Hello!

We have just published the first release candidate for Mahara 1.7.

This is a call for testing. If you want to make sure that Mahara 1.7 works well on your site, please help us out by testing this first release candidate:

  https://launchpad.net/mahara/+milestone/1.7rc1

New features for the release candidate are listed on Launchpad with the "nominatedfeatures" tag:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bugs?field.tag=nominatedfeature&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.milestone%3Alist=53366

We have also done lots of bug fixing in this cycle. The full list of changes for 1.7 can be found under the 1.7 milestone on Launchpad:

  https://launchpad.net/mahara/+milestone/1.7.0

If any of the targeted bugs affected your users, this is an opportunity for you to make sure they are fixed properly.

If you do not have anywhere to test it, we have a demo site available that you can use:

  http://master.dev.mahara.org

We have completed development and bug fixing on Mahara 1.7, and we are giving you the opportunity to report last minute bugs to be fixed before the final release:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+filebug

If important bugs are found within the next week we may produce a second release candidate. Otherwise this release candidate will become the final release.

Cheers,
The 1.7 Release Managers
