This file contains description of changes in each Sharetribe release. It's good to read before updating from earlier versions of Sharetribe, as there might be major changes that the updater should notice, especially when first two numbers in the version numbering are increased.
When updating, always run the following commands to update gem set and database structure:
- bundle install
- rake RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate
- check this file for changes between your old version and the one you are updating, and do the necessary manual operations if needed
- if running on local instance (localhost), you need to precompile assets using "rake assets:precompile" once update is done
Refactoring transaction database structure. Booking possible for rental transactions. Preparations for Paypal integrations.

- New enhanced user interface with grid view, bigger images and cleaner look
- added new translations
- better map bubbles
- bug fixes
Small improvements that enhance stability and speed.
Lot of fixes in different places. Biggest change is probably that categories are now customizable and some pages can be edited directly. Also more assets are stored to Amazon S3 by default.
There was a bit too long gap between the releases, but if you get trouble with this update, don't hesitate to contact us, preferably at: https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/issues
Small improvements and bug fixes. Most important for installations of open source versions is that the earlier version complained about missing ss-pika font pack files, but those dependencies are now better handled.
This was a big change in the whole user interface to make Sharetribe UI responsive for different screensizes. There were challenges that delayed the publishing of the stable open source version and that's why so many changes are packed in one update. In the database side there are also major changes, e.g. changing categories to be dynamic and customizable by community.
