CPG1.3.0 public beta released

[Joachim Müller]

Hi all,

we finally released a public beta of cpg1.3.0 - get it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89658&package_id=98538&release_id=225470

Please understand that this is still beta software, which means that some features may not work as expected, there may still be bugs, and the documentation that comes with it may not be up-to-date. Although we'd like you to test-drive cpg1.3.0, please be aware that there won't be support for it right now untill the release of a final version. You are however encouraged to post reviews and possible bugs on the CPG 1.3 Testing/Bugs board, but please be sure to read the documentation first that comes with the package and can be found in the docs folder.
If you're going to translate cpg1.3.0 into your language, please read the translator's guide as well that comes with the package.

uhm, sorry people - seems like I have packaged up the wrong version of coppermine for the public beta release - so I've halted the distribution of the file for the moment. :oops:

I'm sorry for that, can't upload the proper version at the moment, will do so asap (that means: today).

[Joachim Müller]

ok, testing can continue - I've uploaded the most recent checkout from the devel branch of the cvs as a package - get it at the url mentioned above. Sorry again for the fuzz :oops: .

Would it be possible to have a changelog just a little bit more readable?

see the one from gaim, http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog, it should ask that much effort to reach that level  :wink:


Thanks for all your work guys!

Would it be possible to have a changelog just a little bit more readable?

Keep praying

Atleast now everyone is writing to the changelog

[etienne]

Ok, instead of praying, i tried to make something useful of that chilly, windy, rainy sunday afternoon from my hotel room in DC  :?

[Joachim Müller]

Hey etienne,

nice work, will use it - I owe you a beer :wink: .

GauGau

[etienne]

If you owe me a beer for a 'nice' 2 min job, how many beers does the dev team have in credit?

[Joachim Müller]

hehe, if the dev team guys should ever meet we would have to go to the "Oktoberfest" in Munich, because there's no other place in the world where they have enough beer :wink: ...
It's a pity we all live in distant places (see about page) .

[rXhalogene]

Wo finde ich ein anleitung zum updaten von 1.2.1 auf 1.3 beta ?

[Casper]

It's a pity we all live in distant places (see about page) .

Hey, how come I'm not listed there?

[Joachim Müller]

The translator section hasn't been updated for a while - I'll have to look over it and add you (and others as well), sorry...

[Einstein]

It's beta .. but how stable is it for the moment? Can I put it already in a live environment?

Have the most security fixes already been done? I mean how safe is the beta version?

[Joachim Müller]

take a look at the bugs/testing board and check the number of fixes vs. open issues :wink: . I won't recommend to use it or not, since there's no support for cpg1.3.0, but imo it's pretty stable and can be used in production environments.
