Hi everyone!

We have just published the first release candidate for Mahara 1.9.

This is a call for testing. If you want to make sure that Mahar 1.9 works well on your site, please help us out by testing this first release candidate:

   https://launchpad.net/mahara/+milestone/1.9rc1

New features for the release candidate are listed on Launchpad with the "nominatedfeature" tag.

We've also done lots of bug fixing is this release cycle. The full list of changes that have been made for 1.9 ca be found by clicking here. If any of the targeted bugs affects your users, this is an opportunity for you to make sure they are fixed properly.

If you find any bugs, please report them on Launchpad so they can be fixed before the 1.9.0 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 1.9.0 release.

Cheers,

The 1.9 Release Managers

PS: Despite being on April 1, this particular announcement is not an April Fool's Day joke.
