En/Release Notes/0.9.0beta2

Released: 30 November 2007

This is a beta release of Mahara 0.9 Accio. Things will be broken! However, we are now soliciting bug reports, should you find a bug. You can report bugs to the tracker:

https://eduforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=176&atid=739

Please choose 'HEAD/trunk' as the version of your bug.

In this release, upgrading from the 0.8 stable version is possible. This does not mean that this should be done on a live website! Furthermore, upgrading from this release to any future release will not be supported either, so please perform any testing you might want to make on either a new install of this release or a copy of your 0.8 site.

This release includes:

• Various bug fixes and improvements
• NO Bunglebrots. Sorry!

The view migration will convert any views stored in the system to the new views format, except for:

• Views using the 'test' template - these views will be removed
• Views using a custom template - these views will be removed

If you have any custom views, or wish to migrate test views, you could write a patch for the view migration code in htdocs/lib/db/templatemigration.php

As mentioned above, the upgrade should not be attempted on a live site yet. Instead, make a copy of your database and dataroot, set up a new Mahara using them, and test upgrading on that.

Also as mentioned above, upgrading from this release will not be supported.
