forum_access 7.x-1.0-alpha4

This is ALPHA4 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests. We're still at the alpha stage and there are things that don't work right yet. ALPHA4 is a big step closer to the specs and it passes all its 10679 tests. The support for upgrading from D6 is still completely untested (maybe a job for you?) and support for unpublished nodes is still missing.

We do not recommend installing ALPHA4 on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #809404: Forum Access for D7 for details.

Forum Access requires the new ACL 7.x-1.0-beta2 (or later) and the Chain Menu Access API modules. If you're running ALPHA1 then be sure to install and enable Chain Menu Access API before updating!

Changes since ALPHA3:
Bugs fixed:
- Implement node and comment edit forms for moderators.
- Fix comment links.
- Disable 'edit own comments' permission and document this.
- Fix the tests to ignore 'edit own comments' but to account for 'edit/delete any/own forum content'.
- Reorder the tests to make the more difficult ones come first.
- In the test suite, rename the roles and users to more accurately reflect the names of the permissions they represent.
- #1020852: Fix "Undefined variable: node in forum_access_menu_get_item_alter() line 341".
- #1019572: Add '>=' operator to ACL dependency.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/config/development/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.
