Achievo 1.2.0 release notes - April 25, 2006
These are the release notes for Achievo 1.2.0.
The changes in this release are listed below, as well as any issues that you should be aware of when upgrading to this release.
We would like to thank everybody who contributed to this release.
Installation Notes
To install Achievo, you need a webserver with PHP support, and a database server (MySQL is fully supported, PostgreSQL and Oracle support is present but may not be fully functional). Unzip the Achievo archive somewhere in your webservers' documentroot, and read the installation instructions (in the doc/INSTALL file after you unzipped Achievo, or online.
Upgrade Notes
When upgrading from a previous version of Achievo, a database patch is necessary. The Achievo setup.php script can take care of this. After upgrading the software, go to the setup.php script in your Achievo directory, using your browser. Login as 'Administrator', with the password configured in the config.inc.php file, and follow the instructions on screen. More detailed upgrade instructions can be found in the UPGRADE file in the doc/ directory inside the Achievo tar.gz file
Note: If you use any selfmade or external modules, its possible that they don't work for a 100%. This is because this Achievo release is based on the latest ATK5.
