Re: MantisBT 1.2.0rc2 Release Candidate 2

Hi all!

Just yesterday I took the time to test this new RC.
Almost everything seems to be fully functional.
One thing I noticed was the error "A required parameter to this page
(id) was not found." when I attempt to change a bug status.
This was due to an error in "core/html_api.php" that was passing a
parameter "bug_id" instead of "id". I fixed it locally and checking
the Git repository this seems to be also solved there.

So I am now using RC2 in and production environment.
Thank you!

P.S.: thank you John Reese (and all other developers) for the effort
to develop the plugin system. I have installed and configured the
Mantis/WebSVN integration and less than 15 minutes. Really impressive!
Congratulations!
