Happy Hump Day, fam. Today's a big day (I know I always say that every Hump Day but... )

*Says in a whisper* We've officially soft launched 4.6 🤫 🎉 

It's a soft launch because, well, you know how things can go 🔥. However, we're pretty darn satisfied with this rollout. Possibly The best ever. A more formal announcement will arrive in the near future.   

Right now, 4.6 is available for those on Cloud or those who've tested out our several Beta releases.

In case there's a glitch in the matrix, please make a backup of your community before upgrading. 

If you need a refresher, @Matt laid out what is new in 4.6 in our latest blog post.

Speaking of, I asked our Director of Development to share his thoughts on this release: 

  Quote

"The first thing to say is that it’s a team effort. There have been personal Herculean efforts to bring 4.6.0 to life. From planning right through to testing, multiple people are involved in every step of the way," he said.

"For me personally, big new releases tend to feel like a marathon. You press go and you’re off for months working on new features, tweaking ideas and concepts and working hard to bring it all together to cross the finish line."

Matt added, "I absolutely love what I do and feel especially proud on release day!"

🥲 In regards to 4.6, Matt said Invision Community "continues to build on its stable community platform by adding multiple new features."

Some of these include "anonymous posting; ideal for mental and physical health communities that can now allow their members to post questions anonymously, no-code integration with 3,000 other apps with Zapier, better mobile support, improved solved topic functionality and the brand new achievements system designed to nudge and reward good behavior and content."

"This release elevates your community experience with Invision Community significantly through multiple touch points."

We hope you guys enjoy 4.6 as much as we do!

Bringing this plane home... Since it's tradition, here are a list of updates since Beta 3 was released last week:

- Fixed an issue where the expiration date for a Member Subscription would not update when editing the subscription purchase.
- Fixed an issue where PayPal Billing Agreements / Subscriptions may not charge the correct value for sales tax.
- Improved performance when generating comment widgets on large sites.
- Fixed an issue where adding a theme setting to a parent theme didn't update children themes with the new setting
- Fixed an issue where the SQL Toolbox couldn't display query results
- Fixed an issue where the register button in the checkout process didn't open in a new tab if redirect registration is enabled.
- Fixed an issue where the full upgrader would show an empty error box.
- Fixed an issue where moving members after searching on a freeform custom field could return incorrect results.
 - Fixed an issue where online/recently browsing counts can be incorrect.

Thoughts on the official launch of 4.6?! Drop us a line in the comments. We'd love to hear from you!

I've been upgraded and using Php 8.0.7

There is no problem and no problem with @ehren.'s theme also. Perfect!

Thanks team

 I was online this morning and noticed the upgrade page here on Invision. But I think my 1st clue that we were on the final release was the bug tracker soon vanished afterward. 😅

I am still waiting on the CKEditor v4 fix that will resolve Mozilla Firefox Mobile. I figure it will be a few months before CKEditor fixes that (that's not an Invision issue, but still).  I, of course, also need to figure out why IN_DEV does not work for me.  For now, 4.6 is something for me to play with and play with I shall.

 

how about third party plugins compatibility?

Since we are on the topic. I know that @Real Mythotical will soon have his 4.6 running on the latest PHP v8 setup and maybe available to hire.

Great job guys!!!

Congratulations on the ongoing effort. Invision remains the obvious right choice. It shows in the vision you present and the delivery quality.
