• Removed ellipsis from westr::cut() when $ellipsis was set to false but the string was empty. If it's empty, nothing was cut, so the ellipsis stands for nothing. (Class-String.php)
• Fixed a link to Wedge, just in case. It's not in use for now. (Themes.php)
• PS: And yes, I'm alive and well, and still ready to commit to Wedge at any point. It just so happens that I have no other bugs to fix, and I have no incentives to keep working on implementing new features.

OK.

With a fresh install I have no issue.

I'll try a more proper migration :whistle:

Nevermind, I repaired my old server :-)

• Just a quick debug option in MySQL processing to view complex queries instead of executing them. (Class-DB.php)
• I'm back! Well, I was never gone... Just didn't bother backporting all of my changes.

• Very minor session changes that have always worked fine on Lestrade's, so I'm guessing they're good enough for production. (Load.php)

• Added support for APCU in APC cache system detection. Not sure if I need to change something else... I don't remember. I don't really use those on my server. (ManageServer.php)

• This is more of a test than anything else... (?) Using ENT_NOQUOTES here and there when generating e-mails, instead of ENT_QUOTES or the default setting. Again, this has been in use for a long time on Lestrade's with no issues. I don't remember why I made that change but I'm sure it was for the best. (Subs-Post.php)

• Reordering some HTML parameters for easier HTML buffer post-processing. Maybe one day I'll move over all of my Lestrades.com code to Wedge so you can see what I meant. (ManageModeration.template.php, ManagePlugins.template.php)

I just realized it'll soon be 6 months since my last commit to the Wedge codebase...
Weird.

Does this mean it's... Complete?
Or that I simply wasn't in the mood?
(A lot of things changed in my life right after that last commit, actually.)

Yes I am. ;)

Yeah it's going well, thanks. Fell in love in the meantime, having lots of sweet moments. And my kid is doing great. Breakups are hard though when a child is involved. But I'm confident it'll all work out.

It's not *much* faster in the case of Wedge. It is definitely faster, but not noticeably so, I'd say. I compared both PHP versions with it.
I absolutely recommend that everyone upgrades to PHP 7.x, of course.
But Wedge is based off SMF, which itself, at the time of forking, was compatible with PHP 4... So I started by making it PHP 5-only, then PHP 5.3, then PHP 5.4... I'm basing my assumptions off https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/all/all, and as you can see by going 5.4+ I cut myself off from potentially ~25% of all PHP users. It was already a bold move....
Going 7.x+ only will cut me off from 95% of all PHP users. That's not something I can do, obviously. I still have some hope that Wedge will eventually make itself known as one of the better free platforms.

Wedge was the first bigger codebase I worked with and later contributed to. In that
time (and it still goes on) I learned a lot. Not only the benefits of open source and how
much fun it can be to work on project, but also It's the first time that code i wrote and ideas
I have, really get used in projects which aren't my own :lol:.
Thanks for making this possible.
 I hope we can obtain this friendly working condition in the future.
I wish you best luck and success with your LT project  :cool:

I just realized this was my last post on the blog... :^^;:
Oh, and that comment system looks so cool.

I'm guessing I need to make a strong statement about Wedge still being alive.
Thanks to CerealGuy for never giving up and pestering me into coming back :)
Also thanks to Lestrades.com for giving me a good reason to get back to work!
