Ed Metavus Version 1.1.0 – Released June 8, 2023 ADDED • Added ability to configure settings on a per-interface basis, via new Interface Configuration page. • Added interface configuration setting to customize the title of the Featured Items section on the Home page. • Added list of upcoming events to Home page in default interface. (Requires CalendarEvents plugin.) • Added option for downloading original image file to full image page. • mvus utility: New command “export schema” that exports a specified schema definition to an XML file. • AutoScreenshot plugin: Added a “Take Now” button that can be used to immediately capture a screenshot rather than waiting for a background task to run. • Developer plugin: Add the ability to profile memory usage. • Google Analytics plugin: Add support for GA4 properties. • UrlChecker plugin: Added a column to results page showing which records are publicly-visible. • NEW PLUGIN: CalendarFeed — Provides a URL to a feed of events in iCalendar format that match a set of search parameters. • NEW PLUGIN: CustomCSS — Allows CSS customizations to be added from the site interface, without adding or editing files. • NEW PLUGIN: FeaturedItems — Generate a list of featured items of a specific type using search parameters, a sorting field, and an optional grouping field. CHANGED • Merged Advanced System Configuration into System Configuration. • Revamped Administration page to break plugin administration menu items out into their own sections • Revise UI to consistently use <button> tags where appropriate rather than a mixture of <button> and <a> tags. • Add mv-image-extralarge and mv-image-huge sizes. • Revised GoTo page to return a 404 on invalid record IDs rather than going to a fallback redirect. • When purging sample data, sample Collection records are now also removed. • AutoScreenshot plugin: Increased resolution of screenshots and change them to use a 1:1 aspect ratio. • AutoScreenshot plugin: Revised the “Firefox” screenshot method to use the –headless –screenshot options that Firefox now provides rather than running Firefox inside an Xvfb instance. • Blog plugin: Revised blog summaries so that those which include an image will display captions if the post includes a caption but omit them otherwise. • Pages plugin: Revised handling of tabbed content to allow content after the end of the tabs and also multiple sets of tabs on a page. • Mailer plugin: Improved error handling and logging. FIXED • Fixed misuse of DTSTAMP property in iCalendar, so that it now uses the the event’s most recent time of modification, rather than the date and time of the creation of the iCalendar document. • Fixed a bug in RecordEditingUI where vocabularies with exactly the number of terms configured as the incremental search threshold for their metadata field could not be edited. • Fixed bug that rendered image insertion buttons nonfunctional in the rich text editor if the cursor was inside a heading or a list. • Fixed bug in change set editor (used by the BatchEdit plugin and Rules plugin) that could prevent list of included fields from being editable. • Blog plugin: Fixed bug that caused image captions to appear in notification emails for new posts. • Folders plugin: Improved error handling on folder viewing page and fixed issue with clean URL generation that was causing exceptions when invalid folder IDs were supplied. • OAIPMHServer plugin: Use CDATA to escape field descriptions so that the generated XML will remain valid even when the descriptions have embedded HTML. • MailingList plugin: Fixed bug that could prevent subscribing or unsubscribing when the mailing list name included capital letters. -- 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
