Ed Metavus Version 1.0.1 – Released October 24, 2022 ADDED • Added new “insert with caption” buttons (“Insert-R-C” and “Insert-L-C”), available when editing items with Image fields (e.g. Blog entries). • Provide an example configuration file for running Metavus with an nginx web server. • Add the account activation link to the user editing page (for unactivated users), to make it easier to send to users if needed. • Collage plugin: Added “Order Persistence Period” configuration setting, that determines how frequently the order of images changes. • NEW PLUGIN: NavEditor — Provides simple editing of the main navigation options in the default interface. CHANGED • WYSIWYG editing (e.g. for Paragraph fields) now uses a whitelist for allowed CSS attributes, rather than a blacklist. • When editing users, select the default user interface for users who do not currently have a user interface set. • Default interface: Focus is now automatically switched to search box when “Search” is clicked. • Default interface: Footer revamped to be more responsive. • Default interface: Improved responsiveness in main navigation and on most forms. • Default interface: Set <pre> elements to wrap within the content area to prevent poorly-formatted content from breaking the layout. • Blog plugin: Changed teaser break marker to explicit ‘–‘ instead of double blank line. • Blog plugin: Whitespace is now explicitly disallowed in clean URLs. • Blog plugin: Do not display “Notify Subscribers” buttons for blogs that are not configured for sending notifications. • Collage plugin: Revised image selection to prevent adjacent repeated images. FIXED • Fixed issue that caused the port number to be omitted on some internal links when running on a non-standard port. • Fixed manual rebuilding of recommender database. • Fixed issue with exception occurring when viewing a folder with bad parameter values in the URL. • Change file length column in database (Files:FileLength) to BIGINT UNSIGNED to support very large files. • Revise record editing to not to use lookbehind assertions for compatibility with Safari. • Fixed escaping of single quotes in alt text for image “Insert” buttons. • Fix a bug wrapping long lines in HTML messages that produced a mix of “\r\n” and “\r” line endings when “\r\n” was requested. • Fixed error that occurred due to undefined variable when exporting controlled vocabularies from within the metadata field editor. • Fixed account request to make sure that default values for the User schema are used in all cases. • Mailer plugin: Fixed background email sending to use correct object type, instead of always using Record. • Mailer plugin: Fix bug that caused an exception when when a template that expected a resource is used in a context where no resource is available. • UrlChecker plugin: Fix bug that prevented data for deleted records from being cleaned out. -- Edward Almasy (He/Him) <[log in to unmask]> Director • Internet Scout Research Group Computer Sciences Dept • U of Wisconsin - Madison 608-262-6606 • 1210 W Dayton St • Madison WI 53706
