Elgg 1.2 released

The Curverider team has quietly released Elgg version 1.2 as a package today. It appears to be the same revision as the current trunk in their Subversion repository. I haven’t seen anything ticked off as completed on their roadmap page, so I assume this release mainly consists of bug fixes and performance enhancements. I will give it a closer look later. If anybody knows of specific changes, please share in the comments.

The package is available on Elgg’s main download page. It is not currently in the release directory of their SVN reposistory.

    Not sure about anyone else, however I am noticing a performance boost.

    Steve, sometimes I do wonder if it’s the “competition” that tries to throw a few monkey wrenches into the works. It sure fits their MO.

    Hopefully someone will take the code and run with the fork at this time. It’s a good point to do it, if anyone is thinking about it.

    I upgraded and now get this error

    Table ‘fri0832010204308.elgg_private_settings’ doesn’t exist QUERY: SELECT value from elgg_private_settings where name = ‘period’ and entity_guid = 359

    Any ideas? I am not that skilled in SQL so a little walk through on how to fix this would be great :D

    Jared, that is a new table in the database that was added between 1.1 and 1.2. Did you upgrade your dataabse? Also, it is best to post these questions on http://groups.google.com/group/elgg-development or http://groups.google.com/group/elgg-users

    @mmontesp – I agree I was just going to add a comment about missing CHANGES and/or NEWS in the release tarball.

    We can see the latest changes here: http://trac.elgg.org/elgg/log

    Anyway the ELGG team should publish an official changelog of ELGG 1.2

    What does this mean: “Removed upgrade client since it doesn’t really matter.”

    @Ro I was going to say view the change set or diffs but its closed to public viewing – not very open

    I added a post yesterday to the Developers group on this: http://groups.google.com/group/elgg-development/t/45e95f105e4f8eab

    The changes are mostly about caching.

    I know this might not be the best place to post questions, but does anybody know a forum or any other resource where i can either:

    1.-Find a tutorial on how to retrieve session information from outside elgg
    2.-Find a good tutorial for building plugins (the official blog tutorial is very superficial)
    3.-Find a plugin for an event calendar and polls ( :p can’t say i didn’t try )

    Thanks a lot!

    Has anyone else encountered a problem with the lost password functionality?

    My elgg correctly sends the email with the link to have a new password sent, but then when a user clicks this link and is redirected, they always run into “Could not change your password on the system”.

    It seemed there was a post on elgg with comments about it, but since they removed all the comments, the page appears to be gone.

    Just thought I’d follow up and say that I upgraded to 1.2, and the problem seems to be solved. Thank you Elgg team.

    Steve,
    This is your blog. If it were me I’d delete troll / whiny comments without a second’s pause.

      Mark–

      You’re right. It hasn’t even a hint of merit.

      Done!

    i gone through the source code and found that Marcus Povey(one of the main developer at elgg) added the memcache to some classs and functions, like ElggEntities class get_entity function i have not tried it yet ,to turn on the memcache , we need to uncomment memcache setup part in engine/setting.php.
