Hi to all Cobalt Subscribers,

Based on some latest conversation with Cobalt development team, it has been noticed that, due to the speed of new Joomla version availability, the Cobalt development team, headed by Sergey, do not have real time to concentrate on both development, bug correction, forum support etc.

Hence, we have came to the conclusion that it will help very much to have a testing environment where new Joomla version will be updated as well as latest stable version of Cobalt so that, we, as subscribers, can participate to the testing environment and report any bug or compatibility issue that we might came across.

We invite all subscribers who will be interested to participate and be part of this testing team to reply and follow this topic so that we can all be informed about latest news regarding this idea, all opinions and suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks,

Tomy

I'll anonce demo site update to new Joomla version here and anyone can go there and test Cobalt already with demo content in it. You can completely destroy everything there. It has automatic restore function.

Sergey You can completely destroy everything there. It has automatic restore function.

Maybe a good advice to have 2 demos? 1 for Cobalt feature and pack demos. Targeted to new users and potential customers. Imagine new users view a totally messed-up demo page?! Maybe bad for MintJoomla/Cobalt reputation.

And 2nd demo as "playground". A "Beta/compatibility" test site, which is independent from demo1.

Good idea. But lets start with playing with demo and see how it goes. If there are really some people who will intensively test and it will turn demo into mess, then I'll setup separate server.

Anyway to restor demo site to initial state is only one button click.

Hi, Joomla 3.2.4 has been released, can we safely upgrade or is there any need to install the latest Cobalt version in a testing environment to see if there is any bug or non-compatible issues before we upgrade?
