Hello,
I've tried 1.1rc2 a little. Here is the feedback.
I've installed 1.1rc2 from scratch with sample content via SSH on a shared hosting (1&1).
I've seen the same "Search is not properly cleaning input params ... line 1500" warning in the top left of the site as previously reported by others.
I've seen an "install additional modules" clic after installation wizard completion. I'm not sure it is a good thing to throw newcomers straight to the module manager. I think they should use basic functions first and discover (additional) modules after.
I've made the install wih Javascript disabled and it has worked like a charm. The site is up and running OK. Well done !
I may have missed something : after step 5 of the install wizard and step 13 of the ssh install doc in the wiki, I can't find any other choice than "none" for the favorite WYSIWYG editor in user preferences. Hey, I thought TinyMCE was the default in 1.1. In extensions->modules, there is no WYSIWYG module (no Tiny, no FCK, no other). How is it there is no WYSIWYG editor with a default install ? What have I missed ? I'm the newbie today
BTW, the requirements of doc/INSTALL.txt are not up to date to those in the wiki.
Hope this helps.
Pierre M.
