Preparing for 1.1-dev

Okay, it is about time to have 1.1 up and running live here for some more deep testing before the release of the beta.

The general usage has been tested a tiny bit, so the basics should work.
I tested the upgrade script and it seems to work (TBH I didn't check every single detail, but in general I fixed anything I found broken).

So, considering that about 80% of the process looks good, it is "safe" to assume we can break the site and try the upgrade.

The full upgrade will require a little downtime. In the best case about 10 minutes, in the worst not more than a couple of hours (trying a couple of times, and in the extreme case reverting back to 1.0).
In order to maximize the mess, I will do the upgrade Saturday afternoon, around 2 pm CEST (UTC +2) unless I have unforeseen problems (I have just been informed I may be AFK, but it's not sure). If this opportunity slips, it will be "as soon as I have two hours", so likely Saturday at about 9 pm or Sunday 2 pm (always  CEST, UTC +2).

A couple of warnings/reminders:
1) it's a dev version, it is expected to be broken,
2) it's a dev version, the db schema may still change,
3) it's a dev version, upgrades from other dev versions are not supported.

The first has another implication: during this testing phase there may be data loss even on this site. The worst case, as usual, is the reverting back to 1.0.x with a database backup taken just before the upgrade.

Well, fingers crossed!  8)

Footer says 1.0.6, so you are already missing 1.0.7...? Perhaps I missed some thread about it myself, idk.

YAY!

Looks like it is somehow working.

Everybody!!
Please note that to get the notifications (former "mentions") you have to go to:
profile
 modify profile
* notifications
the direct link is:
http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?action=profile;area=notification
and set your preferences to: "notify when you are @mentioned", "Notify when one of your messages is liked" and "Notify when someone adds you as buddy", then save.

Something is indeed broken, if you find bugs do not report them here, but have a look if someone else already reported it in the Bug Reports, and if not feel free to open a new topic.

Guys, we have 1.1 installed, have fun!

Why is the image attached as inline unreadable ? It is more of " thumbnail size ".

Would be nice to use a " loading " GIF than current " loading..." in text.

Which part of "do not use this topic to report bugs" slipped through? :P ;)
