[size=12][color=#dd2222][b]What's New Respect To Latest Stable Release[/b][/color][/size] [list][*][b]PHP[/b]: increased compatibility with recent PHP versions [*][b]Plugins System[/b]: improved with new functions and features [*][b]New Classes[/b]: to improve coding and modding [*][b]Templates[/b]: few edits to templates functions and parsing, prepared for HTML 5 [*][b]Thanks System[/b]: has been removed in favour of [b]Likes System[/b] which supports AJAX and offers more flexibility. [*][b]Album and Links[/b]: have been removed as core components and created as plugin. [*][b]Cookies And Privacy Policy[/b]: due to new web rules, these two new sections have been created. [*][b]Many smaller updates and features... install this beta version to enjoy them all![/b][/list] [color=#880000][b]Old templates[/b]: please note that templates designed for Icy Phoenix 2.0.0.86 (or older) won't work with this version. Update versions for all my styles are available here: [url=http://www.icyphoenix.com/styles/]Icy Phoenix Styles. Also you may want to keep monitored styles on GIT: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_styles]Icy Phoenix Styles @ GIT.[/color] [color=#006600][b]Translations[/b]: please note that lang packs for Icy Phoenix 2.0.0.86 won't work with this version. Lang packs need to be updated before you can use them on your site. I will update all lang files in download section as soon as translators will send me their latest release. You can find latest development translations here: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_langs]Icy Phoenix Languages @ GIT.[/color] [color=#880088][b]Customizations And Mods[/b]: please note that this version has many core code differences from the previous one, so it is really unlikely that old customizations and mods will work on this beta release. You can test current development versions of plugins if you wish: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_plugins]Icy Phoenix Plugins @ GIT.[/color] [size=12][color=#dd22dd][b]Requirements[/b][/color][/size] Before trying to install Icy Phoenix make sure you have the following [b]STRICTLY NEEDED[/b] requirements: [list][*]At least 20 MB of free space in the folder you would like to install the package [*]Web server with PHP (5.2 or higher) installed and running (works best on Linux + Apache) [*]MySQL (5 or higher) database with at least 5MB of free space (of course the space needed depends on how big your site will be... 5MB is enough for a basic empty setup) [*]Ability to set CHMOD permissions[/list] These other requirements (even if not strictly needed) are suggested for optimal performance of Icy Phoenix: [list][*]Webserver with .htaccess capability [*]Apache Rewrite Mod installed and running [*]GD Libraries (at least 2.0.28) installed and running [*]Register Globals set to OFF[/list] [size=12][color=#224488][b]Fresh Installation[/b][/color][/size] [list=1][*]Unpack Icy Phoenix package to one folder on your HD.
