    Elgg 1.7.2 released

    ,

    Elgg 1.7.2 has been released!  Grab it now from the usual place.  As always, be sure to backup your installation and follow the included upgrade instructions of the newer version of Elgg when upgrading.  This upgrade requires an update to the .htaccess file, so please be sure to read the upgrade instructions!

    1.7.2 was primarily a bugfix release.  Some of the more annoying bugs that were squashed include:

    • Saving drafts and previewing blogs works as expected.
    • Page titles can now be edited in the Pages plugin.
    • Group names no long show up in Friends Collections.
    • Added a group member listing page.
    • Group forum topics can be edited.
    • User data for usernames with UTF8 characters are correctly migrated to the new data scheme.
    Plugin developers will be pleased to know that a number of bugs in the API were also fixed.  These include:
    • Numerous bug fixes to the elgg_get_*() functions.
    • Added a generic email sending function (elgg_send_email()).
    • Added ability to remove river items by ID (remove_from_river_by_id()).
    • Added a generic excerpt function (elgg_get_excerpt()).
    A full list of changes can always be found in the CHANGES.txt file.  

    If you run into problems, try asking the helpful folks at the Community Site.  If you find a bug, feel free to post it to Trac so we can fix it in the next release.
