progress and the fact that we deployed 7 times yesterday. However, you can't always iterate your way to big user-facing changes and make sense the whole time. So don't take the current state as an end; it's just an uncharacteristically large step, worthy of a release announcement. Let me address your individual wishes: > * Where are the non-mozilla-central repositories? Coming! One of the big UI-branch features is improved support for multiple trees. The UI for that is hidden right now, since there's only one tree indexed. But we're working on comm-central right now. Aurora is next. Then we'll continue pulling in more, in order of the popularity they see on MXR. I think you'll like what you see. > * Where's the integration with CVS? > * Where are the links to see changes over the last day, week, month, > etc.? A lower priority since there are plenty of other ways to poll version control. However, we have a flexible framework for VCS integration (https://github.com/mozilla/dxr/blob/master/dxr/plugins/omniglot/htmlifier.py), and this would be an easy first bug, if it's important to you. (If you can get a bunch of people to hoot and holler about how important it is, we'll move it up the roadmap.) > * Why do I have to click on "Navigation" just to get basic functionality? That was already ticketed, and I fixed it yesterday; the nav pane is now disclosed by default. More is planned: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968020. > * Why is it not accessible over SSL? There's an IT bug filed about that, but indexing more trees is higher priority right now. Do you have a specific use case in mind? Feel free to have a look at our roadmap (https://wiki.mozilla.org/DXR_Roadmap) and add constructively to it.
