0.5.3 Is Out ( CHANGELOG )
-
It should probably be a manual process. Rather than it fetching the latest version on github and marking it as out of date, the NodeBB guys should ideally specify the latest stable manually, ignoring the dev versions, then when 0.5.3 turns stable, then say it's the latest version. Would avoid the "the acp told me to upgrade and all I got was this Err in console"

In fact.

This creates doubts. -
@Master-Antonio Right, I've looked into it, 0.5.3 is on the stable branch.
git checkout v0.5.x
git pull
./nodebb upgradeThere's no strict changelogs. You can look at the recently closed fixes here(select closed, then filter by milestone 0.5.3) which should tell you what's been fixed since 0.5.2.

It would definitely cause confusion especially since ACP shows the new version. Hopefully the devs can fix it so that it only verify against the stable branch instead of pulling the version from the development one.
It would appear it does, it looks at the package.json file of the v0.5.x, here, master reports 0.5.3-dev, as it should.
So, from what I can work out, the version numbers are on the stable branch, any version number with -dev on the end is from the master branch.
-
So 0.5.3 is out but without any announcement? How confusing. Maybe there should be an official place to announce this stuff.

@scottalanmiller maybe an official sticky post or nodebb site annoucement/alert

Exactly

I think it will be better to update in the nodebb blog about new version referring to the fixes and new features. Other than github, its always better to keep a change log inside this official forum, like wordpress, discourse and all. It will help new users a lot.
-
Oh boy, you guys pounced all over v0.5.3
Yes, it is out, and no, we usually don't publish it as a blog post. This came hot on the heels of 0.5.2, so there are not too many updates and changes, but I'll be publishing a changelog shortly.
As for the milestone, I'm closing it now and all of the unclosed issues have been pushed back to 0.6.0.
Yes, it is stable, and if you do find a showstopper, report it to us and we'll backport fixes until it is.

Yes, that would be much better.

@Master-Antonio, we all start somewhere. Questions are great because they help you learn.
The best way I've found to learn a new platform is to just set up a test environment and explore every option and capability that the admin panel offers. Find out what you like and then make changes accordingly.
