Howdy -- when does that warning in the miniserv.error occur? What action was taking place in Webmin at the time?

Good question. But I'm not sure.

Variables should be defined in most programming languages using strict methods. Otherwise notice is returned. It not fatal error.

I think Jamie will figure out in minutes.

Sorry I can't provide you with more info!

This is a known warning in the current Webmin release, which will be fixed in the next version. It has no effect on functioinality though.

Jamie, what is the pattern of releasing Webmin?

Some versions are in Virtualmin repo and some are in Webmin repo?

Hi,

As a general rule of thumb, Virtualmin is released to the Webmin site earlier, goes through some extra testing by Joe then is released on Virtualmin.com

@Eric: it looks like line 345 is part of the "Show forwarding setup for this user, using simple form if possible" block.

Line 364 is part of the "Show user-level mail filters, if he has any" block.

Now it's visaversa. Webmin has the latest as 1.670 but Virtualmin has 1.675, same as GitHub?

Hi,

"As a general rule" implies this is typically how it's been getting done. Since Jamie from what I understand primarily runs the "Webmin.com" website, he may have forgotten to publish the latest version on the website. Though there could be other reasons.

I generally aim to release a new Webmin version every month or so on www.webmin.com . Usually this gets pushed to virtualmin repos a week or so later.

Thanks, Jamie! Didn't know about that repo.

Are you planning to add code highlights and line numbers (when manually editing conf files) on the next release (1.680)?

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
