Version 0.4-pre - Testing

[ErisDS]

There is now a pre-release of 0.4, called 0.4-pre, which has been published ready for testing.

If you are able to do some testing, please let us know what you have successfully tested by adding a comment here detailing what OS/en, dev/production mode, database etc.

If you find any bugs, please raise them according to the contributing guidelines

Some important areas for testing:

• using production environment
• using MySQL
• installing ghost in a subdirectory
• turning on dated permalinks
• trying out proxy-based ssl
• theme switching, with partials
• post editing, including adding tags, and modifying other settings
• uploading images and importing files

Thanks!

Just tried it and the only thing I noticed is that the static page checkbox is misaligned under Firefox: I think I saw that before, probably something that should be fixed before the release.

Will do some more testing later.

Windows 7 Professional x64, SQLite, Node 0.10.13, Firefox 26

Thanks @jgillich That's an awesome spot.

Hi I wanted to know how I might be able to help with pre testing.

Thanks Kerry Rogers

Download the release zip and try it out the same as you would with a main release :+1:

It seems query strings were introduced on static assets since 0.3.3. Google says this is not recommended and not a best practice (https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/caching): "Don't include a query string in the URL for static resources. Most proxies, most notably Squid up through version 3.0, do not cache resources with a "?" in their URL even if a Cache-control: public header is present in the response. To enable proxy caching for these resources, remove query strings from references to static resources, and instead encode the parameters into the file names themselves."

Yes this is very much on purpose. We have an issue around static asset management, and introducing a more robust asset pipeline style management process #1405 that it wasn't possible to complete in time for 0.4.

Instead, we determined that even though this solution is not 100%, it is still better than what we had, which was no management or cache control what-so-ever. So consider this a step in the right direction, but by no means the end product.

By introducing basic, but incomplete asset management & cache control in 0.4, it also gives theme developers a chance to get on board before we implement a full solution.

That makes sense, thanks. Keep up the good work, loving Ghost so far!

I just pulled from master and the Casper submodule as per the Contributor guide and tested both creating and editing posts. It appears that I am unable to create a new line. I tried spacing, double spacing both with and with out the trailing space characters at the end of each line.

EDIT: To clarify, this only appears on the home page and may be expected behavior, but IMHO it should be addressed.

[ErisDS]

@AJ-Acevedo It is absolutely expected behaviour of the {{excerpt}} tag, which outputs an HTML-free snippet of your post. If you want to display something else, you can by editing the theme or choosing a different one to Casper.

unable to start Ghost 0.4 pre after install? Can anyone help me get this going?

Thanks Kerry

Hi Kerry,

As explained in: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/1873 if you're upgrading an older ghost install remove the old core folder before copying the new one.

The only thing I found so far that appears to be in error is the fade effect from the tag icon overlays the first tag. Not sure if that's intentional, but appears to be a z-index issue to me.

[ErisDS]

@underscorediscovery I cannot reproduce that issue, please can you raise it as a full bug report with all the tech details about your browser etc?

Closing this issue in favour of #1896 now that 0.4.0-pre2 is out.

[ruby0x1]

@ErisDS Curiously, I tried pre2 and the tags work as expected. It's not critical and now I can't reproduce so, I won't make an issue just yet.
