We are pleased to announce that version 3.0.1 for GeoClassifieds, GeoAuctions, and GeoClassAuctions, for Enterprise, Premier, and Basic editions is now available. This is the first release that uses a common software code base for all products and editions. For Enterprise editions, this is a maintenance release that fixes several bugs found in 3.0.0 (See release notes for more info). For Premier and Basic, this is a major update from previous versions (Read below for more info)

Refer to this post, for more info on what the new release number means.

Who Should Update

Code modifications: As always, if you have any PHP code modifications, to update you will need to re-apply those changes after you update, and custom code modifications are not supported in the helpdesk system. Keep this in mind when deciding whether you want to update or not.

High traffic sites For high traffic sites, it is recommended to first test the update on a test location, so that the update on the live site is as seamless as possible.

If currently using 3.0.0 RC1-RC4 or 3.0.0 (final), it is highly recommended to update to 3.0.1.

If Enterprise and currently using any of these versions:
2.0.0b,
2.0.1b,
2.0.2b,
2.0.6b-2.0.10b
This marks the end of the "beta" releases, so 3.0.1 is recommended update for anyone using a beta version of the software. Be aware though, that there are extra steps that must be taken to update the beta versions to 3.0.1. If you are not sure whether or not you want to update, read the release notes (linked below), if you see any new features or bugs fixed that you want for your site, then do the update. Just be sure to run the post update instructions (see the user manual), since a few things have changed.

If running any other version, we only recommend the update if you want to take advantage of new feature not in your current version, for current Basic and Premier edition products, this is a totally new software platform, so it is not a simple update.

Troubleshooting
  • Troubleshooting will be located in the tools available in the support section of our site, the main resource being the updates user manual. Currently there are no troubleshooting tips specifically for this release.


Known Issues:
  • There have been a few problems found in the premier and basic editions of the software for 3.0.1. All known issues are fixed by the software patch, available for download in the client area. So far, only Premier and Basic editions are affected by the bugs, there are no known issues for Enterprise editions.

    Once we are satisfied that all issues are resolved, we will be making a new maintenence release, 3.0.2, to address the issues fixed in the patch.
