Welcome to Beta 1! We finally made it! After three months of intense alpha testing, and many more months of development, we're ready to move into beta testing. For a full run down of how to access the beta, see the overview page. A reminder that beta software will contain issues. We've done a lot of testing, but only limited testing upgrading from v4, so there's likely to be issues for some depending on server OS, and other site specific factors. It's best you don't immediately update your production site. 🙂 I want to extend my thanks to everyone that was involved in the early focus group, the very early alpha testing and the more public alpha testing. Each click, each error hit and each bug report moved us forward and I'm very grateful for your help. Now we enter the most exciting phase, the last stretch before a full release! You'll be able to download a little later today.

As Chris posted, just request another. 😀

If you're willing to do that, that would be excellent!

Hey Jimi, would you be interested in a little blog to kind of talk us through what you did, and what you used to achieve that? I think it'd be a great way to showcase your skills and also what is possible in v5 without having to dig too far into custom code and complex ACP stuff.

A little update on development. Our public preview of v5 alpha has been very busy, with lots of suggestions and bugs being posted. We released alpha 12 last week, and you can check out all the bugs fixed in our release notes. We've also tested upgrading a clone of this community, a private site we use with custom apps built on v4, and created a new custom site with multiple needs and those have been informative. The next step is public beta, and we're very close to that, so I wouldn't expect that to be very far out at all. Thanks for all your patience. Although v5 is currently alpha, it's proven to be incredibly stable already and we're looking forward to the next step!

Between v4 and v5? Or between alpha and beta? Unfortunately not, themes and apps made for v4 will need refactoring to work with v5.
