OpenInteract-1.50
River stage zero No dependents

Changes for version 1.50 - 2002-08-26

  • Overall:
    • Templates are now only stored in the filesystem, and browser-based template editing is back online. If you currently store templates in the filesystem you'll need to run a migration script. See docs in the 'base_template' package for more information.
    • Component handler has moved from the 'base_component' package to the main distribution. The 'base_component' package is no longer used.
    • Documentation updates: much of the docs from the 'base' package are now in HTML in the main docs.
  • Individual:
    • conf/server.ini, conf/server.perl:
      • Add new mandatory keys 'system_alias.site_template' and 'system_alias.sitetemplate' (See UPGRADE for more info)
      • Remove key 'template_info.source' as it's no longer needed
      • Change key 'system_alias.component' to 'OpenInteract::Component'. (This is MANDATORY; see UPGRADE for more info.)
    • doc/actions.html; doc/templates.html; doc/packages.html; doc/configuration.html; doc/r_contents.html; doc/error_handling.html:
      • Move documentation from 'base' package to sitewide doc directory.
    • doc/components.html:
      • Move documentation from 'base_component' package to sitewide doc directory.
    • doc/developer.html:
      • Merge changes made by Ben Avery <ben@thesite.org.uk> to bring the document up-to-date.
    • OpenInteract/Package.pm:
      • Only change the 'class' property of action configuration files if it's 'OpenInteract::Handler::Foo' rather than just 'OpenInteract::Foo'
      • In check(), include all files from 'template' that are not backups or meta files.
    • OpenInteract/Template.pm, OpenInteract/Template/Toolkit.pm
      • Removed files; these have been deprecated for a long time. Adios!
    • OpenInteract/Template/Provider.pm:
      • Ripped out all template fetching routines since this logic is now in OpenInteract::SiteTemplate (in the base_template package).
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.41 -> 1.50
    • base: 1.67 -> 1.70 base_box: 0.45 -> 1.00 base_error: 1.42 -> 1.43 base_group: 1.36 -> 1.37 base_page: 0.98 -> 1.00 base_security: 1.57 -> 1.58 base_template: 1.31 -> 2.21 base_theme: 1.34 -> 1.35 base_user: 1.57 -> 1.58 lookup: 0.20 -> 1.00 object_activity: 0.19 -> 1.00 results_manage: 0.08 -> 1.00 system_doc: 1.29 -> 1.32 classified: 1.35 -> 1.36 full_text: 1.31 -> 1.32 news: 1.39 -> 1.40
