Over the last week UOW have made a bunch of changes to the Dialogue module and committed them into CVS. The following were all inspired by requests made in this thread and on the Dialogue wiki page and the changes include code contributions and inspiration from Enrique and Petr.

• fixed bug re lost HTML formatting (see: CONTRIB-1448)
• added sorting of columns by name, date, post count etc (see: CONTRIB-1449)
• improved group-mode support (see: CONTRIB-1490)
• added participation report support (see: CONTRIB-1454)
• change to view current conversation after update rather than go back to list (see: CONTRIB-1455)
• lots of coding/style improvements, thanx Petr (see: CONTRIB-1216)

There are many more suggestions coming through and these will be dealt with as time permits. Please use the Tracker to make further suggestions, and to vote for or watch issues that interest you in particular.

If you intend checking out the latest version of the module from CVS be sure you use the MOODLE_19_STABLE branch and also perform testing of these new features before releasing the code to your production Moodle.
