4.6 branch
Apologies for the very basic question. I am getting some free time and I would like to give the 4.6 branch a spin. Would this be the one found here?

Updated one of my sites on a dev environment and except from having to update adi_notes to the latest version all is currently running smoothly! Wonderful job guys!

Re: 4.6 branch
There is one minor comment. As I am currently using the Remora admin theme, after updating the site, I got a white screen informing me that txp would use the default theme. This screen had no links to it. The way I went about it was to log out and then log in again.
Was that intended?

I have yet to experience that one issue…. Reloading the page should then load the default Hive styles, no ?

I’ll have to re-upload the old database so as to check:) In any case, a refresh might not be a good solution ether.

Oh, I certainly won’t disagree there :-)
I thought the workflow was supposed to be:
- You upload your txp4.6 files to your server
- you log in, the scripts run to update the DB
- the admin theme used is Hive (admin themes moved to a new folder), independently from the admin theme you might have been using previously
- you are directed to the languages tab to update the language files
Is that not what happened ?
Or, are the old stylesheet and js files still doing something? Some aggressive caching? That would surprise me as Textpattern does’t look for those anymore.

Although I am yet to do another test, I have these in my htaccess file which might have tampered with the smooth transition

Re: 4.6 branch
Hi Yiannis,
I don’t know if it’s related, but textpattern.js has changes quite a bit in 4.6.

There isn’t really much need to specifically cache Textpattern control panel resources, beyond the browser’s default rules. They are not public facing nor particularly large.

I suspect Ianis doesn’t put those rules in a /textpattern/ specific .htaccess file, but rather at the top level of the site, or in the Apache config files.
But as I said, at the presentation layer, this doesn’t really matter, as TXP 4.6 fetches the theme resources from a different folder. textpattern.js though, that one is fetched from the same location as TXP 4.5. If the browser still fetches the old file from cache, I imagine that could mean some level of trouble. Displaying a blank page is a bit much though.
Perhaps some kind of versioning for that file is still needed.

Re: 4.6 branch
We did look at versioning the CSS and JavaScript but no satisfactory solution presented itself (see discussion here).
