Hi, I'm missing something somewhere. I'm trying to download the latest stable release, but when I go to the download page all I'm finding is a link to the latest RC release. I've messed up my install so badly I had to delete my installation and start all over.

Hi,

Sorry to hear something broke

.

We're still on RC releases until we get roughly a 2 week period with only trivial bugs reported. However, the RCs are very stable, we just are setting a high bar for Composr.

Become a fan of Composr on Facebook or add me as a friend. Add me on on Mastodon. Follow me on Minds (where I am most active). Support me on Patreon

Was I helpful?

If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

I have installed the latest many times, in my experience i get three breaks for every 20 installs. Normally its actually something happening on the shared hosting server that i think breaks mine (like hitting memory limits).

The RC version IMHO is more than stable enough for most environments, i have bashed it to death and it works fine for me. All the problems i get with it are normally some error between the chair and keyboard

Thanks everyone. First let me apologize. I thought I had posted this in Deploying. I've noticed my screen reader jumps a bit from time to time in Composr. I redownloaded the latest RC release, deleted everything from my public_html directory and reuploaded it and everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks.

Great, sometimes its not bugs or anything wrong, sometimes its plain old gremlins, or what we use to call bad luck
