Release Lagotto 3.7 · lagotto/lagotto

Lagotto 3.7 was released on October 28, 2014 with the following features and bug fixes:

simplified configuration: use ENV variables and consolidate configuration for Rails, Capistrano, Chef and Vagrant into a single .env file. See below for more information (#146)
raise alert on the admin status page if not running the latest Lagotto version. This feature checks for the latest release in the Lagotto Github repo using pessimistic version constraints, e.g. "~> 3.6.3" (#155)
facelift of the admin panel layout (#156)
adapted to changes in the Facebook API (#90). Lagotto now automatically
fetches the authentication token from a given app_key and app_secret. Since the release of the v2.1 API in August 2014 the link_stat API endpoint is depreciated. New user accounts have to use the v2.1 API and only get the total count of Facebook activity, whereas users will older API keys can still use the link_stat API and get the number of shares, comments and likes in addition to the total count by adding the following link_stat URL in the Facebook configuration:

https://graph.facebook.com/fql?access_token=%{access_token}&q=select url, share_count, like_count, comment_count, click_count, total_count from link_stat where url = '%{query_url}'

don't cache in Rails development mode (#157)
many small bug fixes (#147, #148, #149, #150, #151, #152, #153, #154)
