aterr / News: Recent posts

Hi all,

I have just released version 0.9.3 of aterr.

This version is primarily a bug fix release, but adds two minor features. Firstly, the ability to delete a forum has been added to the administration panel. You can only delete a forum which does not contain any posts or subforums. Secondly, the RSS and Atom feeds have been converted to use templates, so can be easily customised by editing atom-feed.tpl and rss-feed.tpl in the include/tpl/ directory.... read more

This release makes it possible to install into the base directory, as well as including new functionality including forum pagination and some bug fixes. Thanks to kodekrash for reporting this problem.... read more

Hi all,

Version 0.9.1 of aterr is ready and available for download!

I am making a minor release of aterr due to a reported incompatibility with MySQL 5. As I do not run MySQL 5 I did not pick up this error, however with some help I believe I have managed to eliminate any incompatibilities.

Aside from the MySQL 5 fixes, there are a few other minor bugfixes:
- Version checker in admin panel does not result in an error warning when a new version is released.
- Rather than displaying an error page, aterr will redirect to the installer script before installation has started.
- Bugfix for creating new config variables.
- More reliable permission check for .htaccess and config.inc.php when installing.
- Removal of permissions correction instructions. These were overly simplistic.... read more
