Dear DeepaMehta friends,

the release of DM 4.8.4 is imminent and I like ask you to test it, and check 
compatibility with your plugins.

DM 4.8.4 is a maintenance release which fixes a number of (crucial) bugs that 
came up while the (collaborative) real-world use of various (both, public and 
private) DM 4.8.3 installations. So, the overall topic of the upcoming DM 4.8.4 
release is "robustness". There are also some improvements, though.

See the preliminary Release Notes what's new/changes in (upcoming) DM 4.8.4:
https://trac.deepamehta.de/wiki/ReleaseNotes
For details about every single change see the descriptions in the linked 
tickets.

The 2 fixes that are the most complex ones, and that requires to be tested most 
are these:

        Non-shared type extensions
        https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1021

        Deleting a workspace
        https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/898

Regarding plugin compatibility: DM 4.8.4 comes with only one BREAKING CHANGE, 
although it is a minor one and will possibly not compromise compatibility of 
existing plugins:

You can test the current DM 4.8.4 SNAPSHOT online at our nightly-build demo 
installation:
http://demo.deepamehta.de:8083/de.deepamehta.webclient
Login as "admin" without a password.
There you can also create new user accounts (via Create menu) in order to test 
the multi-user and access control features (as the above mentioned #1021).

Or you can download the current DM 4.8.4 SNAPSHOT and test it on your own 
computer:

Thanks goes to the users and testers that helped recognizing the shortcomings 
of DM 4.8.3: Ingo Rau, Tuomo Tammenpää, Jürgen Neumann, Robert Schuster, Arne 
Remeke, and Malte Reißig.

Cheers,
Jörg
