Hello Everyone,
Here is the latest for Theopenem.
First,
My old forum had a database corruption and everything was lost partially due to my ignorance of how Redis works. I have decided to move to this new Flarum based forum which uses a traditional database to hopefully avoid the issue again.
Second,
I have moved my VPS to a new host on IONOS which gives me twice the memory and storage at half the price as my previous provider Digital Ocean, so that's why things have been unstable over the last few days while rebuilding the server and migrating everything over, it was about time anyway, was using Centos 7 which has been EOL for quite some time, now running Rocky. The move required a new public IP, so it may take some time to get my email reputation up, be sure to check our spam folder if not receiving messages. I am still migrating a few things over so if something is down, just check back, I'm probably updating something.
Third,
I had moved all of my feature requests to a new solution called Product Board, it turns out this was way more expensive than I realized, so I'll be moving back to just using the forums. There is a 1.6.0 tag in this forum that I'll be using to communicate features I'm working on which you can vote on and respond to, you just can't create topics with that tag. Please use the feature requests tag for suggestions.
Fourth,
I have finished getting my signing cert through Microsoft and will now be able to offer signed Installers and Toec agents. The installer for Theopenem will be signed for everyone. The 1.5.7 signed installer is now available. Currently only the installer is signed if you have already installed 1.5.7 there is no benefit to installing the signed version. The Toec agent will require some type of subscription as I cannot sign this for everyone due to the cost. It will be a minimal cost and I'm still determining how I want to handle this.
Finally,
Work on Theopenem 1.6.0 is moving along nicely but still taking longer than I want. I'm hoping to have it by the end of August but the most likely scenario is September or October.
Thanks for your support.
