Composr 11 beta1 released!

Version 11 beta1 has now been released. This version is a beta release of the next major version of Composr. Use caution when upgrading from 11 alpha. Upgrading to this release is unrecommended for live sites especially with non-bundled addons due to the upgrader not yet being stable and fully tested.

To upgrade follow the steps in your website's http://mybaseurl/upgrader.php script. You will need to copy the URL of the attached file (created via the form below) during step 4. As this is more than just a patch release it is crucial that you also choose to run a file integrity scan and a database upgrade.
Please make sure you take a backup before uploading your new files!


Your upgrade to version 11 beta1

Make a Composr upgrader

You can generate an upgrader from any version of Composr to any other version. If you access this upgrade post via the version information box on your Admin Zone dashboard then we'll automatically know what version you're running. If you'd prefer though you can enter in your version number right here:

This is the first version of v11 that supports upgrades from v10. Please be aware of the following:
  • The upgrader has not yet been tested for upgrading v10 sites with any code customisations (such as non-bundled addons)
  • We have not yet tested third party API connections.
  • The upgrader may still be unstable; only upgrade using a test v10 site. Please report any issues you encounter to the tracker.
  • The upgrader does not (and will not) support upgrading non-bundled addons. You will likely see a bunch of alien files on the file integrity scan if you have non-bundled addons. After finishing the main upgrader, you can upgrade non-bundled addons which are hosted on composr.app through "Launch site in safe mode" > Admin Zone > Structure > Addons (not officially tested yet; will be fixed in upcoming beta releases; please report issues to the tracker).
  • The upgrader now forcefully runs in safe mode so non-bundled addons do not break the upgrade process.

Be aware that we do not officially support upgrades from 11.alpha to 11.beta. although upgrading should be possible. It is highly recommended to start with a fresh install if you experience major issues.
  • If you are on a version before 11.alpha4, you must upgrade to 11.alpha4 before you can upgrade to 11.beta1
  • 11.beta1 introduces some database changes that may break 11.alpha sites. You may wish to run the "Check for MySQL database schema issues" tool after upgrading.
  • We have some patch code in the upgrader to handle most of the breaking changes from 11 alpha to 11 beta. But we do not guarantee it is perfect, especially for non-bundled addons.
