I know from own experiences how frustrating it is to wait for a solution. However posting this message here on the forum AND to me (and how many others) in Private Messages does not help you to get my attention. I am following this thread from the beginning since it is an issue what is close to my heart. I will never answer any pm with a request for private help unless i am getting paid (wife and two kids must eat) or i am interested to private the help from my own intiative which i very often do and post all what happens on the site as well for general feed-back and knowledge/experience gaining. Next everything what is being answered in pm will not benefit the community so that does not happen.
So be so kind to refrain from sending me private messages with requets for help?
tnx

The codename ws supposed to be `Sunbolt` - but as I had incorrectly entered `Sunburst` into the version.php - it means that if you check your version within Joomla Admin it will return `Sunburst`.
Therefore 1.0.7 will now be officially referred to as
1.0.7 Sunburst.
Yes I am aware 1.0.1 is also called Sunburst.Therefore all Official Public Information releases wil refer to 1.0.7 as Sunburst.

Joomla! Roadmap hasn't been updated since Joomla! 1.0.5 was released (version 1.0.6 is still in a "TBA" stage in the document).
The Roadmap has been revised to take into account the recent releases and to account for future 1.0.x releases.
Apologies for roadmap not being update to account for 1.0.x releases.
It was not listed on our 1.0.x Release Procedure Guidelines document - this has been corrected

No to calrify - the difference between 1.0.7 and 1.0.6 is one fix to correct a critical bug in 1.0.6
However, to ensure people upgrade from older versions of Joomla! (1.0.5 and lower) the Public Information release for 1.0.7 highlight 1.0.7 as a repackaged 1.0.6 - thus is still considered a security release.

To clarify no-one was give special pre-release access to 1.0.6 Stable, when it had finish packaging from SVN, it was then uploaded to the forge for anyone to download - one of which was Phil.
The decision to release 1.0.7 was made after 1.0.6 was released and those first downloading and implementing - reported the Critical Bug in 1.0.6
Normal procedure after release is that as the person in charge of the release procedure I monitor the forums very closely after release to try identify if there are any immediate problems.
mic wrote:Publishing the 1.0.7 release shortly after 1.0.6 maybe helpfully, but the whole thing about the releases is really not satisfying!
I agree that the situation is unacceptable and I am instituting a full review of procedures to ensure this doesnt happen again.

Hi,
Whilst not wishing to add to anyone's workload... Shouldn't there be a copy of 1.0.7 (or even 1.0.6) in the tags directory of the SVN repository? Just thought I'd mention it in case it had been forgotten.
Regards,
Chris.

Upgraded to 1.0.7 and it looks really good ... seems to have finally brought to an end weeks of me having to hack the newsflash module to get Read More links correct on the front page ... glad to have that ironed out. Kudos to the developers and the team, and keep up the great work!

Andy Miller has now I added `tags` for 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and 1.0.7
Have also added this to the `Release Procedures Guidelines`.
The reason this was forgotten is that 'tagging' in SVN doesnt work like CVS, in fact SVN doesnt support tagging.
However we have adopted the procedure for our Joomla file repository.
We do this by merely copying over the codebase up to the release revision number, into a separate folder under /joomla/tags/

i agree thanks for the bugfixes but i wouldnt exactly jump up and down with joy about the fact that joomla has released 7 versions in the same time as Mambo released 1 version, especially today after this 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 released with one day because of critical bug.
I know what you are saying, that you appreciate the continued hard work of the guys. But lets be honest, some serious unacceptable foopahs have been happening and things really need to get tighten down - especially regarding the Quality Assurance.
That release of 1.0.6 should not have happened, even if Rey has stand up to be the target for blame, in my opinion it is not to be blamed on an individual coder, - the problem lies within the process. There need to be accountability.

Its one of the things that i find better about Joomla(than mambo) is the transparency, and the devotion to get the bugs fixed...
to err is human, to admit your mistakes and learn from them is divine
or something like that
i hope the core team will realize that they may need to take these things as symptoms of a deeper issue revloving around not having the fundamental processes in place, take this as a small learning experience and take this chance grow.

Well I can assure you there is an actuall Release Process document and once our new developer communication channel is up I will post the actual document - I aint just making that one up
However, the process guidelines are evolving and obviously need to do so in a large way after recent events.
Anyway you will see more public information from Stability Team (and other teams) about internal processes and guidelines shortly.

Props Rey for taking personal responsibility (what a refreshing change this day in age!) for the issues with 1.0.6. I generally don't update Joomla the first two or three days it comes out, instead waiting to see if the more adventuresome see if any "showstopper" problems arise. None the less, the turn around time was short to get this fixed. No hard feeling and keep up the great work everyone!

The problem persisted in spite of several attempts, but I installed opensef and the error went away.

@gulliam, that exactly why i love this place and haven't jumped ship since i started with mambo in 2002- the real spirit of the old forums/community came here IMO, Mambo is just a name anymore to me, i havent even tried any release from the new core mambo team and i dont plan to.
all the best
@ rey, thanks for the clarification and the transparency (and especiallythanks to all for all the bugfixes! ) now if we could get this SEF sorted out so that everybody is happy, things *should* get back to normal

as it says directly in the core .htaccess file, if you are running joomla in a subdirectory, you need to change this line:
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update YourJoomlaDirectory (just / for root)
# RewriteBase /YourJoomlaDirectory
so example if if your subdirectory is named 'joomla' then the line should be changed form this:
# RewriteBase /YourJoomlaDirectory
to this:
RewriteBase /joomla
this goes for subdomains also becuase when you create a subdomain in CPanel, it creates a subdirectory

Kudos on 1.0.7
I missed 1.0.6, but apparently that's ok. Upgraded from 1.0.5. The process is so simple. I put the .tar.gz file in my web root and then just tar -xvzf -filename-of-patch.tar.gz and VOILA! done. No issues.
Thanks team!

Personally I don't see what all the complaints are about a minor mistake in the release procedures...
I was one of the few who got the bad version and with one click to the forums the problem was solved in all of about 30 seconds...
Mistakes happen....thats why pencils have erasers on the end....
Don't be too hard on yourself Rey....And I wish everyone else would stop being so hard on you too...
there is no crime in making a mistake....it's only criminal if you don't learn from them!
