Hey everyone,
Here we are with the last alpha release! This release includes a lot of core improvements, again a huge round of bug fixes, as well as several new features.
We now have discussion threads working, and in order to get these working you will first need to go into the admin panel and edit your nodes to point to a forum. Child categories will inherit the forum from their parent if you don't choose to override the option -- so you only need to set a forum on your parent categories. After you set the forum you're going to need to go and edit your item / save it in order for the discussion to be generated. I'm sorry you have to do it this way I just didn't get time to build a cron entry to do this for you.
We also have many grid improvements and you can see by the way the item layout now looks we're starting to migrate towards the modular layout. You have the ability to edit your pages however I must warn you XRGrid is largely untested so please don't get too experimental with it or you may run into some issues. I would stick to using it only in your Reviews sections for now. Also as of right now you're only able to define one layout for the item view, which means that the index of item, the discussion thread, and the add-review page are all going to have the same widgets. I'm still developing the part that will allow fully unique pages.
There are many other features and fixes included that I can't recollect right now because all these weeks seem to bleed together, but if you've paid attention to the suggestion/bug reports forums that will give you a good idea of what this contains. I'm sure you'll notice the stability and growth of this build that. That's why we're jumping into beta with the next one!
If you haven't done so already please take a look at the
roadmap that I posted earlier. It better lays out my plans for the coming weeks!
