Pivot 1.40.2.
11:46We've just released Pivot 1.40.2. This release contains a bunch of minor bugfixes and tweaks. For full details see the Changelog. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.
If no security issues or serious bugs are discovered, version 1.40.2 will be the last release in the 1.x series. We're currently hard at work on version 2.0, which is almost completely re-written from scratch. It's a bit too early to say when there will be a first public release, but be sure to check back here in the coming weeks, where we'll start showing off the new features and functions.
This version comes in three flavors:
- Pivot 1.40.2 Full - The full version
- Pivot 1.40.2 updater for 1.40 RC and higher
- Pivot 1.40.2 updater for other versions
So, if you want to set up a new install, use the Full version and read here on how to get started.
If you're running 1.40RC, 1.40.0 or 1.40.1, you can get the small updater. If you're running an older version (including 1.40 alphas and 1.40 betas), you will need to get the larger updater file.
- Extract the files on your computer.
- Make a backup of your website. (really)
- Upload all the files overwriting the ones already present.
- Download the upgradechecks tool, unzip it and upload to your pivot folder.
- Open pivot/upgradechecks.php in your browser and see if you have to make any changes.
- Log in to your Pivot, and do the following:
- Rebuild the index.
- Go to Administration » Weblogs, and click through your weblog so, the weblog configuration is updated.
- Make sure [[thickbox:head]] is in the <head>-section of your templates, if you want to use the thickbox popups.
- Rebuild all pages.
- Enjoy your brand-new Pivot!
Alternatively you can use our Pivot Setup script, which takes care of the installation/upgrading. Read about it here: Pivot Setup.
Tip: We've heard about people (mainly on OSX) who've had their FTP programs wipe the folders clean before uploading. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by reading this forum thread.
