This is the manual installer (as opposed to the regular quick installer) for version 11 beta6. This version is a beta release of the next major version of Composr. Upgrading to this release is unrecommended for live sites, v10 sites, or v11 sites with content translations enabled.


Important upgrade information

Please consider the following before upgrading to version 11 beta6:
  • Please do not upgrade if your site has content translations enabled (it is currently broken).
    You can check in your _config.php file; if you do not have a multi_content setting defined, or it is set to '1', then content translations are enabled and you should not upgrade to this version (wait for a later one).
  • The way Composr compiles and executes overridden code has changed behind the scenes.
    Now, Composr will create compiled PHP files under a new _compiled directory (from a combination of the original and custom / overridden code) and use those when necessary. Consider this a cache. You may need to periodically reset it (if you change your code) by going under Admin Zone > Tools > Cleanup tools > Compiled software scripts, or by simply deleting everything under _compiled except .htaccess and index.html. This feature has not been thoroughly tested. Please report issues to the tracker if you find them. You may experience broken compiled files from time to time which can be resolved with a simple refresh of the page. But you should still report this to us when you experience it.
  • Your site may be broken after upgrading if you have non-bundled addons installed.
    This is because of the above bullet point. Simply launch your site in safe mode from the upgrader (or put keep_safe_mode=1 in your URL), and then upgrade your non-bundled addons through Admin Zone > Structure > Addons management. If your site is not detecting updates, you can download them from composr.app and import them.
  • We fixed a few upgrader issues that were present.
    Those who may have had trouble upgrading in the past because the personal upgrader on the site was broken should be able to now. Also, non-bundled addons were not being indicated as an update available when they should have; this should now be fixed.
