Vanilla 2.0.6 released

TimTim Vanilla Staff
edited September 2010 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Vanilla 2.0.6 has been released and uploaded.

This is primarily a bugfix release that takes care of some issues reported with v2.0.3.

Changes

  1. Fixed AJAX issues that broke functionality when RewriteUrls was disabled
  2. Fixed issue where posting would lag due to slow email server response
  3. Updated Authenticator support framework
  4. Cleaned up CSS throughout various areas in the core
  5. Official release of new Dashboard theme
* Note - this is a re-release of v2.0.4 with a correction to the version number in index.php which was erroneously marked as '2.0.4a'. The version jump is normal.

Troubleshooting the Vanilla 2 Installation

If you run into any issues during the installation, you may see the "Bonk" error screen. In order to get past this screen, you can remove the following line from your conf/config.php file:
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'error.master.php';

This will show you a more detailed screen of information about the actual problem you've encountered. Please include this information when reporting issues (copy & paste exact errors, please).

    Copied over 2.0.3 and updated; all's fine so far. Thanks for all the hard work guys. @Lincoln; WTH?! :)
  • binhdobinhdo
    The version is defined at the beginning of 'index.php' in the root directory. It still reads '2.0.4a'.
  • TimTim Vanilla Staff
    @binhdo This has been fixed. I uploaded a new version just now. Sorry about that. So many little things to check and synchronize >.<

    I'm bad at tagging with GitHub because it is stupid, and I screwed up :( It doesn't let you re-use old tags and point them at new commits, so I had to skip. Same thing happened with 2.0.2 :p

    I'm not sure of this is an 'issue' or I'm just not understanding something, but after upgrading from 2.0.3 as described above, my copied config.php still shows the versions of Conversations, Vanilla, and Garden as 2.0.3. Do I need to manually change these to 2.0.6? Are these values important?
  • binhdobinhdo
    Now we are getting somewhere...
  • TimTim Vanilla Staff
    @daBrado that value is something we've added and plan to use in the future. The real (current) version number is stored in index.php and we update that for you.

    2.0.6? Nooooooo!! I just spent ages updating stuff and this happens. Sad face. :( I have another thought, but will make a new post.

    @Tim; Bottom-right corner of the Dashboard screen still says 2.0.4a after updating to 2.0.6 (Ah, just spotted the above reply to daBrado).

    @Tim Remove the tag:
    git push origin :tagname
    Then recreate it at the new commit.

    "Wow, up to 2.0.36 in only 6 months?"
    "Yeah, and we only had 12 releases so far!"
    ;)

    //edit: Could just claim it's some esoteric system you've developed. "We only increment in multiples of 3 in accordance with the Gunter Method™."
  • TimTim Vanilla Staff
    Hahaha. I know about the tag removal method, however git has some kind of protection where if a client has already 'seen' a tag, it will remember the commit that was associated with that tag, even if the tag is removed and re-applied to a new commit. That's what happens to GitHub's download list. I removed and re-added the tag but it remembered the old commit.

    Then I was like 'fuck it, new version', and tagged 2.0.5. But I hadn't incremented the version number yet again, from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5, so I had a tagged release for 2.0.5 whose internal version was 2.0.4. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    So i fixed the internal number at 2.0.6 and re-tagged AGAIN.

    Thanks for the info!

    after upgrading I cannot post at all. The progress indicators just sit there forever and spin. I can hit refresh and sometimes the post goes through but it doesn't bump the thread.
