5.4.1 Beta Available for General Download, Beta Testers Needed!
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey everyone, just wanted to mention that I've packed up 5.4.1b2 and placed it on concrete5.org for download. I've also made the full changelog available.
It's not quite ready yet but it's getting very close. Obviously we need your bug reports (including issues when upgrading, and with full page and block caching) now more than ever.
5.4.1 Highlights: 5.4.1 is bringing improved performance (including better block caching and full page caching), an updated more stable version of our rich text editor TinyMCE, some very nice file manager improvements, lots of bug fixes, W3C validation fixes and widget rendering using CSS3 instead of custom graphics.
Full changelog (it's a long list):

Yay! This beta totally rocks!
Between the webOS 2.0 beta and Concrete 5.4.1, it's been a fun week!
The only (small) thing I've seen so far is that I edited a Media Library block, and the title said "Edit Media%20Library"
Everything feels SO MUCH faster. This is great. I've also been really looking forward to sorting file sets! I'll have to update the Media Library add-on to support a default sort-order option. When you pull up a file set, is it automatically sorted into the user's order, or do I need to do anything special?
(Oh, one other thing. I just browsed back to a page which had previously been opened for editing. I clicked to say that I was done editing, but the styles remained as if I was editing. After I refreshed the page, clicked edit and clicked done it went back to normal)
(I got the "display order" for file sets wired up with Media Library. Easy-peasie, pudding and gherkins)

Using Opera 10, the buttons in the Dashboard are square. Do you think you could add the CSS styles for Opera, so it's rounded, too?

Mainly, it's including styles like "-border-top-right-radius" in addition to "-webkit-border-top-right-radius"
Thanks!

Got it. Had added those styles to certain other areas but not to the button or to the loading icon.
Not had a chance to test a full upgrade or put the full caching through its paces yet, but few visual things (Chrome ver 3 & 6).
TinyMCE seems to lose some of the dialog buttons styling when in Office or Advanced mode (when you call up the image or link dialogs inside the interface, for example) - see attached grab. In 'Simple' mode these work fine...BUT a bunch of the styling seems to have been lost (font, font-size, form styling, etc...) as per the second grab.
Also, as I think has been spotted and reported by someone elsewhere on the forums already - '%20' is sneaking into a few (not all) of the named block editing interfaces in place of an actual space. See YouTube block grab attached. A couple of my custom blocks are definitely doing the same.
Flawless apart from that so far...quicker page loads, great little additions here and there, love it that the front-end access to File Manager and Sitemap is included and switchable. Runs like lightening in new Chrome 6!
I'm willing to take the upgrade gamble on one of my less vital live sites to stress this thing a little more...maybe not a great idea, but is it safe to do this? I'll obviously back everything up but, should you release the final version in a week or two, would I then be able to update this beta to final or would I have to start from 5.4.0.5 again?

Yeah, I see this as well and was just about to report it. The issue seems to be the call to encodeURIcomponent() on line 63 of ccm.ui.js.
By the way, where are we supposed to report these issues? Version 5.4.1 beta doesn't appear to be an option in the bug tracker.

Here is fine for reporting:
http://www.concrete5.org/developers/beta/beta-bugs/5-4-1-developmen...
This bug should now be fixed in svn.

Except that I can't get there. I get the perpetual log-in.

Ah. You have to be a member of the beta group to get in - which I thought you were.

Hi
Just installed the latest beta from the download section of the website and installed it on a new clean site.
Everything seems to be ok, but the filemanager is not showing the files they seem to upload ok as I can see them in the file system in windows, all the permissions for the files and subfolders are ok.
Thanks.

The File Manager Upload Complete window (the new window with Properties and Sets all together) does not close after clicking save in Firefox and Chrome. The dialog box is blank in IE8.
File properties are updated however.

Just downloaded the beta via the provided link in the post, FTP'ed the 'concrete' directory to my server, ran the update script ( MySiteWasHere.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade ) and it still says I'm running 5.4.0.5.
Any ideas? Is there a different process for these beta releases?

If you've updated your site using the built-in updater, you'll have to go into config/site.php and remove the DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED constant and then re-run the upgrader.
Thanks for the help.
