The Hint Tracker is a local (not remote) Hint Server for configurations that do not use any remote systems. Notes:

The redesign of Hints involved deprecating the Hint Keys-only mode. Now Hint Keys are required along with a Hint Tracker/Server to enable Hints. The Tracker/Server acts as the datastore for Hints and their statuses. The changes caused a ripple effect involving a lot of the code. The redesign and implementation is "done" and requires further testing. So the Hints Issue #117 has been completed. Have returned to the full regression tests #122. |
