Dev Diary: Beta 10

neptronix

Glad to see you guys are moving forward.

It's day 4 after the beta 10 kick off staff meeting. So far I have made progress on the following tasks assigned to me:

Move current static website to a Laravel app so we can extend it with some features we want in the future. Eg showing a complete team roster.
Set up demo installations, one for the current released version and one for the current unstable dev-master. These will auto reset, so we can easily confirm stuff and allow people to give both a spin in a safe environment. I structured our Digital Ocean account for these new demo installations. More info soon.
Move column user preferences to separate table. This was an older PR that required some considerate changes to work on beta 9, updated and asked for feedback from the team. https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/1467
Completed another review on the Intellectual Property transfer agreement.

I've done some work on the Frontend Framework Rewrite as well, which you can check out the progress of @ https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/1821.

@luceos Maybe implement Sentry for those demos? That way when things break you know exactly why and you can share it with the rest of the team for fixing either before the release or as a bug fix.

luceos

tankerkiller125 great idea! We already set it up on discuss; we can easily add it to both these demos as well.

PS this was done 😉 Thanks for the suggestion.

luceos With that said what is that easy way? Is it just a .env file change? Or does it require more extensive changes? I'm very interested in adding sentry to my own forum installs (I have my own Sentry install for all my deployed software)

luceos

tankerkiller125 install fof/sentry ( ❤️ @datitisev ), enable, configure to set DSN, then sit back and relax. Note; console errors aren't currently tracked. An issue exists for that.

Thanks to @datitisev who jumped into this; we've been able to push out the demo installations sooner than anticipated. A separate announcement will follow, but here are the main points:

Latest beta demo (currently 0.1.0-beta.9) https://beta.flarum.site
Latest unstable code (dev-master) https://nightly.flarum.site

You can play with Flarum! Only core extensions right now.
Mail has been completely disabled.
Some settings and user admin have been blocked from being changed.
Signing up will confirm your mail address automatically.
Demos are reset regularly, right now each night.
Signing up with an email address starting with admin or mod will grant you the permission group automatically.
Do not use a real email address to sign up.

We would love to hear your thoughts.

ChadJessen Most likely the second one, it's a bare dev-master install apart from some changes added to avoid people changing things they shouldn't and add the features luceos mentioned above.

ChadJessen

The dev-master is super fast. Do you have caching setup on it or is that just because there aren't very many posts?

ChadJessen

datitisev That is what I thought. Was just curious. Thanks for answering.

Alright folks, a post was made that diverted the discussion, and a mod has dealt with it. Let's return to the dev diary.

ChadJessen

Keep up the great work guys! You are doing an amazing job.

i've been waiting so long for stable version. Go Power Rangers! Keep up the great work!

I set up a reminder to ping me each three days for an update. Being on vacation I decided to ignore it until I got back. Here's what I have.

What I did:

Write the bylaws of and the blog item about the Foundation. Working on part two.
Patched several issues with the demos.
Released the nightly to discuss.
Fixed an issue with the user comments count being off (flarum/core1695)
Fixed CI, Travis-CI changed how MySQL was booted as a sidecar to the pipeline.

My priority right now is to move forward with the foundation, the IP transfer and overseeing the continued restructuring of our team and processes.

luceos I noticed https://nightly.flarum.site runs VERY VERY fast, is it the host or have flarum been uptimized to run even faster? Is it the Recache extension?

luceos

Tirual no optimization done. And only core extensions are installed. Feel fee to check the admin area. I see nothing in our commits that clarify this perceived speed boost from mobile. It's also a pretty simple droplet 2 cpu, 2GB memory without cloudflare really.
