Invision Community 5.0.4 Beta 1 Released

Invision Community 5.0.4 Beta 1 is now available

Please celebrate responsibly.

A whole two weeks has passed since our last release. The extra week allowed us to fully review a few larger updates that we've held back and require a beta or two to fully test before we're happy to include in a full release.

Things to test

There have been some areas that have received a lot of attention and need extra special testing, these include:

• Page Editor (now works correctly for right-to-left languages but needs some testing in LTR)

• Custom badges (lots of work to make them more efficient and store a built version in SVG format)

• Editor bug fixes (lots of complex fixes, so please test the editor thoroughly)

If you want a full list of changes, you can see that here. The release notes also have some changes which may impact third party developers.

Using Betas

If you do not see an upgrade, it means that you do not have betas enabled.

Invision Community Cloud

Cloud customers can opt-in to betas in the client area.

Invision Community Classic

Self-hosting customers can either download the release from the client area, or add the following line to constants.php

define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );

If you do not have this file, create it in a text editor, so the contents looks like:

<?php

define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );

Let me know how you get on!
