drop_jobs 7.x-1.0-alpha10

New features
Bug fixes

Hot on the heels of last week's alpha9 release, I'm happy to announce alpha10!

This update further stabilizes the core functionality and modules in general and brings us closer to the much-anticipated first beta release.

Highlights

The Reports module has switched to Visualization API and implemented some basic reports for core features. Oh, and Job Applications are back! :)

Upgrade Path

As usual, there isn't one. You will have to reinstall from scratch in order to enjoy this new version. I apologize for the inconvenience but you've been warned! :) Also, if you are customizing stuff or developing new functionality on top of the Drop Jobs features, I strongly suggest you use Features Override in order to persist your changes in your own Feature modules. It's really both awesome and magical.

Changelog

Not all changes had issues for them but here are the ones that did:

drop_jobs 7.x-1.0-alpha9

New features
Bug fixes

This is a BIG new release! We've refactored a TON of things and things are looking MUCH better now! :)

Notable fixes include

  • Fixed search indices and searching for both jobs and resumes
  • Revamped (and hopefully final) structures for profiles and jobs
  • Implemented migrations for demo content which can be installed automatically
  • Full support for Search API's Database Search
  • More stuff than there were issues for and definitely more than I will ever remember :)

Roadmap

Getting the data structure stabilized and getting the searches working was a big step for us so please test it out and help make sure it's rock-solid.

There's still plenty of work to be done but hopefully there will be a new beta out in the coming week or so.

Thanks!!

PS - For the more curious, the (more or less) full list of fixes that had issues open for them is:

drop_jobs 7.x-1.0-alpha8

Bug fixes

This is a quick maintenance release which fixes some issues introduced be 7.x-1.0-alpha7, namely leaving Context Taxonomy out of the makefile and including a Privatemsg version with a known security vulnerability.

These are the release notes for 7.x-1.0-alpha7

This is a long-overdue release which fixes way more bugs than there were issues for, addresses installation problems and overall brings this MUCH closer to a stable release.

Warning: Work still needs to be done on both job and résumé searches and this will be a priority for the next release.

Regarding the upgrade path:

Unfortunately (and as stated in the project page) there is no upgrade path to alpha7. This distribution is under heavy development and things are constantly changing and being refactored and committing to an upgrade path between alpha releases would mean that I'd have even less time to work on new features and stabilizing the release. I'm sorry but I will offer minimal, if any, support dealing with upgrade issues up until we have a stable beta.

drop_jobs 7.x-1.0-alpha2

Bug fixes

Fixed installation profile error in 7.x-1.0-alpha1 that prevented the distribution from being installed.

(themes mistakenly added as dependencies in .info file)

drop_jobs 7.x-1.0-alpha1

New features

Tagging an initial alpha release to get something out there. This is nowhere near production ready and will probably break a lot during testing!
