7.x-2.0 RELEASE

beta2

alpha3

Initial Alpha1 release.

Alpha 3 came out in July of 2010, nearly a year ago. There has been extensive changes since then. Advanced Forum doesn't store any data outside of settings so there is no issue with your forum content when upgrading. The styles, however, have changed significantly. If you have a custom style, your best bet is to re-apply your changes to a current style.

This alpha wraps up the really major changes. From here, releases will be faster with a goal of getting to 2.0 by Summer.

Important upgrade notes:

• Visit the settings page, confirm all is still set as you want it, and save the page. This will take care of any variable changes and avoid errors from bad settings data.
• The boxy style was replaced by Silver Bells. If you are using either version of boxy, be sure to change to a different style before upgrading. Failure to do this may result in errors as AF tries to use a style that no longer exists.
• The old icons with embedded text will not work with the new styles. See #1052488: Document how to use old images with embedded text
• If you are using Author Pane, be sure to use 2.1 for style compatibility.
• If you are upgrading from prior to Alpha 3, be aware of the Views dependency.

Changes since Alpha 3
#1044322: A new topic with no comments does not show new post icon by rcurtin, Michelle: Fixed topic listing icon not showing new posts on brand new topics.

Alpha 3 is working well for me on Coulee Region Online and in my dev testing, but it's still alpha so make sure you do extensive testing of your own before deploying on a live site and when upgrading.

This alpha is intended to work with Author Pane Beta 1 and may not work quite right with older versions because the theme function changed.

There are still some known bugs and many more features to be added. See #753320: Advanced Forum road map as well as the issue queue for details.

Changes since Alpha 2:
#821744 by Michelle: Updated Author Pane integration to work with beta 1.
#830102 by merlinofchaos: Added setting for 'Inject hierarchy of first term into breadcrumb trail' to forum page.
#832286 by Scyther: Allow users to see a signature in an input format they don't have access to.
#787454 by berdir, mikey_p, merlinofchaos, and Michelle: Fixed error in SQL that caused new posts to be counted twice if revisions were on when the node was moved to another forum.
#801260 by dereine: advanced_forum_statistics_replies performance improved.
#807742 by Michelle: Started work on documenting the templates.
#793020 by Michelle: Fixed issue with no-style-name template file not being found.
#793664 by crea: Fixed Author Pane not showing on nodecomment reply preview.
#622670 by neclimdul: Fixed clipped folder icons when no posts in forum.

This is an initial release of the new version. It's fairly solid but I wouldn't put it on a production site, yet. If you are building a site that you expect won't be done for a couple months, you'll want to start with this version because the styles have changed significantly since 1.x. Testing is appreciated. I'm aiming for a full release in September, though that is subject to change.

Fixes SA-CONTRIB-2009-040 - Advanced Forum - Multiple vulnerabilities.

Official 1.0 release!

If you are upgrading from an older version and experience any weirdness, especially with things not showing up in the Author Pane, try clearing your cache.

Changes since RC3:

Warning: this snapshot now requires Author Pane 2.x and you will get an error if you try to use it with 1.x. I suggest upgrading to AP 2.x before upgrading AF to avoid problems.
