[TYPO3-english] dmmjobcontrol is back from the dead

[Kevin Renskers]

Hi,

Many years ago I've created the dmmjobcontrol extension while working for DMM Development, in April 2007 to be precise. I've maintained the extension until June 2009, after which I left the company and colleagues took over. This resulted in 2 updates in 2010, after which the company was sold and the extension effectively abandoned.

Over the years I've received some bugresports for and questions about dmmjobcontrol, but I always replied that it's not my own personal extension, so I am not maintaining it. I am happy to report that I have changed my mind, seeing as DMM is no longer maintaining this extension, which still fulfills a need for many developers. Today version 2.5.0 was released, fixing a big bug with search and fixing compatibility with TYPO3 4.6 and 4.7.

I am convinced that there are more bugs and problems (I've heard about email problems) and I would like to invite everyone to file issues at the extension's new home at https://github.com/kevinrenskers/dmmjobcontrol. Feel free to fork the code, fix stuff and send a pull request as well. 

As I don't work in the web development field anymore and never used PHP or TYPO3 since 2009, this is simply a hobby project for me, to keep it alive and working without bugs. I won't be actively developing new features though, so please get the source code and bring on the pull requests! :)

Cheers,
Kevin Renskers
