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?
That line is common with all the DO droplets I’ve installed to where PHP5 has been installed with apt-get from the default repositories, and those modules are irrelevant to Textpattern. There are occasions, however, that non-pcntl_* modules are listed that do affect Textpattern, and that’s where the diagnostics are useful.

Both of these presentational fixes were made to the
4.xbranch, but don’t appear to have made it to the4.5branch.
You’re right that they’re only presentational and should be included in the 4.5.x branch. Probably just an oversight as I don’t think it was a regression in the recent setup changes… at least I hope not :-o We probably intended to push them to 4.5.x, but maybe ‘cos they weren’t backported immediately at the time they got swept out of sight under other commits.
Sorry they didn’t filter back this far. I’ll tend to those for ya. If you spot any other such already-fixes that would benefit being in 4.5.x, please let us know.

Good work guys. I was starting to worry TXP had been abandoned. Propeller are sharing ten years in the biz with Textpattern!

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.5.7 released
Until now I have updated three sites from Textpattern 4.5.5 to 4.5.7. There were no problems except these:
In two of the three sites I can’t access to Preferences > Language. The diagnostics report a problem with the access to the RPC-Server.
Between the three installations are now differences, only small differences between the servers, all by the same hosting company.
The “good” site: PHP-Version: 5.2.17, MySQL: 5.5.28-
First “bad” site: PHP-Version: 5.3.28, MySQL: 5.5.28
Second “bad” site: PHP-Version: 5.5.10, MySQL: 5.5.28

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.5.7 released
Happy Birthday TXP … & thank-you to the Devs for the new release.
Looking good on a brand new site install.
However, on a site upgrade from 4.5.4 the Pre-flight Check says:
There is a problem trying to connect to the RPC server. Please, try again later.
But if I click the help button, I get a response:
Diagnostics: Textpattern CMS version update
There is a newer version of Textpattern CMS available …
So the RPC server is alive but the help message is wrong … confused!
Edit: just realised it’s a dual-purpose message.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.5.7 released
I had the RPC server issue a few times last week. Seems there’s some funky, sporadic DNS or hosting issue going on.
The basic symptoms are that after install (or indeed when visiting the language panel), instead of being taken to the language list, it sits and thinks for about 10-15 seconds then drops you to the languages sub-panel but offers to install from file instead of from the server (because it can’t connect to it). Usually if you visit the panel a short while later, everything’s fine. This is not specific to 4.5.7, but will affect all installations. Grrr, Internet gremlins. Maybe one of the other people with their fingers on the pulse of the network can shed some light here.

The RPC server probably needed telling that the latest release is 4.5.7. Seems to be set now, so it shouldn’t report that any more. What’s more annoying is that when you update a language pack, it still thinks it needs updating. I think that’s a date/time/zone thing but have never got to the bottom of it, because it seems to come and go.

Is it preferable to raise a new issue for each, or bundle a handful with appropriate links/evidence into one issue?

If you can edit the Issue’s title, feel free to keep the noise down and bundle them all under Issue 427 if you like. I’ll tend to them en-masse, assuming they’re all capable of being done in 4.5.x without too much bother. Or raise them separately if it seems cleaner. I’m easy.

That seems to make most sense. I can’t edit the title, but I think the dev team can.
