Re: [Tiki-devel] Shiny Tiki 8 beta released

[Jonny B. <jo...@ti...>]

Hi Chealer, thanks - nice mail! :)

And many thanks to Changi too, and everyone else who was helping out on IRC.

Coo, a 7z package, i'll try that one (as it's the smallest ;)

Unpacked ok
Nice, didn't need to run setup.sh
Did a DB upgrade (of my previous InnoDB test) - 1 error (probably as it was InnoDB):

> alter table `tiki_calendar_items` drop key `fk_calitems_recurrence`

> 	Can't DROP 'fk_calitems_recurrence'; check that column/key exists


Entered (without locking installer)

Ok, that's odd - i logged in and went to admin, ok, then admin/profiles and it said i was logged out.

Logged back in and applied Small_Organization_Web_Presence_7x - worked fine.

Will try and recreate the logged out thing another time - again, well done all and thanks!

Then dev, and finally doc will be upgraded, over just 5 days. The sites will need testing, and some regressions will certainly need to be fixed. If you want to help, please join us on IRC #tikiwiki. This time, the infrastructure team provided upgraded test sites before doing the real upgrades, so we should have less surprises for the main sites.
