Hi,

We have recently tested OMP 1.1.1-1 stable release and looking forward for new releases with enhanced features such as search functionality, better UI design.
Are there are planning/due dates for stable releases of OMP 1.2 or OJS 3.0?

Thanks
Lilit

Hi @lasatryal,

We’re hoping to release OMP 1.2 at the end of the 1st quarter (1-2 months from now), and OJS 3.0 is tentatively scheduled for the early summer.

Hi @cecile,

We’ll either release it this month or we’ll be very close. We’re currently finishing the last bugs and updating translations.

I just tried to run the upgrade and got this:
php upgrade.php patch
Code version: 1.1.1.1
Database version: 1.1.1.1
Latest version: 1.2.0.0
A newer version is available:
tag: omp-1_2_0-0
date: 2016-04-11
info: http://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/
package: http://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/download/omp-1.2.0.tar.gz
patch: N/A
No applicable patch available

Does the upgrade.php not work for this upgrade?

Thanks,
Edward

Hi @EdwardDavid,

We have deprecated the patch-based upgrade method; working with git is much more reliable and flexible. You can still generate patches between versions from github.com.

Hi @asmecher,
So if I go to https://github.com/pkp/omp/compare/omp-stable-1_1_1...omp-stable-1_2_0.diff will this give me the whole omp patch file?
As well as https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/compare/omp-stable-1_1_1...omp-stable-1_2_0.diff for the lib patch file?

Just checking before I download and apply the patches.

Still getting familiar with GitHub.

Thanks,
Edward

Depending on what patches you may have already applied manually (if any), the tags of omp-1-1-1-0 and omp-1-2-0-0 may be better than the stable branches.

For example:

However, if you don’t maintain local modifications to the core files, directly downloading the new source via the “package” link and following the “Full Package” upgrade instructions is the best way to go.

Hi @knjigor,
