wbb Update: WoltLab Suite 5.5.16 / 5.4.32

[Guest Alexander Ebert]

We have just released new versions of our products:

 

• WoltLab Suite 5.5.16
  
• WoltLab Suite 5.4.32
  

 

Stability releases (third part of the version number, also known as “patch releases”) aim to solve existing problems in the current version. Like every stability release, they do not introduce new features. It is strongly recommended to apply these updates.

 

[HEADING=1]How to Apply Updates[/HEADING]

 

Open your Administration Control Panel and navigate to “Configuration → Packages → List Packages”. Please click on the button “Search for Updates” located in the right corner above the package list.

 

[HEADING=1]Experimental Upgrade to WoltLab Suite 6.0[/HEADING]

 

Starting with WoltLab Suite 5.5.16, an experimental upgrade to WoltLab Suite 6.0 is possible. Regardless of careful preparation and internal testing, the upgrade may still contain bugs and even the currently available version 6.0.0 RC 1 still contains minor bugs. We do not recommend running test versions in production environments and currently provide the experimental upgrade for testing purposes only.

 

The experimental upgrade to WoltLab Suite 6.0 must be explicitly enabled via the package list. The required functionality is only visible when maintenance mode is active. If the system requirements are met, the experimental upgrade to WoltLab Suite 6.0 can be enabled. The procedure is explained in the official manual, please take explicit care not to omit or skip any steps: https://manual.woltlab.com/en/updates/#up…-suite-55-to-60
