There have been loads of changes in Joomla 1.0.8, especially with security in mind. This is not an official answer, but if there will be a new version to address current issues, it will be called Joomla 1.0.9. There is no information available at the moment about the how and when.

Any future release in teh 1.0.x codebase will be 1.0.9

However, it is unlikely that such a release will be released for another 2 weeks - we keep stability releases to a 2->4 week schedule.


But I am examining/considering if there are ways to make specific fixes to specific files available to the community if necessary.

I have code like so:

Code:
<a href="http://foo/bar.png">
{mosimage}
</a>


and 1.0.8 exihibits a bug in Safari.

The image caption has width and alignment properties set. The resulting bug is that the caption is not shown (below the image in a gray box normally), but all future article text has some attributes of the
of the image caption but not all.

Is this a limitation in my template, Safari, Joomla, all of the above? Where should I best start looking to fix it?

Finally, is there a better way to get a similar behavior to the above code?

Thanks,

  -k.

Hello

After upgrading to Joomla 1.0.8 from 1.0.7 there is no way to logout from the administration Interface. The following message is shown, after active "logout" on the admin interface :

Code:
Warning: mosMainFrame::initSessionAdmin(logout.php) [function.initSessionAdmin]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vitasana/www_test/includes/joomla.php on line 703

Fatal error: mosMainFrame::initSessionAdmin() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'logout.php' (include_path='/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php5/PEAR') in /home/vitasana/www_test/includes/joomla.php on line 703


best regards, relume

You need to make sure that your joomla.php has been properly replaced with the 1.0.8 version.

This error indicates that for some reason the joomla.php on your server is still the old version and not the 1.0.8 version.

Hello

Thank you for your response. I have the same problem in 4 independent sites. The version of the joomla.php file on all updated sites is "* @version $Id: joomla.php 2599 2006-02-24 07:49:49Z stingrey $" and this is identical to the file contained in the original "Joomla_1.0.7_to_1.0.8-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz" package. So the problem should be elsewhere

best regards, relume

Try ensuring the version of logout.php is correct for 1.0.8

Hi, the recommended fix for the RSS Feed bug ("You are not authorized to view this page.") did not fix the problem. Recently upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.0.8. I did what Tonie recommended--Syndicate module was/is published. Syndicate component security is set to "No". Still cannot view the content item pages for Feed items. Help!

Just when I thought my upgrade went perfect... hahaha
I have a different rss problem (well I don't know they may be related). I have some Japanese UTF-8 newsfeeds coming in, in J1.07 I had no problems viewing them, now garbage text.
Any ideas?
If it helps here is a syndication
http://bulknews.net/rss/rdf.cgi?KtaiWatch

Any ideas?  I am guessing it's another call to the htmlspecialchars function in rss.php I tried simply stripping them out, but no dice
  :P


Other than that... WOW THE SPEED BOOST!!!

Have you taken a look at this thread? Unfortunately, this is a known problem.

I think I may have a bit of a different problem, though probably related.
I am using mamblefish for an English/Japanese UTF-8 site, and I am actually able to get RSS feeds.
In short.
In Mamblefish English Language when I change my charset to UTF-8 I can view UTF-8 Japanese news feeds
in mamblefish Japanese language also UTF-8 charset I can not view UTF-8 Japanese news feeds

http://www.hi-marks.com/index.php?optio ... &Itemid=75

(the language selections are off to the left).

Something is amiss with the image caption coding.  I am using both IE and Firefox.  Once I upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.0.8 all my captions in {mosimage} pictures disappeared.  In IE, the text of the article realigned itself to the width of the picture and occupied the same space on the screen.  Ouch.
I noticed that pictures without a caption were not affected and started to fiddle with the caption parameters.  I found that by changing the caption alignment from "none" to one of the other options like "left" or "center", the caption came back in both browsers. 

Continuing problem with the grey box being aligned slightly to the right--but that has been like that since I started with Joomla and figured that it would be only a matter of time before it was picked up in a future release.

Apart from that I have not had a problem with 1.0.8.

I noticed that the images were missing from the Joomla main site late yesterday but they've been fixed somehow.

just wanted to say that this official information thread about things discovered in the latest release and how to fix it is great news. Please ensure that you do that again, when releasing future versions :-)

It's just nice to be able to find solutions to known bugs in just one place.

Thanks again.

Hi, Just a quick followup to my problem above, ("recommended RSS feed fix didn't work). I went back down to version 1.0.7 and everything works. Clearly, 1.0.8 is not stable... Still, keep up the good work.

Everytime I try to add a component item or a menu item I get prompted to download index2.ph and can't seem to find a way around it

If anyone know how this can be solved please let me know

I was wondering if there was a consolidated thread for J1.08 RSS problems. It seems like there are several problems surrounding RSS in J1.08, some that are correctable, some that are still being worked on. It may also be helpful in trying to determine the root problem/problems if all the symptoms are in one place. Plus it may cut down on the RSS J1.08 thread count.
;)

Well my solution to my RSS feed and creating rss feeds was to copy all of the RSS related info from J1.07 over the top of my J1.08, and change the feedcreater encoding to UTF-8.
I can create Japanese newsfeeds, recieve Japanese newsfeeds, and I got back the newsfeeds that reported nothing.
Should I be worried about compatibility? I haven't gotten any errors. I know this isn't a long term fix, but for the short term its pretty easy.

Hello,

After searching the forums for the last couple days, I think there is a bug in the 1.0.8 login besides the username/redirect issues.  I think something is still buggy in the cookie handling.  I cannot login to my site at all from the front-end, in any browser.  There are a few threads about different versions of this issue:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg247852

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg247605

Also, my search module wasn't working either.  I had to add the live site echo tag to the action url with a slash.  I read another thread were both the search and the login weren't working.

Please help... :'(

Thank you so much anyone!
Jen

Clicking on any link on my site results in the following error after upgrading from 1.0.5:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-sys/php-fastcgi//index.php on this server.

You may need to create an index.html page or enable the directory browsing by creating an .htaccess file containing "Options +Indexes".


Help!
