Serendipity 0.8-beta4 released!

[garvinhicking]

I can only repeat the last statement once again: Thanks to lots of usable feedback and positive criticism, we were once again able to improve several issues within Serendipity. Those changes are worth a new beta milestone (beta3 was a non-public interrim release):

- Fix variable name problem with all markup plugins. Those were formerly using language localized variable names and could create trouble in multilangual system setups.

- Fix to properly detect Internal Server Errors (500) during installation

- Fix wordfilter for spamblock plugin

- Fix wrong date on entries monthly archive view

- Do not emit HTTP headers in embedded installations after headers could have been sent in the embedded framework

- Introduce a new CSS styling class called "div.container_X" for all plugins, whereas "X" can be replaced with the plugin class name. This allows more individual styling of sidebar plugins.

- Fix certain bugs with the "Newspaper" template. If you have custom themes based on it, please synchronize your layout.php with the new one (or migrate to Smarty templating)

- Offer ability to hide email addresses from RSS feeds
- Bundled Tom Sommers 'Kubrick' template port

More (minor) Changes can be found in our docs/NEWS file of the release bundle.

Upgrading is easy as always: Download, unpack, go to your Admin panel, hit the upgrade button - You're done.

And please keep your feedback coming in!

I must be blind from reading blogs all the time I can't see any upgrade button in my admin panel (neither in English nor in German)!!

Any hint?
Thanks a lot!

you just extract it to what ever location it is currently in, then go to the homepage of your blog and it will walk you through it.

upgrade button at the bottom on the left.

Is this upgrade possible to do without uploading /templates/default/index.tpl and lang/serendipity/serendipity_lang_en.inc.php?

If so I'm going for it. I soooo want to style my sidebar plugs.

Martin - I think the index.tpl has not changed.

However the english language files did get new constants. If you modified your file, you'll need to create diff and implement the new constants. They are usually all kept at the end, so you could easily compare them?

No button, no upgrade. The databases has changed, and nothing runs longer. First is Unknown column 'a.realname' in 'field list. What i have to do?

[garvinhicking]

Bandajo - edit your serendipity_config_local.inc.php and set $serendipity['versionInstalled'] to the version you previously had installed (like '0.7.1' or '0.8-alpha10' or so. If you don'T remember exactly, use '0.8-alpha11'.

Or you run this SQL code via phpMyAdmin on your database

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE serendipity_authors ADD realname VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL FIRST;
UPDATE serendipity_authors SET realname = username;
