New features include :

• users can ask to join a closed group
• new config settings in the admin menu (work in progress)
• admin get notified when a new group is created
• lots of UI polishing
• lots of bug fixes in the invite system. It means closed groups are now really usable

This new version boast quite some new features and bug fixes since 0.4.

Features :

• social login (facebook, twitter, github, google) - see env.example
• better English translations thanks to new contributors, thank you !
• Spanish translations thanks to new contributors, thank you !
• activity feed per group, per user, per instance
• statistics per group, per instance : get on overview on the usage of your installation
• more tags support
• better looking notification emails
• allow to mention @users in comments, reference f: files and d: discussions (work in progress)
• mentioned users get an email
• autologin of users from email notifications : when you receive a notification email, clicking a button will automagically logs you in

Technical :

• update to Laravel 5.4 (remove bootstrap/cache/compiled.php after updating
• corrected policies for closed groups : no more information leakage from closed groups
• testing of email (notifications)
• autologin of users from email notifications. This has security implication, please comment on the idea
• use of bootstrap scss and laravel mix : bootstrap variables can be tweaked

Upgrade guide

• The standard upgrade procedure should be followed see https://github.com/philippejadin/agorakit/wiki/Updating-an-existing-installation
• After that, remove this file : bootstrap/cache/compiled.php (not needed anymore in more recent versions of laravel)

This is our best release so far!

• a usable (really) file repository for groups
• overall better user interface
• as always battle tested on real installations
• rolling release

This is the recommended version to use, based on master. If you feel unadventurous with the rolling release model, use 0.2 instead.

This is a stable release that has been used for a few weeks without trouble.

Tradeof, it's not as pretty as current :-)

While we are working on new features, you'd better stick to this release and wait for an upgrade to master (latest). The next release, 0.2, will feature private groups and additional bug fixes.
