Great news! Well done everyone!

The first thing I get is the “Please force re-load the page or clear your caches” but it persists even when I have done both, logged out, restarted the browser and re-logged in. I called up textpattern.js manually and refreshed that to make sure it uses the latest version but I still get that message. Anyone else?

Edit: this is on a site that’s been regularly updated to the current dev, so hasn’t gone from the previous public version to this one.

Weird. What’s your ‘version’ string in the txp_prefs table? It should still be at 4.7.3 or whatever version you upgraded from. If the textpattern.js (e0c03dbfd8ac910abe66340aa586b722) and textpattern/index.php (26fd6edba46f256a932bfc9aafeb08a4) files both report 4.8.0-beta I can’t see why it would do that.

strokes stubble in thought

EDIT: Do you get the same behaviour from a private browsing session?

Jakob:

Two websites upgraded (from a previous dev version) but no error found (clean browser console too).

That was a good pointer. I “git pulled” so am one beyond the beta release tag. It seems the alert is caused because textpattern.js shows 4.8.0-beta and index.js 4.8.0-dev. Resetting textpattern.js manually to 4.8.0-dev silences the error.

Or me updating the textpattern.js file to dev as well. Oops, sorry :)

Thanks! Just saw you do that. Sorry for polluting the thread with the distraction…

As you were :-)

That still isn’t fixing it for me.

Addendum: I downloaded the beta instead of using Git and the error went away as expected.

~~Q. Is it intentional for the Preview dialog on the Write pane to display both the body and the excerpt? All the recent dev builds only showed the content of one (1) textarea, body or excerpt.~~

~~(I guess this might be a side effect of fixing that save bug)~~

Edit: Scrap that, the result of a cached js file. Hmm, I did reload, I thought.

4.8 is a very nice release overall, lots of nice little things under the hood – thanks Oleg !!
