Hello Developpers,

i just have one question :

is it a feature of 1.8, or a bug, that there is no more stars (like in Moodle < 1.8) to mask the characters of smtppass, in Administration > Server > Mail ?

Thanks in advance for the answer (and explanation if it's a feature).

I consider it a bug - perhaps related to the new forms but it should be easily fixable.

Séverin - From what I can tell the stars disappeared in 1.7. I think as the admin interface was redesigned it was just an oversight. Regardless of the reason, checkout MDL-9588 where you can get an idea of what changes were made should you want to make them in 1.8. Otherwise, it will be fixed in 1.9 as it has been checked in to CVS. Peace - Anthony
