NodeBB v3.0.0-rc.2 — the second release candidate

julian

Hi all!

If you've been browsing this forum in the past two weeks, you'll have noticed a couple of design changes.

Thanks for @baris and @vladstudio for working quite hard over the past few weeks to put the final polish on the Harmony theme

N.B. While this technically goes against the spirit of the "release candidate" being reserved for bug fixes, we were a little behind with the timeline and wanted to get these changes in for the upcoming v3.0.0.

Upgrade steps

If you wish to update to RC2, please run the following commands after having backed up your database:

./nodebb stop   # or equivalent command to stop your NodeBB
git fetch
git checkout develop
git reset --hard v3.0.0-rc.2
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start  # or equiv.

Bugs

If you encounter any bugs, please continue to report them to us by posting on the issue tracker, on the v3.0.0 bug report thread, or by replying to this topic.

@julian doesn't seem to work

I get the below

sudonix.dev@vps:~/nodebb$ git reset --hard origin/v3.0.0-rc.2
fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/v3.0.0-rc.2': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

@phenomlab Sorry about that, I think you don't need the origin/ part, so I've removed it from the command.

@julian that works, thanks. Upgrading now

EDIT - successfully upgraded to rc2

Nice. Seems nodebb 3.0 is near
Sadly I dont see any change on ios devices and ultra big layout from the betas keeps happening

.line-clamp-2 needs to be update with:
max-height: 2.5em

actually, they all need to be updated to multiples of 1.25 em, rather than multiples of 1.5em

Do you have an estimated release date for V3? I'm planning to set up a new community website using NodeBB. Would it be better to install the V3 beta or wait for the official release?

julian

@Adam-C I'd install the v3 RC, but I'm biased

Thank you! Will do.

@sweetp I had to make a change to this since it broke the max-height calculation on chat dropdowns. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/fa633ec7ca287f4150f14c87209c7cb5cfb78f69

In some places we need 1.5 which is the $line-height-base and in some places we need 1.25 which is line-height-sm. I added a new class line-clamp-sm-[1-6]. So instead of hardcoding the max-height to 1.25em * $lines it will be calculated by using $line-height * $lines.

I pushed this change to this forum so let me know if you notice any issues.

It looks fine on my end,
I updated my test forum, and all looks well there too.
Ill push it to my production forum now

We haven't released a new RC but there are some small fixes in harmony and core since the last rc. If you want to grab those you can update core and run upgrade. On develop branch.

./nodebb stop
git pull
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start
