Title: ElkArte 1.1 Release Candidate 2 - Release announcement
Post by: emanuele on August 27, 2017, 03:31:21 pm
The ElkArte Community is pleased to announce the second ElkArte 1.1 Release Candidate (https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/releases/tag/v1.1.0-RC.2) is now available. The release candidate is usually the last development step before release a stable version, made available to allow a final round of testing on what will be the first major version of ElkArte, though it's still considered a development version and as such is not recommended for production use.

In order to help us release ElkArte, anyone using the new version, is encouraged to report bugs, issues or errors at our GitHub Issue Tracker (https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%221.1+Final%22).

If you don't want to register at github to report bugs through the formal bug reporting system, you can create a new topic at ElkArte.net (http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?board=2.0) and let us know about the problem you encountered or the improvement you would like to see in ElkArte.

We look forward to receiving your feedback on this release candidate of ElkArte!

I think you missed the powered by version in the footer but that just a minor one.

Safe journey @Spuds.

Nope, it's just that I still have up upgrade the site. :P

BTW: I forgot to say that the most important thing to test now is the upgrade. O:-)

I am testing the upgrade from 1.0.10 to 1.1RC2 but installation seems stuck at database upgrade level. Also, upgrade page background is just plain white (for header and footer as well)?

My bad. I forgot to fix the path before proceedings. It seems working now.

Honestly I don't know... I'm not familiar with how it works.
At the moment, anyway, it's not yet "stable", so I don't think softaculous has it in their list of install.

Is there some kind of changelog, with a short description of what’s new in version 1.1 compared to 1.0?

Hi igor and welcome. :)

I thought there was, but I was wrong... :-\

Off the top of my head in a more or less random manner:
... okay, it's so long I'm using 1.1 that I don't remember any more. xD
The "front-facing" that I remember are: inline attachments, desktop notifications, more granular control over notifications methods, use of SVG instead of FA. A more recent version of the editor. Likely other things, but I don't remember... :-\
On the backend... quite a bit of stuff changed, but I guess it's not really that interesting.

Thank you for the quick answer!

I guess for you it’s the other way round. ;-)

Incidentally, the other day I came across https://skywinder.github.io/github-changelog-generator/ In lieu of a smaller changelog, maybe the big one (https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/compare/v1.0.10...v1.1.0-RC.2)? :P

Interesting.
By a quick look it requires just proper labelling of issues and pull requests, it could very well be an interesting tool. nods
What I did in the past (now it's already a couple of releases I forget) was to create:
http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=3437.0
via git command. It's not difficult, the only annoying part is I had to go back and find the theme and enhancement commits.
