Yes, AAA is locked. At least for now. This afternoon I decided to do some updates, fixed all the bugs I could remember, then set about plowing through the forums.
It was a pain. So, to make the developers' lives easier, we now have an issue tracking system! Huzzah!
So, next time you have a bug report or need help, give it a try: open up the issue tracker and click "Create a new issue". In theory this should make searching for open bugs much, much easier, and turn problems from "yet another discussion thread" to "something that actually gets looked at".
Ask An Admin locked?! What?

Re: Ask An Admin locked?! What?
That's awsome FB! Can you put in a thread saying what you've fixed, and maybe also what you've added/give hints to what you've added if it's spoilerish?

Re: Ask An Admin locked?! What?
Well, the "status" field, to you guys you have the options "active" (for new and ongoing problems), "needs work" (for fixes that didn't actually work or had odd side-effects) and "duplicate" (for problems that were already reported). Oh, and the author can also set it to "closed".
For DMs and devs, the options are a bit more varied, including "postponed" (for whatever reason), "ready to commit" (for fixes that have been coded but haven't gone live), "won't fix", "fix not possible", "by design" (all should be obvious) and of course "fixed".
The final status, "needs review", is one that I imagine would be useful if Mith's Minions happens again. A minion would attach a patch file for Mith or I to review, set it to "needs review", then if approved "ready to commit" or if someone spots a problem "needs work".
So, getting to your question, to see what's been fixed, simply set the filters to only show the "fixed" issues in the "bug report" category.
If this is a success, it might be a good idea to use this for suggestions as well as bugs (hence the "feature request" category).
Of course, exploits should still only be reported through PMs. I'd imagine an announcement forum will appear at some point including updates and things.
