2.5.17 and 3.2.1 Release Candidates Available For Testing

[Michael Babker]

Hello everyone!

We are pleased to announce that release candidate packages for pre-release testing of the upcoming 2.5.17 and 3.2.1 releases are now available.  Please note that these are *NOT* intended for use on a production website; these packages are made available for pre-release testing to ensure a smooth update process and that there are no critical issues preventing normal operation of the CMS.

Here are the links to the download packages:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=FrsReleaseBrowse&frs_package_id=6818 - 3.2.1.rc packages

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=FrsReleaseBrowse&frs_package_id=6819 - 2.5.17.rc packages

Updates can be tested from within the CMS by setting the options for the update component so that the Update server is set to Testing.

If any bugs are encountered during testing, please report them to the Issue Tracker at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=8103 so they can be reviewed and patched.

Tracker seems broken. I click on any summary on the Issue Tracker and I get:
Error
Call to undefined function renderAssociationList()

For those who prefer to read code, I'd suggest https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/compare/3.2.0...master for 3.2.1 and https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/compare/2.5.16...2.5.x for 2.5.17 to see the commit-by-commit changes.  For those looking for tracker items, http://developer.joomla.org/version-3-2-1-release-notes.html currently encompasses all tracker activity since the last release date (still need to go through and filter out the 2.5 specific items from there and create the 2.5.17 page).

Michael, is there an easy way to find out what's been changed to focus the testing?

Thanks in advance.

This was confirmed by 4 individual testers on Joomlacode. Why is this not in the 2.5.17 release where we have tested as idiots to get this resolved before release?

joomla 3.2.1 should be developed with php 5.4+ not 5.2, most hosting companies are upgrading to php 5.4 now

Hi Brody

This list is only for announcements and it is not for discussions. Please use the JCMS mailing list instead. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/joomla-dev-cms.

On a sidenote: Joomla 3.2.1 requires PHP 5.3.1, not 5.2. See http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html for the technical requirements.

Kind regards

Thomas
