Release notes for 1.0-beta6

Unfortunately drupal.org distribution packaging is currently broken for recruiter (see #1570660: Recruiter beta6 distribution build is broken), so here is a copy of the 1.0-beta6 release notes:

After a long time we are proud to roll another recruiter beta release. Hopefully this is the last beta we need before a release candidate in June 2012.

Upgrading from 1.0-beta4

Warning: Recruiter has been under heavy development in recent months. This release is very different from beta4 and might break your site. Do not upgrade production sites without prior testing!

Major configuration changes

• Search Facets: Recruiter now uses the Facet API for searching.
• Role export: User roles now have machine names and the role ids have changed. If you have any custom configuration (rules, ctools, views etc.) that relies on role ids you need to manually update that.
• Fields: Some fields on jobs and resumes have changed, other new fields have been introduced. There is no automatic data migration for any of the field changes, it depends on your use case what content you have in that fields. Old fields will not be deleted automatically, so you will see duplicated fields after the upgrade (e.g. field_job_employment and field_job_experience have been deprecated in favor of taxonomy term reference fields).

Before upgrading please disable the deprecated search_api_facets module and the recruiter modules that depend on it.

drush dis search_api_facets

Then replace your recruiter code base with this release. Run update.php to apply the database changes.
Got to the features overview page (admin/structure/features), re-enable the recruiter features and revert all features. If you have modified any of those in your configurations on purpose you have to carefully inspect the changes that have been made to the configuration items. You can enable the diff module to review overrides. Only revert things that you did not change yourself!
