It’s time to deploy, test, get back to us! From now on, we will only fix blocking bugs, but also it’s time for you to contribute by providing updated translations! Please fork, update language files from the various plugins i18n folders and return us Pull Request for merging.

Also, we are writing on a new documentation repository and more generally the new forge. The Admin Guide is in good way (now in a wiki), please contact us (team at ajaxplorer dot info)  if you’d like to give a hand  for re-reading and correcting. Or even adding some dedicated how-tos.

• Version number : 4.3.3
• Download Core : ajaxplorer-core-4.3.3.zip or ajaxplorer-core-4.3.3.tar.gz
• Install instructions : See the 4-steps installation guide.
• Upgrade : package available from 4.3.1 to 4.3.3 on the « Developement » channel (see below) .
• Linux packages are available in the ‘testing’ channel.
• Demo : http://ajaxplorer.info/demo
• Contributor(s) : mattlef, piterdias, ultreia-es, chusopr, sabas
• Requirement : php5.3 and upper
• Major changes :
  • Startup Installer : deploy on a database, define admin user credentials, etc.
  • SQLite3 support
  • Lots of bug fixes since 4.3.2, to make it a serious release candidate for AjaXplorer 5
  • New theme customizations options
  • Workspaces now take and display a description
  • Test parameters (SQL connexion, email sender, etc) before saving them.
  • SabreDAV & Dibi updated to latest version

Upgrade from 4.3.1 or from 4.2.3

For those already switched to the dev branch (v4.3.1),  set directly to point 3, others, you have to first switch to « Development » update channel. Please make sure to backup your install before doing this!

1.  Backup the application files, and make sure the running instance is writeable by the server
2. Go to the plugins settings, and edit the « action.updater » plugin options : switch to the « Development » channel instead of « Stable ». Save.
3. Click on the « Upgrade » button in the top bar, you should see available 4.3.1 >> 4.3.3 packages.
4. Start upgrade.
5. You WILL probably have errors after that, you have to manually kill your session by clearing your browser cookies (and more generally your browser cache).
6. Also clear the following server folder : data/cache/i18n/*.ser
7. Refresh the page, you should see the new theme appear.
8. Check that your various configurations (users/repositories, plugins, etc) are still alive, if not, please report the problem!
9. Regenerate the data/public/.htaccess file to enable rewrite rule : to do this remove this file and also data/public/grid_t.png (if you’re coming from 4.3.1) or data/public/down.png (if coming from 4.2.3), and generate directly a new public link or minisite, to make sure it is recreated by the application (will contain new RewriteRule instructions).
10. Switching to new core configs system : to migrate from the horrid « bootstrap_plugins.php » file to a more human-friendly GUI for the basic plugins (AUTH, CONF), we introduced a new layer in the configurations management. But to avoid letting you down after upgrade, until the bootstrap_plugins.php file is there, if you try to edit the configs via the Main AjaXplorer Options node in the Settings panel, your edits will not be taken into account. Rename the php file to something else (bootstrap_plugins.php.orig), and this will allow you to configure the AUTH & CORE plugins via the « Authentification Options » and « Configuration Management » panels.

• New requirement : php5.3 and upper

Here is a summary of the major changes and new plugins, the complete changelog is available lower in this page. Please also read the 4.3.0 release note if you are just testing the dev channel for the first time. Many new features were alread introduced in the last release (Auth/Conf moduler rewrite, WebDAV comp replacement, Notifications and mailing, etc).

• Full rewrite of the WebApp theme : as many of you noted in our november survey, the interface needed a deep rethinking to be more intuitive for the end-users. We’ve be working with a UX expert (cheers Rod !) to rethink where each action and buttons should be, and we really hope you’ll love it! Please give us some feedback, or improved CSS if you want to go into the details! The new theme is called « vision ».
• Wording : along with the GUI re-designing, we are also reworking the whole wording of the application concept. Repository are now Workspaces, bookmarks should turn into flags and comments into tags…
• Realtime notification (server > client) : a brand new event mechanism allows the webapplication to be notificed in real-time of server changse : that way, most « reload » actions are now replaced by « atomic » loading of concerned change nodes. Concurrent modification by another user will appear automatically in real time. This is implemented by default with polling, an alternative WebSocket implementation is still in  experimentation. Events (and alerts, see meta.watch plugin introduced in 4.3.0) can be logged to a user feed, to provide a facebook-like notification feed (requires SQL).
• Many Fixes and feature requests posted in the forum were implemented, see detailed log below.

Automatic upgrade from 4.2.3

Testing the upgrader and reporting problems will be really helpfull, but once again, as this release is still in the « dev »  channel, please make sure to BACKUP YOUR INSTALL before upgrading!

• Backup the application files, and make sure the running instance is writeable by the server
• Go to the plugins settings, and edit the « action.updater » plugin options : switch to the « Development » channel instead of « Stable ». Save.
• Click on the « Upgrade » button in the top bar, you should see an available 4.2.3 >> 4.3.1 package.
• Start upgrade.
• You WILL have errors after that, you have to manually kill your session by clearing your browser cookies (and more generally your browser cache).
• Refresh the page, you should see the new theme appear.
• Check that your various configurations (users/repositories, plugins, etc) are still alive, if not, please report the problem!

What’s next ?
