This is great thank you. Upgrade to 0.8 went perfect.

Just a note I think my browser is stripping out the first parts of  <php code tags in the  doc/manual, example screenshot attached /doc/manual/upgrading.html 
I'm using habari supplied .htaccess unmodified on shared hosting. The in browser source code is complete, looks ok and shows the full <?php echo $theme->header etc as expected so I'm pretty sure its the browser, tried in current Chrome, FF and IE9

Thanks for pointing that out, it's now fixed in the download. We
(meaning I, my responsibility) didn't properly escape the code.

I decided to upgrade to 0.8 from 0.7.x. I did it as somewhat of a
clean install, except I did not drop the database, and noticed that I
cannot log in. I've made a back up of the old Habari version just
today, so I can go look for the missing file, but this might cause new
users that install the software themselves a bit of grief. The address
of the missing file is <server address>/auth/login.

Habari relies on the web server to rewrite requests to URLs like
/auth/login, so /auth/login is not a real file. With Apache this is
controlled by mod_rewrite and the rules are defined in a file named
.htaccess when you install Habari.

Can you confirm that you have the .htaccess file at the base of your
Habari installation?

Depending on how you access your installation, the file may be hidden
by default. If you're using the shell, it will be shown if you run the
command:

ls -a

If you're using an FTP client, you may have to find a setting to show
hidden files.

I realized that earlier, when I found out what the login was not in the directory specified. I had to open my terminal emulator to check and found out it was not there. Also, can I just import K2 theme from my old backup? I really dislike the new default. I have not tried out the other theme though.

There have been changes to how the themes work (see the release notes for details). An updated K2 is now available on github, https://github.com/habari-extras/k2.

I'll try the link later. The link on the wiki does not work though.

Which link? Which page? I just checked the k2 link on the release notes, and that works.

The themes page where extra themes can be downloaded it was a link to github that returned a 404 error. I'd really like it if Chaotic Soul, or whatever its called, and/or iNove to be available though.

I presume you mean
http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Available_Themes#K2. It was pointing
at a mirror that was put up before it was added to habari-extras. I've
fixed the link, thanks.

I don't know about iNove. Chaotic Soul is a WordPress theme you should
be able to easily convert to work under Habari.

iNove is a WordPress theme like K2 and Chaotic Soul. I tried porting one of theme, but it was a lot to look at, even when remove unnecessary files.
