@Danp

xogurunoob

@Danp
ok i tried it on ubuntu 16.04 lts and it worked
when it got to the Updated version v4.16.0

@Danp

I have a quick question for you

If i want to test out the latest version 5 for xo-web
can i just do git checkout v5.x and then run your update script?

Will that work?
will like to follow the version 5 for xo-web and see how its looking

thanks man

Danp

@xogurunoob Yes, that is how you would switch to their development branch and check out the new interface. It's been a while since I tried it myself, so please report back and let us know how it goes...

Danp

Just tried this myself. XO 5 interface appears to be very fast when compared to the 4.x interface.

As a new user to all this stuff, this thread has me a little confused.

I am on 4.14.1.

Can I update to the latest stable version? Or is the installer currently broken, and I have to stay on my version for now.

Staying on the stable branch (which the installer does for you) is the recommended solution. I generally check once a week or two for XO and see if anything breaks as I upgrade.

The XO software has dependencies that get broken from time to time, which is completely out of @olivier hands to control.

Didn't he say above it is currently broken?

That's what I mean ... will updating today break things?

Also, if I want to check out the new (next?) release, can I just move back to the previous one?

Danp

@BRRABill Yes, he did state that it was broken. I believe the fix has been applied to the next-release branch of xo-server. However, I used the script within the last few days and it worked fine.

Yes, you can switch back and forth between the branches. You just need to rebuild each time.

how does one rebuild after switching to the dev version 5 branch?

Is "next release" the next MAJOR release, such as from 4 to 5? Or is the next release candidate, which like he said will be stable next week?

Is that a typical Linux nomenclature? Or does it vary from program to program?

next-release (with regards to XO) is what is up for release for the following week. (or as they get migrated to stable).

I'm not sure if its a Linux nomenclature or just a translation from Olivier or what.

So they are releasing the new version next week? Version 5, I mean?

Because that is what next-release currently gives you, right?

The next-release time table is subject to Olivier and his team, so it could be next week, or it could be in two weeks. Though they try and stick to the weekly updates IIRC.

But people on this thread were talking about version 5, so isn't that what next-release got them? How else would they have gotten it?

I'm going to try it in a little bit. Just always trying to expand the old knowledge base.

No. v5.x is the new interface that they have been implementing over the past few months. Next-release is still based on the older 4.x interface.
