Hello everyone, I hope you all had a good Christmas (or holiday if that's not your thing!)
I am just about to build and release 2.18 but I thought this time I'd try a little something new and present the 2.18 build HERE first for you early testers to try it before I make it live to all (probably tomorrow or Saturday (29th)).
That way I can hopefully avoid an embarrassing mistake. I took the decision to build 2.18 and not call it 2.18 beta 19 as those mistakes usually creep in when I change something, so unless such a mistake HAS happened, these files will become the final release files (no changes at all) published for all.
NOTE: There have been NO code changes since 2.18 Beta 18. Only version numbers and a few updated language templates!
As such, there WILL NOT be an update notification for this as it is not beta 19 and I don't want to make 2.18 update available to all until one or two of you have confirmed it is all good (so please confirm here!). Also note that the post-install web page will still say it is a BETA/TEST install because 2.18 does not exist in the database version tables yet (this is also as intended).
If this idea works, I may do this each time. If not, I'll put it down to experience!
EDIT: The
normal beta download link should get you the pre-release 2.18 installation (which will become the 2.18 release)
Anyone who has provided translations for 2.18 beta's please check that the correct files are included.
