OneBody 0.9.0 (and getting ready for 1.0)

I'm happy to announce that OneBody 0.9.0 is now available for general consumption. This release represents several months of major revamps of the interface, improvements to the internals, lots of refinements, and the psychological jump right to the edge of 1.0.

I hope to make this (0.9.x) a relatively short series, with 1.0 a few weeks away. That is, if there are no major bugs found and everyone is happy with how the interface looks and acts (which most people seem to be enjoying so far).

Enough talk, here are the details:

  • Upgrade to Rails 2.3.4
  • New "stream" metaphor on home, profile, and group pages.
  • Feed import: Facebook, Twitter, etc.
  • Improved visual cues for certain interface items.
  • Improved group editing interface.
  • New Site Tour feature; shown upon first login.
  • Link to YouVersion and eBible on verse page.
  • Allow admins to remove themselves from albums and pictures.
  • Add option to albums to be public or profile-only.
  • Set the first uploaded pic in an album to the cover pic.
  • Add feed for stream page.
  • Improved wall posting feedback.
  • Improved site selection from console.
  • Improved email header reading/writing.
  • Safeguard to prevent script/inbox from running more than one process at the same time.
  • Added Yahoo map to group page.

Make sure you run the database migrations when upgrading to this release. Also, since we rolled up the migrations yet again, you'll need to upgrade to 0.8.1 (if you haven't already) and run the migrations there before you can upgrade to 0.9.0.

As always, if you need help, shoot an email to the Google Group and we'll be happy to give you a hand.
