Core Releases
We are happy to announce that the first update to concrete5 8.3, version 8.3.1, is now available. This is a maintenance release but it's add some nice new features and fixes some bugs in 8.3.0. Any site running 8.3.0 is encouraged to update, and those that are behind should now take another look at 8.3.0.
The biggest new feature to 8.3.1 is the upgrade path: it's now possible to update from any version as far back as 5.7.5.13 to 8.3.1 directly. This update also comes with some improvements to the process for multilingual sites, so anyone with a multilingual site running 5.7.x that has wanted to upgrade, we're hoping you'll take another look at 8.3.1.
View all the new features in 8.3.1 here.
8.3.0 is a huge release, adding previous commercial add-ons like the Document Library and the concrete5 calendar to the core for free! Learn more about 8.3.0 here.
We recently released the first release candidate of 8.3.0, featuring an integrated calendar, document library and much, much more. We're really excited about it. Now, the second release candidate is available. It fixes a number of upgrade issues, and adds support for those who have the current concrete5 marketplace calendar add-on installed.
concrete5 8.3.0 is right around the corner, and it features a ton of updates. We need help testing it! Download the release candidate from our downloads page and post issues in GitHub.
Read on for more about what's new.
concrete5 8.2.1 is now available! It is strongly recommended for anyone running version 8.0 and above, and fixes a number of issues with 8.2. It also adds searching to express objects and more!
After a lengthy development period and a long release candidate period, concrete5 8.2.0 is now available! This is a huge update, with over 175 new features, bug fixes, improvements and updates. It's definitely our largest release for version 8, and one of the biggest releases we've ever done.
We are pleased to announce that release candidate 2 for concrete5 8.2.0 is now available! (Release candidate 1 was actively worked on in GitHub but was never publicly posted to concrete5.org). You can download 8.2.0 RC2 from our downloads page on concrete5.org. We are really excited about 8.2.0 please download it, backup your 5.7 sites and update them, or install 8.2 fresh. A full list of what's changed in this version is available here. Read on for more information, including some important backward compatibility information (especially important if you have Express Form custom templates.)
concrete5 5.6.3.5 is now available! Version 5.6 has been stable for a very long time (the previous version, 5.6.3.4, was released nearly two years ago.) We're forging ahead with exciting updates in version 8, but 5.6 still contains some worthwhile fixes and improvements for legacy sites, including
- Security improvements
- Workflow improvements
- Bug Fixes
- Export Improvements
You can download concrete5 5.6.3.5 here >
This last one is a big one; if you have a legacy site and you'd like to migrate it to version 8, the first step is to upgrade it to version 5.6 so you can use the 5.6 legacy migration tool to export your sites. 5.6.3.5 fixes a lot of bugs with that process. You can get the full list of 5.6.3.5 fixes and changes here.
concrete5 8.1.0 is now available. In addition to a bunch of bug fixes and minor improvements, this update adds the ability to the form block to use an existing Express object form, dramatically improves concrete5's time zone support and much more.
Today's the day for a big update! concrete5 8.0.3 is now available, as is 5.7.5.13. 5.7.5.13 is a tiny maintenance release we broke Environment Information again in the last update (sorry!) and this fixes it. 8.0.3 is fixes a number of bugs in 8.0 and is highly recommended for those running 8.0. Check it out!
concrete5 8.0.2 and 5.7.5.12 are now available! This is a pretty small update, but if it fixes issues that you're experiencing you'll be sure to appreciate it! 8.0.2 smooths out more issues with the update process, fixes a bug with Express that made working with Express impossible in 8.0.1, and even adds a little feature to go with our latest Express video.
5.7.5.12 is a tiny release; it fixes an incompatibility in the system environment dashboard screen when installed on PHP versions below 5.4.
