Release notes

Initial Alpha1 release.

Release notes

Alpha 3 came out in July of 2010, nearly a year ago. There has been extensive changes since then. Advanced Forum doesn't store any data outside of settings so there is no issue with your forum content when upgrading. The styles, however, have changed significantly. If you have a custom style, your best bet is to re-apply your changes to a current style.

This alpha wraps up the really major changes. From here, releases will be faster with a goal of getting to 2.0 by Summer.

Important upgrade notes:

• Visit the settings page, confirm all is still set as you want it, and save the page. This will take care of any variable changes and avoid errors from bad settings data.
• The boxy style was replaced by Silver Bells. If you are using either version of boxy, be sure to change to a different style before upgrading. Failure to do this may result in errors as AF tries to use a style that no longer exists.
• The old icons with embedded text will not work with the new styles. See #1052488: Document how to use old images with embedded text
• If you are using Author Pane, be sure to use 2.1 for style compatibility.
• If you are upgrading from prior to Alpha 3, be aware of the Views dependency.

Changes since Alpha 3
#1044322: A new topic with no comments does not show new post icon by rcurtin, Michelle: Fixed topic listing icon not showing new posts on brand new topics.

Release notes

Alpha 3 is working well for me on Coulee Region Online and in my dev testing, but it's still alpha so make sure you do extensive testing of your own before deploying on a live site and when upgrading.

This alpha is intended to work with Author Pane Beta 1 and may not work quite right with older versions because the theme function changed.

There are still some known bugs and many more features to be added. See #753320: Advanced Forum road map as well as the issue queue for details.

Changes since Alpha 2:

#787454 by berdir, mikey_p, merlinofchaos, and Michelle: Fixed error in SQL that caused new posts to be counted twice if revisions were on when the node was moved to another forum.

#622670 by neclimdul: Fixed clipped folder icons when no posts in forum.

Release notes

This is an initial release of the new version. It's fairly solid but I wouldn't put it on a production site, yet. If you are building a site that you expect won't be done for a couple months, you'll want to start with this version because the styles have changed significantly since 1.x. Testing is appreciated. I'm aiming for a full release in September, though that is subject to change.

Author Pane is still required and you must use the 2.x version, which is still in dev. I expect to make an alpha of that in the next couple days. There is a new dependency on CTools and you will want the very latest version of that. Views 2 and Nodecomment 2 are not strictly required but are highly recommended as some features aren't available without them.

Also note that if you don't have your forums in a container, they won't show up.
