Upcoming Sitellite 4.0.14 Bug Fixes - Posted: September 15, 2004 - 9:23 PM

Quote and reply

Howdy folks,

There has been some growing curiosity as to where we are at and what the status of our next release is, what the bugs are, when they will be fixed, etc. Please see below for a list of the Sitellite 4.0.14 bug fix updates. It should be released within 1-2 months.

I just wanted to let you all know that our recent silence on the forum is due to the summer being a slow period naturally with holidays and the like, but also that we have had a more than a few projects for big clients come up and have been very busy doing client work, which of course being paying work it naturally takes precedence ;) When things get back to normal we have every intention of posting as much as we are able. We continue to encourage the community, which now has over 15,000 downloads, 409 members and just under 1000 posts, to continue to assist each other and post to the forum as much as possible. It is after all a community forum and Sitellite enthusiasts are encouraged to take part. After all, it is YOUR community. If you don't take part, who will?

Sitellite keeps getting better and better thanks to the feedback from our online community! Please keep the code snippets, fixes, suggestions and translations coming. We will post as much as we can in the next few months to coincide with the (finally) stable release in 4.0.15. Also we will be re-implementing the public CVS very soon.

Here are the newest fixes / features from Lux in 4.0.14:

- Added template, page_below, and page_alias properties to the news app.
- Added a new feature called tag binding to XT, and changed saf.Misc.Documentto use it instead, eliminating several copy & paste tags from
templates.
- Made the $saveas value in sitellite/util/pdfmaker false by default.
- Fixed newline issue affecting some documents with non-standard newline characters.
- Added id="sitellite-menu-current" to the current page's list item in saf.GUI.MenuItem
- Added error message display on PHPShorthand errors in XTE.
- Added auto-detection of section root to sitellite/nav/section box.
- Added defaulting of head_title and nav_title to normal title field.
- Added getBoxAccess() and getFormAccess() to saf.Loader, and fixed some other methods. Also provided aliases loader_box_get_access() and
loader_form_get_access().
- Added $page->addStyle() and page_add_style() to saf.Misc.Document.
- Fixed /js/rpc.js and saf.Misc.RPC to handle multi-line and HTML content in send and return values.
- Added default teams/all=rw in saf.Session.Manager to the user add form.
- If weight is unspecified for collections, they are now sorted
secondarily
in alphabetical order.
- Added function is_assoc() to saf.Functions.
- Added adminRoles() method and session_admin_roles() function to
saf.Session.ACL.
- Forms can now be submitted by submit buttons from inside template widgets, but only when those buttons are listed in the template widget's submitButtons property.
- Fixed the saf.Misc.Search docs to refer to the template set modes.php files.
- Upgraded PHPUnit to 1.0.1.
- Silenced the error message when the 'Not Installed' tools fails to connect to simian.ca
- Added collection config settings order_by and sorting_order for specifying the default of both in the browse view.
- Fixed an error on the deleted items screen when viewing a collection without versioning.
- Default scheduler-app call now displays help instructions.
- Changed the default writer role to restrict him from writing to the queue (a way to bypass their inability to approve documents themselves).
- Fixed a bug that let you set a new password without verifying it in the user manager.
- Removed sitellite_tab_list table from install-mysql.sql, since it is not in use for anything.
- Fixed a mistake in the docs/REQUIREMENTS file.
- Added workflow triggers to the default add/edit forms, as well as for the Web Pages, Web Files, Sidebars, and News Stories collections (ie. all of the default collections).
- Fixed a bug in saf.Database.Generic's single() method -- thanks to Shane for the bug report.
- Added menu structure caching to the content server, which should improve the speed of sites with large numbers of pages.

And also in SiteSearch 0.9.5:

- Moved importing filters to a global location. This was causing the descriptions to disappear.
- Added script, running.sh, that can be called by cron to check the status of the SiteSearch daemon, and auto-restart it if necessary.
- Fixed missing methods in the new IXR 2.0 package.

I also have about a dozen other fixes, as well as fixes from kozmoz and Greg Ferguson to apply, and then 4.0.14 will be out.

I've also fixed some server issues (finally) causing a noticeable speed increase in sitellite.org (back to a tolerable speed, we're still switching servers ASAP), and I'm almost finished evaluating bug trackers (it's down to Mantis and Eventum -- Eventum just released an
update which may fix some things I couldn't stand in it...) for Sitellite.org, and hopefully I can get CVS access back up on Sitellite.org as well and/or move it to Sourceforge.net instead.

-------------------------

We hope to be releasing this soon… now back to more bug fixing…

Thumbs up! :-)

Great to hear that there are really things going on behind the scenes. Can't wait to see the new release.

Both the website speed improvement and the missing bug tracker are very welcome.
