If you are waiting on a bug fix to make its way into an official release, it is generally better to just go ahead and grab the latest source code. Due to the nature of dynamic scripting languages, such as PHP, the process doesn’t get much easier. It is difficult to justify a release for a small change, but that small change could be what is preventing you from using Studs as your application framework. Therefore, it is useful to get to know this process.
Below are the steps required to replace your existing code with the latest that is stored in the source repository (known as *SVN HEAD*).
cd WEB-INF/
mv lib lib.bak
svn export https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/studs/trunk/src lib
That’s it! Now you are using the latest version. If you would like to see what has changed since the last release, you can either use SVN commands to mine the data, or you can just take a look at the Changelog file in the repository.
