Txp 1.0 RC3 Available

ArbinShire · 2005-04-29 19:24:34

I’m still a bit puzzled. Why is RC1 still on the homepage and everyone using RC3? Wouldn’t it be prudent to have the most recent (bug fixed) version on for people whom have never been to the forums?

I’m not really sure what’s the policy with different versions but as for now RC3 is on the homepage for download.

Is there a way to check which revision you’re currently using?

If you downloaded it with TortoiseSVN, then “Show Log” will tell you. Else, you’ll need to pay attention when you download it – those index.html files tell you the revision number.

Yeah it seems to be true ,it’s there available on the home page wrapped up as RC3 with 13 language files and two additional files:article and about.
Revision Nr at the Repository is 335 with aproximately 11 open tickets.
Where is the champaine?
Where are the fireworks confetti,

hmm, i thought the section files aren’t needed anymore in RC3 … ?

davidm · 2005-05-02 13:06:17

@marios : there has been around ten tickets for some time now, tickets are being closed but new ones are created, with all the additionnal features that we get :-)

I have been thinking that RC1 could have been 1.0 final and RC3 is more like a 1.1 version…

@console: I thought that too. I just downloaded the RC3 zip file and upon extraction, I see the placeholder files. Anyone out there know why that is? Is this distro of RC3 still reliant upon placeholder files. Just want to know before I blast my old install in lieu of this one (albeit after a proper backup…but it still eats time if I screw it up).

I think those placeholder files are there for insurance. There are alot of host out there that are finicky about the .htaccess rules, and I for one know that placeholders are still necessary on some hosts if you want clean urls. On a 1and1 site I still had to break out some rewrite rules to get clean urls and I had to keep on with the placeholder files to get there. A real pain in the kiester. So I think they are there just for good measure.

If you, like me, are one of those unfortunate souls, that need placeholder files, or similar, this classic still does some great work:

The necessary incantations to make rewrite rules work on 1and1 are well known. They’re described here, amongst other places.

I couldnt use RC1 with one host, and when I quizzed them about got the usual runaround b*******, so basically it was no go.
Fortunately, I hadnt yet paid anything because I’d chosen a cheque-by-post method, not online credit card, and I extricated myself from the contract and nothing was lost.

Mean time, I’d tried RC3 and found it worked. I think it was the .htaccess in RC1 that was the problem.

So basically, I’m happy now but you need to know this kind of stuff- what you might encounter – hopefully before you sing up for anything.
