Dolphin 7 (Hookie) RC3 is out!

This Friday features the special release of the week. It's Dolphin 7 RC3 today!

Along with the previous RC release, this one comes with a proper upgrade script too, which will automatically update your files (unless you made script modifications) and will keep the site data and settings in place.

Please, try this package and let us know how it rolls.

And yeah, don't forget to comment in comments and discuss in forums. Not the other way around.

What updates are those...? over 20 bugs moved for 7.1 version :( .. hope 7.1 will be out soon.. :(
AlexT
They are NOT bugs, but enhancements. It was told many times that enhancements are not accepted at all after first RC is out.
Zarcon
On my way to upgrading :) Thanks Boonex

So.

You guys don't think the inability to delete a page you've created in admin is a bug? You moved it to 7.1??

You don't think the inability to set the page width slider in page builder to even the defauly site width is a bug? Also moved to 7.1??

You can't do either of these things without digging around in the DB. Dolphin 6 was famous all over the internet for having a really lousy back end, and you guys are doing it all over again, when you just ignore some really basic admin features.

Personally, see more I don't mind digging around in the DB to make things work. In working with Dolphin for the past year, I've grown quite accustomed to it.

"delete a page you've created in admin" - it is enhancement, we have to move it to 7.1

"inability to set the page width slider in page builder" - the same.

If you want to see release in any future you have to accept the principle that any new feature is not accepted in RC. We have already taken some enhancements by mistake in previous RCs and it definitely causes some delay and more RCs.
mydatery
Alex, that is not an enhancement, it's a basic functionality that exists currently in D6. We should not be losing functionality by upgrading these sites to D7, we should be gaining functionality in new areas while maintaining the functionality in all areas that do not attain further functionality.

Basically this means, if it's not broken, don't fix it. In this case, you guys have taken away 2 basic functionality items that those who have used/developed D6 loved. Exactly how hard is it to see more add these to D7 now that you've taken them away?

And another thing.... How about a zip file with ONLY the changed files. I know you have the technology to provide this.
tech66
Yes!!! It is important to me to know that has varied, instead of simply to copy all package. I have changes in templates, in other files, I should do all anew.
edo
Awesome, how many RC's are you planning to have before going gold on 7?
Nighto2007
Thank you Boonex, Go Go I'm waiting the final version

I wish it's Christmas gift

Sorry, but I did not understand the tutorial to upgrade from 6.1.6 to 7! was confused when they say should be a clean installation.
Should I replace directories and files from my dolphin 6.1.6 by 7?
Help me please.

This might sound stupid ... but how many tables should the database contain ?

I'm going to install from scratch, so can I use the RC3 to start with ?

I already tried 3 times, but every time I get an error in the last step where they ask to change permissions for the INC folder to 755. But it is already in CMOD 755 and I'm still getting the error.

How to work around this ?
gameutopia
It might be that your hosts standard setup is something other than 755. Ask your host what the standard folder/directory permission level is for the server. If they tell you 750 or 705, etc. then you would want to go with that instead. There are a few hosts out there that have some pretty tight less than standard setups. Not that it is bad, just scripts like dolphin quote the more standard, and occasionally you get a host that uses a different setup.

I also had this issue with previous RCs and found it was actually my FTP client that was the problem. I worked around it by changing the permissions via the Cpanel instead.
jec1944
If you have read through some of the intall scripts, they are written to set you folders at 755. I had the same problem but clicked skip, because 755 is the right permission at least on my server running php inCgi mode. I can remember when you had to do that manually and they were all 777.
