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 !!

Waiting the final release to congrat. But, yes: excellent work by Oleg, excellent work by Stef and excellent “Hive” back-end by Phil. Thank you lot, all!

Thanks for testing, hope you will like it. Our recent activity has been quite intensive, so some bugs might still hide themselves. Please stress-test article preview and second pass PHP if you have time.

And thanks for all your support, you are great, old chaps!

Just want to reiterate how great this next update is.

My emergency upgrade of the ancient site mentioned in the other thread took me from txp 4.0.8 to txp 4.8.0-beta in one leap. The upgrade went well despite the huge distance (tho’ in visual terms the 8 and 0 have just switched places ;-) and about the only thing that didn’t seem to be quite as it should were some Admin preferences that were no longer on the right pane/order.
The site was from asy_wondertag / chh_if_data / sed_section_fields / lam_accordian / hak_image / upm_textile / mem_glinklist days (remember those!) and I have dropped from 40+ plugins to just 6 now – and one of those is for dev purposes, one for a dashboard and one I might be able to get around by enabling a php tag for txp:evaluate. Pretty good all in all.

So: thank you all again!

EDIT: I hadn’t updated the “master” branch of my fork, so it tells me there were 640 commits between 4.7.3 and 4.8.0-beta 1.
