We, the dotProject team, are happy to announce the immediate availability of dotProject 2.1.3. This release is primarily a security and bug fix release, but it also marks the first successful release since we've switched to Git.

If you are currently running dotProject, we highly recommend that you upgrade to this release. Please report any issues that you find at our bug tracking site.

The latest dotProject release is available on both GitHub and SourceForge.

I was pretty happy to see a new release surfacing. Given the version number, nothing new to be expected, mainly fixes. No problem here, just surprised that issue 2547 was not fixed even where a fix was provided by the community.
Is there a specific reason why the performance killer was not fixed?

Comment from: theideaman [Member]

@Cass, we're planning on a follow-up release that will contain that fix. We had a set list of issues for this release. We will be incorporating speed fixes into a release soon--we want them too! :)

Hi,

Nice to see the new release.

My concern is, whether the task notification through is fixed or not?

I have the old version working perfectly, except this major issue.

Awaiting your response

Hey, congratulations and thanks for the release. It works great. I just had some problems with the mbstring php library coming with my centos 4 distribution.

If you face the same problem: http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP fixed my problem.

Is it just me, but I can't find the documentation on how to upgrade to 2.1.3, can someone help

Comment from: Fred [Visitor] · http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nmp/sonet/

Just one Q: is this release now PHP 5.3 compliant? I spent a couple of hours fruitlessly trying to install and run dP on localhost with XAMPP until I read the fora and found that the 'problem' was caused by PHP 5.3

12/12/09 @ 02:23

Comment from: theideaman [Member]

@Neil Thomas, the link for upgrading is a couple comments above yours as well as below:
http://docs.dotproject.net/index.php?title=Installing_dotProject#Upgrading_an_Existing_System

There's nothing unique to the process for this release, but do be aware of the PHP 5.2 need for this release.

@Fred, it's not PHP 5.3 compatible yet, but we hope to have that out soon. The PEAR Date library--which we current depend on--is the remaining hold up.

Hi,

I can't wait for the new version. I just downloaded version 2.1.3. Trying it out with a few software team projects.

Oh, will we be able to Migrate to 3.x? Just curious. :)

09/02/10 @ 17:37

Comment from: theideaman [Member]

Paul, glad you're liking 2.1.3. We do have plans to make it easily upgradable to 3.x.

What is the latest PHP version suported?
I am using 5.2.11 now and is working and in 5.3.1 is not working?
Any ideea?

15/02/10 @ 11:14

Comment from: theideaman [Member]

@Daniel,

Currently, only PHP 5.2 is supported. We're working on both a back-port to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.3 compatibility.

Hi, thanks for dotProject. I used my HostGator Fantastico to install the version before this one. Is there a way to manually upgrade or do I have to wait on Fantastico>

Thanks

Comment from: theideaman [Member]

@azhar, that's a great question for the forums: http://forums.dotproject.net/

@Max, you'll have to wait on Fantastico, I'm afraid.
