forum_access 7.x-1.0-alpha3

This is ALPHA3 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests — ALPHA3 passes all 10312 tests. Also, it has support for upgrading fr om D6, but this is completely untested. Still missing is support for unpublished nodes and comments.

We do not recommend installing ALPHA3 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 ALPHA2:
Bugs fixed:
- Major update to fix various bugs and adapt to late changes in the Form API of D7 core.
- Remove remaining references to {acl.name}.
- Clean up / enable tests.
- Port update 6106 to secure upgrade path from D6.
- #1016088: Avoid calling reset() on non-variables.
- #993056: Remove call-time pass-by-reference typos.
- #999556: Adapt to changed signature of hook_menu_view().
- #996130: Fix undefined index 'buttons' notice.
- Fix tests to install the newly required chain_menu_access.module.
- The D6 moderator role is removed during upgrading, no need to remove it in hook_uninstall(), too.

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.
