Changes for version 1.39 - 2002-03-04

  • Individual:
    • OpenInteract.pm:
      • Fix typo in setup_theme() when checking to see whether we should cache the session object. Thanks to Andreas Nolte for pointing out.
    • OpenInteract/SPOPS.pm:
      • For objects using security: add get_security_scopes() to override the method in SPOPS::Secure so we can return the user and groups without hitting the database. Big thanks to Andreas Nolte for pointing this out -- this can potentially be a huge savings on database hits.
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.38 -> 1.39
    • base: 1.63 -> 1.63 base_box: 0.43 -> 0.44 base_component: 1.30 -> 1.30 base_error: 1.39 -> 1.39 base_group: 1.32 -> 1.32 base_page: 0.89 -> 0.90 base_security: 1.54 -> 1.54 base_template: 1.27 -> 1.27 base_theme: 1.29 -> 1.29 base_user: 1.49 -> 1.49 lookup: 0.20 -> 0.20 object_activity: 0.11 -> 0.11 results_manage: 0.07 -> 0.07 system_doc: 1.29 -> 1.29 classified: 1.32 -> 1.32 full_text: 1.30 -> 1.30 news: 1.33 -> 1.33
