And we’d love your help testing it!
Umbraco 19 is now available as a release candidate . Between now and the final release on Thursday 10th December, the CMS team will only be fixing issues found in testing or reported by you, so this is when your feedback counts most.
Could you try upgrading a site locally? Back up the database first, then see how you get on. You can go straight from 17 to 19, and you’ll need .NET 11 installed.
Package authors, could you test your packages? Search has moved into core, and the backoffice now uses cookie-based login (so getLatestToken() and friends are gone). If your package touches either, Kenn Jacobsen’s migration post is a lovely place to start.
All the details are in Andy Butland’s post: Umbraco 19 Release Candidate
The RC is on NuGet, and any issues can go on the CMS tracker (with the version number, please). Smooth upgrades are worth hearing about too, so do reply below!
H5YR in advance, folks
