Using 1.3.6RC1 for new sites?

GeeklogI've installed 1.3.5 for a number of clients but have 3 new sites to install soon.

I'm wondering if anyone here would go out on a limb and install 1.3.6RC1 for any new sites they're doing? Is it better than 1.3.5? By better I mean as stable or more so than 1.3.5, as many or fewer issues than 1.3.5? I've installed 1.3.6 locally on my Mac OS X box, but that hardly constitutes much of a test.

Anyone running a 1.3.6 system on the net with any appreciable traffic?

Any info on when 1.3.6RC2 (or 1.3.6 for that matter) will be blessed?

thanks to the GL dev team,

Landon Cox

Using 1.3.6RC1 for new sites?

Short answer: You shouldn\'t use 1.3.6rc1 for \"live\" sites, unless you know exactly what you\'re doing.

There will be no official upgrade path from 1.3.6rc1 to the final 1.3.6. The changes shouldn\'t be too complicated to do by hand, though (three new entries in the database so far). But we would in general advise against using any release candidates on live sites (the same was true for 1.3.5rc1 back in April).

1.3.6 has a lot of improvements and fixes over 1.3.5 and I surely hope it is better in every respect than 1.3.5.

As for the release date: We plan to have the final 1.3.6 out some time next week ...

bye, Dirk

Dirk Can you please explain what you mean when you wrote:
\"There will be no official upgrade path from 1.3.6rc1 to the final 1.3.6. The changes shouldn\'t be too complicated to do by hand\".

I am currently working on 1.3.6rc1. I was hoping that if all goes well with the testing, I could use the work that I have done for 1.3.6. What are the likely changes I would need to do by hand?

Thanks

What I meant is that the install script will not update any 1.3.6rc1 databases to the database for the final 1.3.6 - you will need to do that by hand. Currently, it looks like the only difference will be three new entries in the 'features' table, so it shouldn't be too hard.

You will also need to replace all the Geeklog core files, so if you modified any of those, you will have to do those changes again (themes should not be affected, although there were two minor changes to the themes since 1.3.6rc1 - see the ChangeLog for details).

bye, Dirk
