I'm thrilled to announce the release of Bricolage-Devel 1.7.5
"Ashland", the
second release candidate for Bricolage 1.8.0. This version of the
open-source
content management system addresses all of the bugs discovered since the
release of the first release candidate, 1.7.4, and adds several new
features
and numerous improvements. The changes since 1.7.4 include:
New Features
* Added bric_template_dump to contrib. This script uses the
Bricolage
SOAP server to export all of the templates in a single output
channel. [David]
* Added "SFTP_MOVER_CIPHER" bricolage.conf directive to tune the
SFTP
mover (if enabled) to the best cipher for good performance on
the
wire. [David]
Improvements
* Added site and output channel support to bric_template_diff and
bric_template_patch in contrib. [David]
* When cloning a story, you can now select a new primary output
channel, in addition to category, slug, cover date, etc.
Suggested
by Serge Sozonoff. [David]
* Spell checking now works in HTMLArea. [Eric Sellers]
* When creating a new story without a slug, Bricolage will now
autogenerate a slug based on the title. [Jo„o Pedro]
* Added single underscore parameters to the "list()" methods of
the
Story, Media, and Template classes to complement those that
have the
awful double underscores. [David]
* Made SOAP modules more tolerant of lack of sites in 1.6. [Scott]
* The collection API now checks newly added members when deleting
members. This ensures that newly added objects won't be saved
to the
database if they are deleted, first. [David]
* Turned off browser autocompletion in the Server and User
profiles.
This prevents some browsers (e.g., Camino) from filling in your
username and password where it doesn't belong. [David]
* When the "Filter by Site Context" preference is enabled, it no
longer filters documents when searching for documents to alias.
Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]
* The "Cancel Checkout" button in the Story, Media, and Template
profiles now tries to do the right thing instead of just
leaving the
asset on a desk in workfow every time. If the asset was just
created
by the user, it will be deleted. If it was just recalled from
the
library by the user, it will be removed from workflow and
shelved in
the library. Otherwise, clicking the "Cancel Checkout" button
will
leave the asset in workflow. Requested by Sara Wood, Rachel
Murray,
and others. [David]
"make clone" now provides the current date and time for the
default
name for the cloned package. Suggested by Marshall Roch. [David]
Bug Fixes
* Bricolage no longer tries to display thumbnails for related
stories,
since stories don't have thumbnails and would therefore create
an
error. [Eric Sellers]
* Text::Levenshtein is again correctly loaded as an optional
module,
not a required module. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]
* Bric::Util::Burner's "preview_another()" method now actually
works.
Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for the spot. [David]
* Fixed clone interface for IE users. Spotted by Serge Sozonoff.
[Scott]
* Some of the supported values for the "Order" parameter to the
Story,
Media, and Template classes, such as "category_uri", did not
work
before. Now they do. [David]
* Changing categories on a template no longer creates
Frankensteinian
template paths. [David]
* Added constant "HAS_MULTISITE" to the Bric base classe so that
all
classes properly declare themselves for UI search results. [Jo„o
Pedro]
* Story and Media SOAP calls now correctly use the element's key
name
to identify the element. [Jo„o Pedro]
* Story, Media, and Template creation via SOAP now correctly look
up
the Category by URI and site ID. [Jo„o Pedro & David]
* The Template SOAP interface now suports the "site" parameter to
"list_ids()". [David]
* The Story, Template, and Media SOAP "list_ids()" intefaces now
properly look up categories, output channels, and workflows
with the
"site" paremeter, if there is one. [David]
* The "LOAD_LANGUGES" and "LOAD_CHAR_SETS" directives are now
space
delimited, to better match other bricolage.conf options. [David]
* Aliased media documents now correctly point to the file name
for the
aliased media document. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]
* Thanks to the improvements to the collection class, cloning
stories
and putting them into new output channels to ensure that they
have
unique URIs now works properly. Reported by Serge Sozonoff.
[David]
* The publish status and version is once again properly set for
media
when they are published. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]
* The group manager now properly displays the names of the sites
that
member objects are associated with if the class of the objects
being
managed knows that its objects are associated with sites.
Reported
by Ho Yin Au. [David]
* The list of output channels to add to a media or story document
in
the media and story profiles now includes only those output
channels
associated with the site that the story or media document is in.
[David]
* Thanks to the fix to 1.6.13 that prevents deleted groups from
affecting permissions, there is no longer any need to provide a
checkbox to get access to deleted groups in the permissions
interface. So it has been removed. [David]
