Pivot 1.40.5..
12:01We've just released Pivot 1.40.5, as a recommended maintenance release for all users of Pivot. This release fixes several bugs and features a few minor improvements for users of Pivot 1.40. For full details see the Changelog. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.
This version comes in three flavors:
- Pivot 1.40.5 Full - The full version
- Pivot 1.40.5 updater for 1.40 RC (Use this for upgrading Pivot 1.40RC, 1.40.0 through 1.40.4)
- Pivot 1.40.5 updater for other versions (For upgrading any other Pivot 1.x version)
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 a version between 1.0 and 1.40.4, you can get the appropriate updater.
- 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.

None of the mirrors seem to be working for me.

I wrote a German desription of how I did my update via SSH/shell. Worked like a charm.
I’ve downloaded it a couple of times on two machines, and it doesn’t uncompress successfully. Has anyone else noticed this?
It does seem that the pivot_1405_updater_from_1.x.zip archive is corrupted. Will have a look at it soonest. Thanks.
I’ve updated the package on Sourceforge, so it should work better now. Altrenatively, you van get it here: http://pivotx.net/files/pivot_1405_updat..
I’ve downloaded the new updated for the v1.x series, and it can be uncompressed without errors. Thank you very much.
I’ve gone through all the steps up to the "login to your pivot…" The upgrade checker thing said all was cool but when I try to log in I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: snippet_lang() in /users/web/hobbit/web/blog/pivot/pvdisp.php on line 26
What now?
