Misago 0.13.0
Misago 0.13 has been released, bringing relatively hard to notice but welcome in the long run changes to ways that posts reads are tracked and handled by Misago's features. Beginning with Misago 0.13, forum's read tracker is post-accurate. This means that user mis-clicking "last" link will no longer erroneously flag all posts in thread as read. Instead, only last post will be marked as such, and all other posts will stay as unread, letting your users to keep better track of what they've read and what they've missed. This also provides more fair treatment for moderated messages, which will now show as unread to other users as they are approved by moderators.
Lastly post-level accuracy opens Misago for future improvements like marking posts as unread upon their edition or such.
Updating instructions
WARNING: Misago 0.13 includes non-reversible data migrations for read tracking feature. Those may take a while to run on your forum. Make sure you'll backup your database before updating!
To update Misago from 0.12 to 0.13 use PIP to uninstall old Misago and install new one:
pip uninstall misago
pip install misago
Then run migrate and collecstatic commands to make sure your forum's database and static files are up to date:
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collecstatic
New features

- #910 - Misago will now preserve read data for posts belonging to threads that are moved around or merged with each other.
- #912 - Thread subscriptions are now keps when threads are merged.

Bugs fixed
- #929 - Fixed showstopper on message preview API.

Bugs fixed
- #893 - Tightened the input validation in various API endpoints, which would previously crash if they received incorrectly structured data.
- #911 - Events from moderation actions are no longer accounted for when making decision if to subscribe thread on reply.
- #920 - Fixed typo in
threadslist/base.htmltemplate causing Misago to never display root-specific "forum is empty" message when no visible threads exist.
Implementation and API changes
- #907 - Removed excessive
user.lock()calls from codebase. Moved location of thread's read transaction to the utility function. - #921 - Replaced lazy ACL provides initialization occurring on first request with eager one that occurs after application models have been initialized. This should hopefully resolve the issue that some people have experienced, where sometimes ACL providers were initialized twice, likely by race condition, causing hard to debug crashes on their sites.

Misago 0.10.0
Misago 0.10 was originally planned to be feature release adding search field to forum's navbar, but it was delayed first by discovery of showstopper fixing of which I've prioritized, then cleanup of permission system's handling of closed categories and threads. Finally RL interrupted limiting amount of time I could spend on development.
Still, I'm releasing Misago 0.10 with improvements to bulk moderation actions, permission system, as well as small configurability option implemented by @musindmitriy and small improvement in loading JavaScript translations that should hopefully solve caching problems where browser would cache JavaScript translation for old language that was changed in site's configuration.

Wrapping up the update
After installing Misago 0.8 from PIP and modifying your settings.py, you should run thepython manage.py migrate to update your database and python manage.py collectstatic for your site to update your static files to their latest versions.
If you'll encounter database permission error during migration, you'll need to elevate your database's user to superuser in order for Misago's migrations to enable the hstore extension for your database. {lease see the documentation short example on how to do this.
New langauge
Misago 0.8 is first release that contains (nearly complete) translation for other language, with 98% of language strings translated for simplified chinese.

Misago 0.7
Misago 0.7 is codebase cleanup release that removes some deprecated features like the misago.datamover that enabled updates from Misago 0.5 as well as CreatePartialIndex and CreatePartialCompositeIndex migration utilities that were replaced by the PgPartialIndex in final 0.6 release.
Updating instructions
To update Misago from 0.6 to 0.7, use PIP to uninstall old Misago and install new one:
pip uninstall misago
pip install misago --pre
misago.datamover has been removed
misago.datamover entry in your settings.py INSTALLED_APPS setting is an error in Misago 0.7 and should be removed. Likewise the url(r'^', include('misago.datamover.urls')) entry in your urls.py will also error and has to be removed.
If you have updated to Misago 0.6 from Misago 0.5 and you looking to preserve redirects from old links after update to 0.7, please use the Misago 0.5 Redirects app.
CreatePartialIndex and CreatePartialCompositeIndex migration utilities have been removed
0.7 release finalizes deprecation of previous implementation of custom indexes via removal of old migration utilities as well as their migrations. Attempting the update from any of the 0.6's alphas to 0.7 and skipping the 0.6 final release on the way will lead to your database containing both old and new indexes which may be source of errors in future migrations.

Misago 0.6
Misago 0.6 has been released, taking the project from Alpha to Perpetual Beta.
This release adds open graph tags to Misago-generated markup, which makes content from Misago that's shared on social media look more consise.
Few improvements and bugfixes are also included in this release, with biggest one being update of all dependencies to their current versions, with support for Django 1.11 that's long term support release being nicest of all.
Updating instructions
Misago 0.6 bumps all dependencies to their current versions. This makes it preferable to perform its installation on fresh virtual environment.
virtualenv venv
pip install misago --pre
MISAGO_JS_CATALOG_PACKAGES has been deprecated.
Django 1.10 deprecates support for the javascript_catalog view, superseding it with the JavaScriptCatalog. Because of this Misago drops it's own misago.core.views.javascript_catalog view.
Instead, as part of migration you need to edit your site's urls.py to include new JavaScriptCatalog view.
Add following imports:
from django.utils import timezone
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
from django.views.decorators.http import last_modified
from django.views.i18n import JavaScriptCatalogDelete following import:
from misago.core.views import javascript_catalogFinally, edit line defining the view:
# Javascript translations
url(r'^django-i18n.js$', javascript_catalog, name='django-i18n'),To following:
# Javascript translations
url(
r'^django-i18n.js$',
cache_page(86400 * 2, key_prefix='misagojsi18n')(
last_modified(lambda req, **kw: timezone.now())(
JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(
packages=['misago'],
),
),
),
name='django-i18n'
),The way that Django Admin URL's were included in urlconf has changed
If you have enabled django admin in your Misago site via uncommenting it in default urls.py, you'll need to edit the line for future compatibility with Django 2.0.
Find in your urls.py:
url(r'^django-admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),And change it to:
url(r'^django-admin/', admin.site.urls),About the could not open extension control file error during database migration
If you run into an error that looks like following:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.4/extension/btree_gin.control": No such file or directory
This means you'll need to install the postgresql-contrib package that includes extensions for PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib
About the django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: permission denied to create extension "btree_gin" error during database migration
Only superusers may enable extensions in your database. To solve this issue, you may grant your database user super user privileges for duration of the installation:
# switch to postgresql user and start psql tool
sudo -u postgres psql postgres
# make your database user the superuser
alter role user_name superuser;
# after installation is complete run below query in the psql
# to remove super user privileges from your database user
alter role user_name nosuperuser;
