[darcs-users] bugs.darcs.net: now with less email!

Hi everybody,

Here are some recent updates to our issue tracking infrastructure.

Vacation Mode suspends email delivery
-------------------------------------
Vacation Mode is now working.  On your roundup user page, you can
toggle a 'vacation mode' setting which would cause roundup to stop
email delivery on messages you are on the nosy list for.

In case you're wondering why anybody would want to be nosy on a ticket
without actually receiving emails: one reason is that it lets you mark
the tickets as being interesting to you.  You can use the search feature
to list all tickets you're nosy for.  Also, you could use this feature
as literally a vacation mode one, suspending email delivery on tickets
until you're ready for it.

Apologies to anybody who has tried the setting in the past and was
disappointed to still receive mail from roundup.  I had implemented
the UI part way before I managed to get the backend working; I never
actually got around to backing out the UI change in the interim,
which I should clearly have done :-(

Responding to tickets no longer makes you nosy
----------------------------------------------
We've restored a default setting for roundup, so that writing a message
on roundup only makes you nosy if the message creates a new ticket.

This means that you will no longer automatically receive updates on
tickets you respond to.  If you want to receive updates, you'll have
to add yourself manually to the nosy list.

Mail server configuration
-------------------------
Messages are now being sent OSUOSL servers instead of OregonState ones.
This should have no user-visible effects.  If you've been seeing mystery
oregonstate.edu addresses in bug tracker traffic, now you know why :-).
