View source for Reporting a Bug/Requesting a Feature

A '''Bug Report''' is submitted when KoLmafia is doing the wrong thing because of a coding error, design flaw or some other oversight on the part of a developer.

A '''Feature Request''' is submitted when KoLmafia is functioning as designed but a user would like it to so something different.

'''New Content''' is reported when something is added to or changed in KoL itself and KoLmafia could/should be changed to support that.

A Bug Report, Feature Request or New Content notification can be made by starting a new thread at http://kolmafia.us/forumdisplay.php?24-Bug-Reports

There are several prefixes appended to threads in that section.  Non-Moderators should only use Bug, Feature or New Content.  The Moderators will change the prefix to indicate status.

*Bug - Confirmed indicates that someone other than the original reporter has been able to reproduce the bug.

*Bug - Not a Bug indicates that the behavior described as a Bug is actually what KoLmafia is supposed to be doing.

*Bug - Won't Fix indicates that bug exists but no changes will be made to fix it.

*Bug - Fixed indicates that code to fix the bug has been written and checked in to SourceForge, thus making it part of the next build.

*Bug - Cannot Reproduce indicates that no one besides the original reporter knows how to make the bug happen.

*Bug - Waiting for Info indicates that a developer has asked questions about the report and is waiting for the reporter to answer.

For both Feature and New Content

*Implemented means that KoLmafia has been changed in response.

*Rejected means that no code has been changed and none is likely to do so.

*Features are often rejected if it is something that can easily be done or has already been done, in a script.

The prefixes and the implied workflow are sometimes to developer's looking for tasks and developers planning releases.
