Any existing email addresses with spaces in them will cause problems e.g. when the cron scripts encounter them. You can fix them manually, or by running `rake temp:clean_up_emails_with_spaces` from `lib/tasks/temp.rake` +* [List of issues on github](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues?milestone=30&state=closed) + +## Upgrade notes +* Check out this version and run `rails-post-deploy` as usual. +* Add a DONATION_URL to your config/general.yml file if you want to use your own donation URL. + +# Version 0.11 +## Highlighted features +* Upgrade of the Rails framework to version 3.1.12 (Henare Degan, Matthew Landauer, Mark Longair, Louise Crow) + +## Upgrade notes +* Manually remove vendor/rails-locales +* Themes created for 0.9 and below should be updated to work with Rails 3. See `THEMES-UPGRADE.md` for notes on upgrading your theme. You will need to manually remove your old theme directory before running `rails-post-deploy`. +* The `config/httpd.conf` has moved to `config/httpd.conf-example`, as it may need customization before deploying. It also has a new line setting RackEnv to production - copy this to your config/httpd.conf file. +* Alaveteli now uses the [mail gem](https://github.com/mikel/mail) rather than [tmail](https://github.com/mikel/tmail) to handle mail. If you're using Exim as your MTA, you'll need to use the setting `extract_addresses_remove_arguments = false` in your Exim conf (see INSTALL-exim4.md for details). This means it won't remove addresses specified with -t on command line from the mail recipient list. + # Version 0.9 ## Highlighted features * Consistent and more informative variable interpolation syntax in translated phrases. All of these phrases will now appear in the form "There are {{count}} people following this request", where some were previously in the form "There are %s people following this request".
