UserSpice 4.1 Alpha 4 Released. MAJOR Update - mudmin - 05-12-2016
5/11/2016 - UserSpice 4.1 Alpha 4 - This is a MAJOR update. There is a lot going on under the hood to help deal with compatibility issues. Every server is configured differently and that's a royal pain when you're distributing a PHP application. Brian was hard at work tracking down issues in the forums and he did a ton of compatibility fixes. He painstakingly tested and debugged UserSpice in the following configurations. He went through the pain so you (and I) didn't have to. Major props.
IIS+PHP 5.6+Mysql 5.6 and up
WAMP 2.5
WAMP 3
nginx+PHP 7.0.4+Mysql 5.6 and up
XAMPP 5.6.20
MariaDB in place of Mysql in above scenarios
LAMP with Mysql 5.6
Overall, the code is cleaner and smaller. Yes. UserSpice 4.1 Alpha 4 is 2/3 smaller than Alpha 3 (and 4.0). How? We ditched Composer. No one in the forums was using it, so we got rid of the heft. We'll offer a standalone download to add it back if you want it, but now the entire package weighs in at a svelte 1.1mb down from 3.1. That's serious. The code itself is mean and lean and ready for you to test out. As always, please give us feedback and throw Brian a shout out in the forums.
