Alfresco: upgrade from 3.4c to 3.4d to start Thursday, August 11

Hi,

The upgrade from Alfresco 3.4c to 3.4d will be started on Thursday,
August 11. It will probably only take a few hours, but I will mail
back with news during that day. Obviously, while the upgrade is in
progress, the Alfresco site will not be accessible.

So, more news soon. :wink:

An initial upgrade of just the core code happened on Friday, August 12.

But this has not resolved the key problem of inability to use the
Share interface for browsing folders containing an accented character
in the name.

In addition, we currently have an issue with the Share interface in
that it is not currently possible to add new files or content. This is
much more likely to be a configuration issue (possibly mail
configuration) introduced recently.

I'm working on troubleshooting these problems, and there will be more
upgrade work done on Monday 15 and Tuesday 16.

I'll be posting back with more news about that.

Meanwhile, all work be done successfully via the Explorer interface at
http://documentation.libreoffice.org

Hi :slight_smile:
Nicely done David, thanks :slight_smile: Sorry it didn't all work out but i'm sure you will
get it done soon enough. I don't think it's hurting anyone as it is at the
moment so don't worry too much! :slight_smile:

Tom :slight_smile:

Hi,

The upgrade to 3.4d is complete.

The good news is that all went went well, and our data is safe and sound.

The bad news is that it still didn't resolve the issue of the
inability, under the Share interface
(http://alfresco.libreoffice.org), to browse folder names with an
accented character in their name. This problem currently eludes me,
and I'll be working on troubleshooting that with Jeff Potts,
Alfresco's Chief Community Officer.

However, that doesn't affect the work of the English docs team, and
the Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese teams can still successfully do
any work they like via the Explorer interface at
http://documentation.libreoffice.org, which will not be retired before
the above problem is solved.

Aside from the aforementioned troubleshooting, our next task will be
to get a system of user groups, permissions and workflow rules in
place.

I don't expect to be able to do anything myself about this before the
weekend, but Jeremy might possibly be doing some.

@Tom: thanks for the kind words. :wink:
