[Krang-general] ANNOUNCE: Krang 2.002

[Aaron D. <aa...@da...>]

We're very pleased to announce that Krang v2.002 is now available.


Notable changes in this release:

  * Added new script krang_upload_templates to upload a directory of
    templates into a Krang instance.

  * Added new script krang_upload_media. This works similarly to
    krang_upload_templates. Using this script you can maintain a media/
    directory in your add-on which contains all site-specific media. This is
    particularly useful for development, when developing templates and site
    design. The script krang_createdb now automatically loads any media found
    in your add-on directory.

  * Added admin scheduler 'admin_scheduler' permissioning bit so only
    admin users will see this feature in the Admin section of the left nav
    bar.

  * Upgraded to HTML::Template v2.8 and HTML::Template::Expr v0.05

  * Krang::XML::Validator now looks in the schema/ directories of installed
    Krang addons to find .xsd files describing objects to be imported or
    exported. This furthers the support for non-standard objects within Krang.

  * Fixed Krang::CGI::Help to lookup help files in an addon's htdocs/help/
    directory, allowing addons to provide their own help content.

  * Fixed a flaw in Krang::Handler that allowed access to any file via the
    root handler. Now only image files and the two Krang CSS files are
    accessable without logging-in.

  * Support for running Krang under SSL.

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system
designed for large-scale magazine-style websites.  It is a 100% Perl
application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN
modules.


Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing
environment for magazine editors, as well as a complete template
development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl
programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the
story editor and add code to drive the templates to build
output. Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and
other new features.  Krang easily handles large data sets and can
manage multiple websites in a single installation.
