Beta squad! (I'm trying something new, don't judge me)

Invision Community 5.0.0 Beta 2 is floating through our cloud deployment system and should be available soon.

There's a lot fixed in this version, so thank you for your patience over the past week or so. The full list of fixes is here: https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes-v5/

Hopefully we didn't add to many new bugs. 🤞

Awsome!

Awesome. Can’t wait.

It’s been a while since I last used Invision. Do upgrades appear in the ACP or am I supposed to upload a new set of files? Selfhosted.

Self hosted will need to do the manual upload this time. I think the self hosted download zip from cloud is broken in this release.

Are you able to clarify this? I downloaded the Beta 2 zip from AdminCP (for some reason the FTP credentials I was putting in wasn't working and leading to errors), but I downloaded I guess the 'delta' zip (with not all the files, just those needed for the upgrade) and manually uploaded them to my FTP. The upgrade seemed to work, but I haven't tried the frontend yet for fear of losing data as per this thread. Is there another method I should download and manually upload Beta 2, or have I done it correctly as you described?

I started the automatic upgrade process in ACP and it went through until the actual upgrade. So downloading, unpacking etc. worked. Then it asked me to do the upgrade manually. Provided a download link with only the delta files. I followed the instructions, downloaded the delta, uploaded the files, started the upgrade with the provided button and it went through.

This is just for information.

Wait, can I now upgrade my IPS 4 or have to wait final Product?

I'm one of the lucky ones. Self-hosted upgraded went through for me 🙌

Go to your File Manager in cPanel (or whatever you use), upload the zip file, extract the contents in the correct directory (in my case, I had to move them from the ips_a8c49 folder to the main directory), and go to the /admin/install link on your community - easy as that. 

 

Just did it on my behalf, without any issues.

It is not recommended to update your production site with the Beta unless you know exactly what you're doing. You usually don't get support for Beta software if something goes wrong and you have to fix it yourself.

I don’t see a fix for this API bug on the changelog (I was told it will be fixed on the next beta), can you please confirm if it’s fixed on beta2 or not?

It is fixed. There was one branch for all v4 fixes that had been merged in. 

For me (self-hosted ), the upgrade was successful. The package was downloaded manually.

Just went through the update process via the AdminCP and everything seems to have gone through just fine.

Like a glove!

The update went through smoothly without a hitch.

Yep same here, through ACP Admin. I had to run an ssh command to be able to use sftp option when they ask about credentials, after that all good. Without manual ftp install
