concrete5 5.7.3 Now Available

Permalink
Just wanted to let everyone know that 5.7.3 is now available. This is our biggest 5.7 release yet (by far). It fixes a slew of bugs, but its now includes multilingual website support (which used to be available in a separate add-on, Internationalization, in 5.6.). This multilingual website support also contains some features that used to only be in our Internationalization Enterprise add-on or other commercial add-ons (the ability to translate portions of your sites interface, rather than just the content you edit through concrete5.)

Additionally, we've gotten some old functionality back into the core, including the ability to set default page type permissions and attributes, and some better page type permissions in advanced permissions mode. You can also copy a page type. The sitemap is improved too, with a much better add page experience from the sitemap itself (which may in some capacity trickle out to the front-end add page experience too.)

Additionally, we've got a bunch of little stuff, like links in the image slider, lots of multilingual improvements, and lots of bug fixes.

Merry Christmas!

Is it safe to assume that swapping my current (5.7.2.1) core concrete directory with the 5.7.3 one will work? Are there any database related stuff?

I've disabled the Marketplace support - should I see anywhere the Upgrade button or similar?
Also the current server I'm on is not so friendly in terms of file/directory permissions so it may be best for me to just upload the core directory?

I used this approach to update 5.7.2.1 to 5.7.3. It was very quick and easy.

"Drag the new concrete directory over the old one, and go to index.php/tools/required/upgrade/ (which will redirect you over to the new upgrade path.)"

Alright, that worked! Do you think the database has been altered in any way?

There were some database changes, mainly to support the new multilingual features.

yeah, there were actually a number of database changes. We create a few tables, install some new single pages, install a new block type, and some new permissions, which also means we're copying values from old permissions.

105 MB?
The concrete directory is 79.4 MB, whereby "vendor" is 44.7 MB. The zip file is 33.1 MB.

Yeah, that's weird. It should only be around 34megs, very similar to other releases.

Somehow the manual Update process does not work. I copied /concrete to the root directory and called the /tools/upgrade URL and it still tells me it is 5.7.2.1 after the upgrade...

May I have missed something?

That's what i call Christmas! Thank you for that update!
Multilingual support is a huge step forward.

It appears to me that even page loading speed has increased...

Very nice!

Same here. It take apprpox 30-60 seconds to load a page or open dashboard. Apache 2.4, PHP 5.5

If a page takes 30-60 seconds to load, there must be something wrong with the server or the internet connection. Have you checked the site with webpagetest.org?

I'm on a shared host and for me, pages are loading very fast (subjectively felt and also confirmed by check via webpagetest.org).

An exception i found is the login page (when access to the website is restricted to private or registered users): this page takes significantly longer to load (due to concrete/css/app.css (241 KB, 1.7 sec) and concrete/js/jquery.js (93.8 KB, 1.2 sec)).

Is there any help for the Translate Site Interface tool?
