What is the status of these modules with regard to drupal 4.6?

I do not see them listed in the 4.6 module download section.

My site makes use of these two modules so I can't upgrade until these modules are available.

The 4.5.2 private message module seems to be working under 4.6.0. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but so far, it seems to be fine.

Found a problem in private message under 4.6.0

Change line 45 to look like this:

function privatemsg_user($type, $edit, &$user, $category = FALSE) {

The = FALSE after $category is what you need.

Great I will try it on the test server I will set up in the comming days.

I was starting to worry that it may not be wise of have my production sites too dependant on outside modules. It sort of leaves you at the mercy of the modules development schedule (or possible abandonment) when it comes to upgrading the core drupal stuff. Once you rely on a feature it is hard to take it back from the users.

But for the most part I think the 3rd party module developers are making the transition quite nicely in a timely manner. Helps to put my fears to rest.

For now, please use the CVS version of the privatemsg module with 4.6. It should work fine, as far as I know. Trying to use the 4.5 version will most likely result in breakage in a number of places.

I'll be working on some updates for the privatemsg module this afternoon and will be releasing a 4.6 version. I apologize for the delay; I found myself quite busy with real-world activities during the 4.6 release process so I have had no time for official testing as of yet.

node_privacy_byrole has been ported with some some additional configurability features, but I'm still testing it to see if there are any bugs or any need for an upgrade path. If you're interested in helping test the module out on a non-production server, please do. You can pull the latest version from the CVS: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/node_privacy_...

If you notice something grossly peculiar about its behavior, please file an issue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/11598

The faster I can confirm and fix issues, the sooner I will feel comfortable enough to tag the module and deem it 4.6-ready.

Now that I know work is in process to move this module to 4.6, i will set up a test server with my current data.

Thanks for the effort.

node_privacy_byrole is ready, and better than ever!!!

For details, please consult http://drupal.org/node/21135

You will need to run an upgrade script... speaking of which, anyone else think that the upgrade.php script in Drupal core would be extra cool if it provided a hook or some system of looking for conventionally titled upgrade script files for modules and run them in a single browse to update.php? Just an idea to throw out there...
