[spip-dev] Help on using SPIP 1.8

Dev
1

Hi to all,

I'm setting up a site and I chosen Spip as my CMS (after deep
search!).

I can't find a document on differences between version 1.7 and
1.8b, any link?

I whish to know how "good" and supported is the beta version
SPIP-v1-8b1.zip that I found into
http://www.spip.net/spip-dev/DISTRIB/.

I installed it and discovered two small bugs, one that breaks the
help system and one that breaks the forums.

What could be the correct path to fix/use the DISTRIB beta
version?

I see that the bugs I discovered, are fixed into the latest devel
release. But also I see that differences between the latest
release and the beta 1.8b1 are too much, so backporting fixes are
infeasible.

What do you suggest to run a 1.8 site, but without the risk to
break everything each day installing the latest devel version?

Good!

Yes, we're working very hard on this 1.8 version.

Just use today's CVS, and don't find bugs :slight_smile:
Usually we're very reactive correcting bugs, but if you're worried about the
trouble of reinstalling, you should probably wait till 1.8 is stabilized.
This can take a while though.
