<p>Beta Versions</p>


Nabeel
  • phpVMS is in active development at this time. When there are updates, they're posted to the code repository, and a “beta build” is created. The detailed logs of these builds are posted automatically into the“Build Log” forum. Any bugs which are fixed are also labeled and linked to from there. Updating to betas is the same procedure as updating to any release version of phpVMS.

    Being notified of newer Beta versions

    To be notified in your admin panel of updates to the beta versions, in your local.config.php file, add the following setting:

    Config::Set('CHECK_BETA_VERSION', true);

    And you will be notified of updates to beta, as if it were a release version. However, do note that with betas, some features may or may not work correctly, but will be fixed relatively quickly.

    Downloading the beta

    You can download it from the main downloads site, the file called "phpvms.beta.zip". From there, it is the same procedure as updating a regular phpVMS install.

    Using Git (Recommended)

    Github Link: phpVMS

    The git code repository has to be initially pulled down from github. On updates, there's one command which has to be run, to pull the latest code down (git pull). You have to initially setup the repository. The two main cases are listed below.

    Goto the directory you want to set it up in, for example, in the phpvms directory

    For the initial pull:

    cd phpvms
    git clone http://github.com/nshahzad/phpVMS.git .
    

    That will download all the files/code into the phpvms directory. And then finally (with or without the step above)

    If you're on a full release version from Git:

    If you're currently on a released version, from git, you'll have to direct git to use the latest version by:

    git checkout master
    git pull

    Then in both cases, to pull the latest version of the code:

    git pull

    To finally pull the latest code down. Next, visit the install/update.php file to complete the upgrade. This is handy for staying on the "latest and greatest".
