Download: activeCollab 0.6, community preview (zip, 570KB)
If you are upgrading: check this post.
Few notes:
1. activeCollab versioning will start from 0.6. 80% of features are in place and it is pretty stable most of the time so I think that starting from 0.1 would not be fair (and could scare some people)
2. Here is activeCollab 0.6 community preview. Most of the reported bugs have been fixed, installer is more intelligent now (it will not let you start installation if you don't have PHP5, there is no short_open_tags problem etc). Test it on as many environments as you can so we can make it public in a day or two. I have tested it on:
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 4.1
Apache 2
PHP 5.0.4
MySQL 5.0.22
Apache 2
I had no problems with installation and script.
3. If you see that I missed to merge some of the bug fixes we were talking about on this forum in past few days please remind me to add them. I needed to merge changes with alpha package manually so I might missed something.
Enjoy and report any errors.

i got stuck at step1 with this error:

apache2
PHP/5.1.4-0.1
mySQL 5.0.22
PHP-info
edit: i succesfully installed with skipping step1 by modifing the URL and made point it to /activeCollab/install/index.php?step=2
i am still testing every feature, and will get back with feedback on this release

Only files have changed so you should:
1. Backup your old aC files
2. Rewrite old with new ones (you can keep cache/autoloader.php but you shoud take a look at how new config.php looks. it has one extra config that says to MySQL to use Unicode or not to use. If you use latin1 collation in MySQL you should set it to false).

before install / setup db. i did it after the setup, and things are still workin.
ALTER DATABASE `collab` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci

So this new installer leaves the MySQL database untouched?

For all of you who want to upgrade, please follow this routine:
1. Backup old files and data from database. Make two backups of DB data: structure + data and only data. First you'll need if something goes wrong and you need to revert back to alpha. Second you'll need to import in step 6.
2. Drop all activeCollab tables from database. Remember to backup first!
3. Upload 0.6 and rewrite old files with new ones.
4. Run the installer, same thing as the first time.
5. Select all tables and empty them. There is option in PHPMyAdmin or run TRUNCATE on all tables.
6. Import data from DB backup. Just the data, installer created the structure.
7. It shoud work. Go back to login screen.
That should do the trick. If anything goes wrong restore old files and data in database and we'll see what can be done.

Can I just upgrade via svn?
edit: OK, I did it manually this time, but it would be nice if we could have a svn repository that we could use to keep up to date with the development. This svn repository shouldn't have config.php in it.
The reason is because you could as well delete some files that are not needed. There were some files in the first download that are not here in this Community preview, so it's hard to keep pace. (eg. tests directory, etc.)
