Fluent-Flarum has been released for one year and has reached 1.5k installations! Thank you all for your support!
Fluent-Flarum is preparing for the next major version update and will launch a lot of new features, so a build system similar to the Microsoft Windows Insider Program has been launched.
Stable
Push the Stable version to this channel. Any version on the main branch without beta is the Stable version. The Stable version has been verified as much as possible to ensure the least bugs.
The Stable version can get revision updates to fix minor bugs and get a small amount of UI updates.
Beta
Push the Beta version to this channel. Any version on the main branch with beta is the Beta version. The Beta version has been verified to a certain extent to ensure that there will be no major problems.
The release of the Beta version will notify the outside world and introduce new features. Accept bug feedback from forums and Github issues.
Plan to push an update once a month. Please note that due to the characteristics of composer, using composer require fluent-flarum/fluent-flarum may cause the Beta version to be installed when it is the latest version, so please be sure to specify the version number.
Dev
Push the Dev version to this channel. Any version on the mp_refresh branch without dev is the Dev version. It has been verified to a small extent to ensure that there will be no fatal problems.
Please note that due to Packagist issues, you cannot install the Dev version by specifying the version number. Therefore, if you want to install the Dev version, please install the dev-mp_refresh version in time after the Dev version is released and before the Canary version is released.
The release of the Dev version only pushes the Release to the Github mp_refresh branch, and will also introduce new features. Accept bug feedback and new feature requests from Github issues.
An update will be released every two weeks at most.
Canary
Push the Canary version to this channel. Any version on the mp_refresh branch with dev is the Canary version, always synchronized with the local code library. It has not been verified at all and may cause it to not work properly.
The release of the Canary version only pushes to the Github mp_refresh branch, and will not introduce new features or changes. Accept new feature requests from Github issues.
The update time is uncertain, but it may be very frequent.
Please use composer require fluent-flarum/fluent-flarum:dev-mp_refresh to install, and be sure to use php flarum cache:clear.
In order to ensure the convenience and safety of testing, a switch has been added to the build of channels other than Stable. If you encounter problems, just turn off the switch to immediately return to the latest Stable version.
Please note that updates released to the Beta, Dev, and Canary channels are not based on any stable version.
These versions may lack the features and experiences contained in the Stable version, and some new features and experiences may never be released, because we are constantly developing, trying different concepts and getting feedback. Features may change, delete, or replace over time, and will never be released outside of Fluent theme preview experience members. Some of these features and experiences may appear in future versions of the Fluent theme.
Today we have released the first Dev version with some exciting changes, welcome to have a try if you interested in it!
Thank you!
