What's new in 2.5?

[Russell]

Hey all,

I've been gone for a while, and I've just come back to start a new site. I was at 2.4 last time, and I see 2.5 is out maybe?

Either way, I wanted to find out what the new changes are, but I've looked on the home page, in the blog, on the documentation, in the news forum and still I can't find anything that looks like a release notice for 2.5, with all the "what's new" stuff. Maybe it's in the actually download, but I'd rather see first before downloading.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but shouldn't there be some kind of pinned/link announcement & feature set somewhere?

Russell.

Hi Russell,

 

Maybe because there's so much that's new (both small and large).

 

I'd sift through the blog again http://processwire.com/blog/ (which you mentioned) as well as http://www.flamingruby.com/blog/

Ryan is working on a very comprehensive changelog for 2.5 which will be published on the blog hopefully sometime next week when 2.5 becomes official. The current soft release of 2.5 will be superseded by 2.5.2 as the official stable version.

OK fair enough. I just think something should be up somewhere obvious to find out what the current state of play is, instead of having to hunt & peck for it.
