Thanks, team – great work.

Great, thanks. 1 site updated, a few more to go… (less than in the past, sadly, biz ↓)

PS – me thinks the time stamp on the textpatten.com server is somewhat wrong, or the blog has a wrong timestamp. My feedreader just fetched the announcement blog post, timestamp as yesterday 20:07 (Japan time based).

Hmm, but the XML the more correct:

<pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2014 08:46:27 GMT</pubDate>

Weird.

Edit – scrolling further down in the XML, I see a second <pubDate>, at the end of the post (which matches what my Feed reader thinks) – having both is confusing my feedreader (Vienna 3br5, OS X 10.9.5)

<pubDate>Sat, 20 Sep 2014 11:07:13 GMT</pubDate>

Snagging: .zip file doesn’t contain /sites directory, but .tar.gz file does.

Shall I raise an issue?

Edit: confirmed it’s just /sites that is missing:

$ diff -rq ./4.5.7-zip/ ./4.5.7-gz/
Only in ./4.5.7-gz/: sites

This is deliberate. We have come to the conclusion that symlinks like the ones contained in the /sites directory don’t travel well with .zip files and the various extractors/platforms.

Good to know – thank you for the clarification.

Thanks to all who have worked on this update. I will test it in the next few days.

And many thanks to Bloke for the post in the Weblog.

Pate Technologies has been upgraded. (Now I just need to finish the theme)

Michael K. Pate has been upgraded. Now I just need to update the design.

Many thanks for the effort, no feedback yet (only installed it locally), so far, so good.

Thanks so much for releasing this what seems to be a seamless update. ~~One~~ Most of my sites is are now running it without any errors. ~~I’ll be updating the rest of them soon~~

Many Thanks to the Dev Team!

I try it now.

gaekwad · 2014-09-21 14:47:27

Textpattern demo site updated – now happily running 4.5.7; updated without a hitch.

michaelkpate · 2014-09-21 14:58:42

Okay – new install: http://likelikebaby.com/

Pre-flight check

Image directory is not writable: /var/www/images
File directory path is not writable: /var/www/files ?

The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: pcntl_alarm, pcntl_fork, pcntl_waitpid, pcntl_wait, pcntl_wifexited, pcntl_wifstopped, pcntl_wifsignaled, pcntl_wexitstatus, pcntl_wtermsig, pcntl_wstopsig, pcntl_signal, pcntl_signal_dispatch, pcntl_get_last_error, pcntl_strerror, pcntl_sigprocmask, pcntl_sigwaitinfo, pcntl_sigtimedwait, pcntl_exec, pcntl_getpriority, pcntl_setpriority,

In my case, I fixed the folders permissions through chown (this is a Digital Ocean Droplet).

My question is – do we need to keep the PHP functions message when my understanding is these only apply to using PHP from the command line?

Doing a new install via svn checkout:

svn checkout http://textpattern.googlecode.com/svn/releases/4.5.7/source

…there are a few presentational discrepancies in the default content that, I think, have already been resolved in previously closed issues. For example, the timestamp of Donald’s comment is thousands of days old. This was raised as issue 305 and fixed in r4575. I raised issue 427 with a patch to bring it into line, then I spotted that Txp Resources is still in the sidebar, which was raised originally as issue 307 and fixed in r4540. There may be more stuff, I haven’t checked yet, and I don’t want to pollute the issue tracker with patches if I’m missing something obvious.

Both of these presentational fixes were made to the 4.x branch, but don’t appear to have made it to the 4.5 branch. Considering the major.minor.patch release approach, these both appear to be in the patch section. Is this an oversight or are they really going to be in the release until the next minor release?

If I’m misunderstanding the development approach, then I would appreciate a correction.

Thank you in advance.
