Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

I just upgraded a site on my dev server and found a problem with running this version with MLP. The site previously used Textpattern 4.3.0 without any problems.

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

If I’ve done something wrong, please let me know. I upgraded by logging out of Textpattern and copying the new distribution over the old via cp -r. After that, I renamed the .htaccess-dist file and logged in again.

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

Before upgrading, any particular instructions for multi-site installs?

Thanks for the report. I’ll try to propagate this to phpass’s author. You can track the outcome at this issue.

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

—nevermind— No matter how clever I try to be, something gets screwed. I ran

diff -q textpattern-4.4.0/textpattern public_html/textpattern |grep "differ$"|awk '{print "mv " $2 " " $4}'

And got reasonable results. It did recursively. But no, I had to cp -r to fix things.

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

Upgraded four sites including two that I hadn’t done much with in a while…

cmsstyles.com
Host: Joyent
Previous version: 4.3.0

patetech.info
Host: Dreamhost
Previous version: 4.3.0

michaelkpate.com
Host: Dreamhost
Previous version: 4.0.6

gocheckmail.com
Host: Dreamhost
Previous version: 4.0.4

I had to do correct some preference settings here and there but no real issues.

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

I renamed config.php to configold.php before uploading the whole textpattern directory, so as not to overwrite config.php. But I now find that configold.php has been deleted so I can’t rename it back to config.php !!!!

EDIT: I suppose it’s because I’ve used Coda for the first time to upload and it has different behaviour to Filezilla which I always used previously :-(

Re: Feedback for the Textpattern 4.4.0 release

Textpattern.org upgraded to TXP 4.4 (from 4.0.5).
Had to patch a truckload of plugins to get rid of various warnings, notices and errors.
Self-registering temporarily disabled.

Wow 58 plugins employed, that’s gotta be a record.

Wasn’t there work being done towards a new version of Textpattern.org?

It’s the danger I was banging on about before – copying a folder will overwrite the whole folder, copying folder contents only overwrites files of the same name.
