Davis Hi, sorry for asking, why you say frequently? Every how much time they make update?

I'm quite new and the reason why i'm asking that is:
- If i use flarum in production, when flarum team release a new version, i will just need to backup the day before i decide to update, right? Or i'm missing something?

By the way, i read that flarum's team don't recommend to use it in production but, in the worst case the most important thing will be the users and discussion tables i guess.. :S

      Amer That works too. If you backup before you change anything (including installing extensions), you should be ok. Although, the anti-spam in flarum isn't foolproof, so if a spambot gets to your server it could muddy everything up and a database rollback might be nice.

        a) Install Flarum on localhost by using XAMP, WAMP. I'm using AMMPS.
        b) Trying to install, config any thing on your locahost (extention, url, logo....)
        c) Upload to your sharing hosting.

        Note: for installing extension:
        - download and put composer.phar on your hosting home folder(for me is public_html)
        - install extention: replace "composer require [extention]" by "php composer.phar require [extension]"

        Brs,

            Are there any updates as to when the next update (and the installer) will be ready? ?

              Thomasss it's been delayed. The original estimate for beta 6 was a few weeks. Toby has been busy with school and we aren't going to make that estimate.

              As for the installer, that's a ways away.

                That said, we have decided to rather focus on a more or less regular release schedule instead of trying to fit everything we planned into a release. (In other words, focus on schedule rather than on scope.)

                That means, there will be a new release soon, but it won't contain everything we had originally planned.

                  Franz Hi Franz, thank you for your work! ? I have a noob question: this new version will be a Beta and still not for product, right? ?

                      Amer Correct. Next version released will be Beta 6. There's also a Beta 7 planned at this time.

                          When will the new version be released?

                          As per Github milestone, only 40 % of beta 6 is complete.
