Radiant 0.6.5 has been a long time coming! And just to be sure, we want
to release a candidate or two to make sure we have everything solid.
There are some really major changes in this release, and here's the two
big ones:
* Rails 2.0.2 included
* RSpec is used in core and supported in extensions
You can download the Radiant 0.6.5 RC1 from
http://radiantcms.org/downloads/radiant-0.6.5-RC1.gem.
This release candidate is intended for developers and is NOT intended
for production use. Please report any bugs you find to the development
site at http://dev.radiantcms.org/.
== Installation
To install use the gem command (with 'sudo' as necessary):
$ gem install radiant-0.6.5-RC1.gem
The gem will install as 'radiant-0.6.5'.
=== Upgrading an existing project/site
1. Change the RADIANT_GEM_VERSION constant in config/environment.rb to
"0.6.5"
2. Update the Radiant assets in your project:
$ rake radiant:update
3. Copy your customizations back into config/environment.rb, if
necessary (see below).
4. Migrate the database if you are running 0.6.2 or earlier:
$ rake production db:migrate
5. Restart the server
=== Creating a new project/site
1. Invoke the 'radiant' command with your desired database driver:
$ radiant -d sqlite3 my_project
2. Bootstrap the database:
$ cd my_project
$ rake db:bootstrap
3. Startup the server and try it out!
$ script/server
== Internal Changes to config/environment.rb
This release has required a lot of changes to the internal API of
Radiant. End-users should be unaffected, but as a result of these
requirements, we have made significant changes to config/environment.rb
and config/boot.rb. When updating your existing projects,
config/environment.rb will be copied to config/environment.bak. You
will need to manually copy any customizations, especially
config.extensions and any other libraries, etc. that you require. *DO
NOT* copy config.load_paths, config.plugin_paths, or any of those items
to the new file; those settings have been internalized in this release.
Thanks again for everyone's contributions!
Cheers,
Sean
