What are the additional features in 1.3?

Question

You had asked a question seeking top priorities for 1.3/1.4 (http://www.question2answer.org/qa/2638/what-are-the-top-priorities-for-version-1-3-1-4), for which 13  users gave answer, including me. Among the 13 suggestions, kindly let us know what are the features you have chosen to implement in 1.3.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Version 1.3 beta 1 has been released.

I've prioritized the features as below but I can't tell you exactly how far down the list I will get by the end of the month, when the first beta is scheduled for release:

1. Basic plug-in architecture. Done.
2. Integrate CKEditor WYSIWYG editor as a plug-in. Done.
3. Show editing of posts in 'All Activity' and IP address pages. Done.
4. Avatars (either by image upload or Gravatar). Done.
5. Fix POST/page refresh issue. Done.
6. Integrate external logins (starting with FB Connect). Done.
7. User titles based on points. Done.
8. Allow extra page types to be added via plug-ins. Done.
9. Support Google Sitemap. Done.
10. Custom profile fields. Done.

Please note that this list is approximate and there could be changes if it turns out that something will take a particularly long time to implement. Also there are a bunch of smaller things which I hope to do along the way.

I'm aware that badges are a common request but are not on the above list. I decided not to implement them in this version for a few reasons - sorry if that doesn't suit some people.

I'm looking forward to these additions!  Just wondering, in regard to Avatar support- will it be possible to enable "Show Avatar" instead of "Show Votes and Answers" on the main page where questioned are displayed?

Hello. stackoverflow.com code into the text, such as uses for the site, how can I quote.
for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4018554/error-while-trying-to-parse-a-youtube-search-feed

I agree with @demo that there should be a [code] entering feature.

---

In the meantime for the code, you can use googles prettify, as I did on my site: http://quanda.pl. If you are interested in how I did it, please let me know.

Where can download latest build with the above mentioned features?

Thanks~

What is POST/page refresh issue ?

---

If You enter a question or answer and later hit F5 or Backspace You see a confirmation screen regarding Your provided data. Now in the new version the page is refreshed instantly. For less experienced internet users it was a little bit uncomfortable to see that screen.

Excellent, thank You so much for the google sitemap feature, but as well thanks to Frerichs from http://www.frageee.de who provided his free sitemap script some time ago.
