After the rather successful snapshot release of XOOPS 2.2.3 RC2, we are almost ready for a public 2.2.3 RC2 (Still an RC) but want your final input before the launch.
Therefore we release a 2nd snapshot of RC2:
XOOPS 2.2.3 RC2 Snapshot2.tar.gzXOOPS 2.2.3 RC2 Snapshot2.zipTHIS IS STILL A TEST RELEASE MEANT FOR TESTING AND NOT FOR PRODUCTION SITESWhat it isA snapshot of the current CVS, based on 2.2.2 with many changes and fixes from 2.2.3 and some additional ones after feedback from the first snapshot release.
How it should be testedWe have worked very hard on the references used throughout the code and would appreciate it, if you could test it on as many platforms as possible, especially:
- PHP 4.3.11 or lower (at least 4.2.0, though)
- PHP 4.4
- PHP 5.0.x and
- PHP 5.1
Preferably also on IIS as well as Apache.
Install from scratch and update from 2.2.x or 2.0.x following the upgrade instructions as per the last releases (2.2.x upgrade = update System Module, 2.0.x upgrade = run xoopsupdate.php and update modules individually)
XOOPS 2.2.3RC2 Snapshot2 requires a FULL URL set as XOOPS_URL - if you use a relative URL, modify your mainfile.php to be absolute (with http:// etc.) before testing Also, have PHP debug and MySQL debug enabled throughout testing
THIS IS STILL A TEST RELEASE MEANT FOR TESTING AND NOT FOR PRODUCTION SITESWhat in particular should be tested- User creation admin (ext. profile module)
- User deletion admin (ext. profile module)
- Adding user fields (ext. profile module)
- Removing user fields (ext. profile module)
- Searching for users by values of added fields (ext. profile module)
- Send PM (PM module)
- Receive PM (PM module)
- Register user (ext. profile module)
- Send activation email (ext. profile module)
- Activate user from activation email (ext. profile module)
- Delete user account frontside (ext. profile module)
- Add/Edit blocks individually (System -> blocks -> add/edit)
- Edit block visibility and positioning in mass (System -> blocks)
- Add user to group in user edit (ext. profile module)
- Remove user from group in user edit (ext. profile module)
But mainly, we just want to make sure that any obvious mistakes are ruled out
When testing should be doneThe sooner, the better, but if there are no major problems, we will release a public XOOPS 2.2.3 RC2 on Sunday.
Modules that should work in this versionSome modules that didn't work with 2.2.2- should work with XOOPS 2.2.3RC2 Snapshot:
- WF and -based modules such as WF-XXX, SmartXXX, PD-XXX should no longer have problems due to hidden fields overwriting select elements (add/edit categories, mainly)
Modules that won't work with this versionModules that access users table directly, such as Newbb and CBB 1.x
GIJOE's blocksadmin plugin for 2.0.x does not work with 2.2.x so please focus on the rest of the moduleModules that directly use core files that have moved or rely on core behaviour that has changed, such as piCal
How reporting should goPlease use the
SF.net bug trackers for your bug reports. Use the "core/core" or "core/install-upgrade" category and the "Xoops 2.2.x" group.
What else?THANK YOU - everyone that participates in this testing.
