Changes since version 2.9.1:

  1. Much, much, much faster thanks to memcached. You need to install memcached on your server for this to have any effect.
  2. Dozens of bugs fixed!

Have fun and let us know if there are any problems!

Installing/upgrading via git

The latest stable commit is tagged 2.9.2 on the master branch.

If you’ve never cloned leihs via Git, you can get a fresh copy like this:

git clone git://github.com/psy-q/leihs.git leihs
cd leihs
git checkout -b my_leihs 2.9.2

If you already have a “leihs” directory with a Git clone of leihs, you can update your version like this, inside your leihs directory.

Make sure to have a backup copy of your configuration files before starting this (config/database.yml, config/environment.rb, config/LDAP.yml). Alternatively, you could just store those files outside your leihs directory and symlink them into it, so that git mostly ignores them.

git fetch
git checkout my_leihs
git merge 2.9.2
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

This is for a production environment. If your copy of leihs is in development mode, you can leave off the RAILS_ENV=production.

Please let us know if you run into problems with these instructions. Running leihs straight off Git is a new thing, we’re happy to improve our documentation.
