StatusNet 0.9.6

For best compatibility with client software and site federation, and a lot of bug fixes, it is highly recommended that all public sites upgrade to the new version.

Download
The software is available at http://status.net/statusnet-0.9.6.tar.gz

the tgz is a bit crowded in statusnet-0.9.6/ - to many files! which belong somewhere else

Upgrade
Users of version 0.9.0 or later should be able to upgrade in-place. The core database schema hasn't changed. However, it is a good idea to run scripts/checkschema.php after the in-place upgrade.

TwitterBridge plugin users upgrading from 0.9.4 or earlier should run the initialize_notice_to_status.php script in plugins/TwitterBridge/scripts/ to get improved integration for existing tweets in the StatusNet database. New tweets should work fine without running that script.

Changes
Notable changes this version:


 * Site moderators can now delete groups.
 * New themes: clean, shiny, mnml, victorian
 * New YammerImport plugin allows site admins to import non-private profiles and message from an authenticated Yammer site.
 * New experimental plugins: AnonFavorites, SlicedFavorites, GroupFavorited, ForceGroup, ShareNotice
 * OAuth upgraded to 1.0a
 * Localization updates now include plugins, thanks to translatewiki.net!
 * SSL link generation should be more consistent; alternate SSL URLs can be set in the admin UI for more parts of the system.
 * Experimental backupuser.php, restoreuser.php command-line scripts to dump/restore a user's complete activity stream. Can be used to transfer accounts manually between sites, or to save a backup before deleting.
 * Unicode fixes for OStatus notices
 * Header metadata on notice pages to aid in manual reposting on Facebook
 * Lots of little fixes...
