I am now in the process of developing the first service release for the 1.59 series of phpHaze. My initial plan was to release hotfixes rather than full upgrades, but I have now retracted this decision and will continue with mildly large upgrades over a period of time.
The first priority with this patch is obviously the bug introduced in 1.59 when adding links directly to your link directory, causing the action to say success but never actually completing. I have already fixed this bug in my local version for the unfinished upgrade package so never fear!
Also, I have some good news for this patch. I will be fixing the Backup Admin area in phpHaze. Currently, the backup downloader instead displays the DB dump in a large textarea -- opening the way for errors in the backup data. I have already fixed it, and it will now download the backup to your computer as it should rather than displaying it in a large textarea. I have also tweaked the interface a bit and brought the drivers up to par for 1.59 standards.
However, the restore from backup feature will be formerly disabled until further notice. It has since been visible in the backup admin, but inoperable. I will now disable it so that it isn't even visible so that you guys don't attempt to use it, and possibly damage your data.
I've been vigorously testing the backup-to-file feature and it seems to be working pretty well. I've added a Windows/Linux selection for the file as line feeds will differ depending on which server environment your site is running on.
I will not be introducing many new features in 1.59.1 besides what has been said above. The rest will be minor bug fixes, re-writes of old code structure, etc.
Please let me know if you guys encounter anymore errors in 1.59.0 as I will release 1.59.1 in the next few days. I am already aware of the following bugs, so please do
not report them again:
- Links Admin; cannot add new links
- Members List - Group Members Listing; tab invisible with group name and many MySQL errors
- Backup Admin; see above
