Following is a list of fixes in this release:
A complete changelog is available for more details about the changes and fixes implemented in this 5.0.1 release. Please view our demo of v5 and explore v5 if you haven’t yet!
As always we highly encourage all users to do a complete backup of both files and database before performing this upgrade. Please have the backup performed by your host or a developer if you’re not comfortable with performing it yourself. Always check with third party experts for compatibility with any products you use before upgrading.
Important: If you are on version 4.9.4p1 or below, you will need to follow the special steps in the upgrading documents linked below before upgrading and apply the patch mentioned.
You can download your copy of version 5.0.1 from your client dashboard. For clients not seeing the download, a small fee is required in order to unlock this version.
Mobile app update needs to be downloaded from Apple and Google stores for those that have them installed on their mobile devices.
Fresh installs should follow our installation tutorial or you can order an installation ticket and our team will get it installed in no time! To upgrade from a previous version to 5.0.1, please view our upgrade documentation.
If you find any issues with this release, please let us know by filing a bug report in our Bug Tracker. We’d also like to encourage you to stay connected with the community.
With Great Appreciation, The SocialEngine Team
Thanks a lot !
However, the file to download is a Zip archive and not a .TAR
It's normal ?
Thanks in advance
The file to download for the fresh install is a zip. The upgrade file is a tar. Can you please check that you downloaded the correct file?
if i want to upgrade V5.0.0 ---> 5.0.1, i must to download SocialEngine PHP Upgrade (4.X - 5.0.1) ?
Thanks in advance
Yes it is the same upgrade procedure as normal. You always download the upgrade file to upgrade as seen in the upgrading tutorial.
Ok thanks a lot Donna.
Donna will this new version support the default legacy theme?
The legacy themes are not supported, including Insignia which we retired. You would need to test on a development site and maybe tweak it if needed.
Hi all/Donna
Just wanted to validate that to unlock/purchase access to the SE PHP 5.0.1 costs $149? (think that price I saw)
Thanks Gary
Hi Gary! Yes that is the v5 access fee. You'll get access to the free mobile apps too (found in the store).
Help! I just upgraded to version 5.0.1, and when I logged on to my site this morning, I got this message that I've never gotten before:
I'm assuming it has something to do with the new version, but I would really like visitors to the site NOT to have to validate their IP address before browsing my website.
Could someone please provide instructions about how to deactivate this security setting?
Many thanks in advance!
Rebecca
You should post things like that in a new thread next time please. We don't have any IP validation tool. Perhaps it is cloudflare if you use that? If you have recaptcha enabled, you'll want to disable it as there is a conflict with recaptcha and mootools (in a lot of different scripts such as ours, Joomla, WordPress) and we are working on a fix.
Here's a post for how to do it via the database in case you can't get into your admin https://community.socialengine.com/forums/topic/2277/google-re-capthca-issues/view/post_id/12767
Donna, thank you for your help - and sorry to have posted in the wrong thread. I don't use CloudFlare (that I know of), but I submitted a ticket to my hosting service who did the upgrade to see if they have any suggestions. Thanks for the heads-up about disabling the CAPTCHA. - Rebecca
No problem! I hope the tips help. We are working on a fix for recaptcha that won't break the rest of the site due to mootools.
