[cgiapp] [ANNOUNCE] Smolder 1.2

[Michael Peters <suppressed>]

Smolder 1.2 has now been released. Along with lots of minor bug fixes and UI
improvements the main point of this release is that now we are completely using
TAP::Parser and family to generate test reports from test runs. Simply use the
new --archive option to TAP::Parser's runtests to create the archive file that
can be uploaded to Smolder.

Download the latest version from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smolder

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a prior version you will have to change the way
you generate the report file from your test suite, although it's now extremely
easy to just use TAP::Parser's runtests.

Full changelog since last announced release:
1.2

 * Removed smolder_prove. You can now get the new TAP archive format by using
   TAP::Parser's "runtests --archive".
 * Change the UI for assigning developers to projects to allow for larger lists
   of groups and developers
 * Upgraded 3rd party JavaScript libraries (prototype, scriptaculous) and remove
   unnecssary JS and CSS files
 * Fixed bug where emails weren't being sent out
 * SMTPHost config directive is now optional and Smolder will use the local
   sendmail program if it's not provided
 * Now using TAP::Harness::Archive as the suggested method of creating the TAP
   archive. Also use it for manipulating them

1.1

 * Now using straight TAP (bundled in an archive file) instead of the custom
   XML/YAML thing we were using before
 * Added Atom feeds that can be enabled per project
 * Updated various component source modules and projects
 * Removed swish-e and mod_auth_tkt since they weren't essential to the
   functioning of smolder, but added a lot of size
 * Allow smolder.conf to be located in various places, not just
   $SMOLDER_ROOT/conf/smolder. We now look first at $SMOLDER_CONF,
   then in $SMOLDER_ROOT/conf, /usr/local/smolder/conf and then /etc/smolder
 * Added "Show All Details" link to test reports. Will suck browser resources if
   used on large test reports, but should be find on smaller ones
 * Fixed upgrades to now use appropriate sql file depending on the running
   DBPlatform
 * Updated various images
 * Added bin/smolder_update_smoke_html so that you can regenerate the HTML of
   the smoke reports after a template change
