+Version 1.8.0 (Jackie)
+(September 5th, 2011 from git://github.com/Elgg/Elgg.git)
+
+ Notes:
+ Elgg 1.8 contains the most changes in Elgg since the transition from Elgg
+ 0.9 to Elgg 1.0. The core team tried to make the transition as smooth as
+ possible, but in the interest of following standards and simplifying the
+ development process for core and third party developers, we have made
+ changes that will require updating plugins. We believe these changes
+ will help Elgg development be easier for everyone.
+
+ It is unreasonable and unhelpful to list the full details of all changes in
+ this file. Instead, we will list the high level, overarching changes to
+ systems. If you are interested in the specifics, Elgg 1.8's source code is
+ highly documented and serves as a good guide and the git commit log can
+ provide excruciating details of what has changed between 1.7 and 1.8.
+
+ Please post your feedback, questions, and comments to the community site
+ at http://community.elgg.org. As always, thank you for using Elgg!
+
+ --The Elgg Core Development Team
+
+ A tip about updating plugins:
+ It's not difficult to update 1.7 plugins for 1.8. There is a detailed
+ document outlining this process on the wiki:
+ http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Updating_plugins_for_Elgg_1.8
+
+ The basic process is:
+ 1. Clean up the plugin to make sure it conforms to coding standards,
+ official structure, and best practices.
+ 2. Update any uses of deprecated functions. Functions deprecated in 1.7 will
+ produce visible notices in 1.8!
+ 3. Use the new manifest format.
+ 4. Use the new menu functions.
+ 5. Use the new JS features.
+ 6. Update the views to use core CSS helper functions and classes instead of
+ writing your own.
+
+ The documentation directory and the wiki has more information.
+
+ User-visible changes:
+ * New default theme.
+ * New installation.
+ * Separate and updated admin interface.
+ * Updated plugin themes.
+
+ Generic API changes:
+ * Improved the markup and CSS.
+ * Restructured and simplified the views layouts.
+ * Added a new menu system.
+ * Added new CSS and JS file registration functions.
+ * Added a JS engine.
+ * Added a breadcrumb system.
+ * Added a sticky forms system.
+
+ New plugins:
+ * Dashboard - The activity stream is now the default index page. A 1.7-style
+ dashboard is provided through the dashboard plugin.
+ * Developers Plugins - Developer tools.
+ * Likes - Allows users to "like" other users' content.
+ * oAuth API - A generic, reusable oAuth library.
+ * Tag Cloud - A widget-based tag cloud generator.
+ * Twitter API - A generic Twitter library that allows signin with Twitter
+ and pushing content to tweets. Replaces twitter_service.
+
+ Deprecated plugins:
+ * captcha - Captchas have long since stopped being useful as a deterrent
+ against spam.
+ * crontrigger - Real cron should be used.
+ * default_widgets - This functionality is now part of core.
+ * friends - This functionality is now part of core.
+ * riverdashboard - Displaying the river (activity stream) is default in
+ core. The original dashboard can be restored by the new Dashboard plugin.
+ * twitter_service - Replaced by Twitter API.
+
+ Elgg 1.8.0.1 was released immediately after 1.8.0 to correct a problem in
+ installation.
