[Phpwiki-talk] Ready for 1.3.8 ?

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

Are we ready for the intermediate 1.3.8 release?

The only issues are longstanding minor problems with serial dumps on 
windows only, but all other show stoppers has been been fixed to my 
knowledge.

I leave PagePerm's as it is now. You can change it internally, but the 
interface has to be improved, and is not tested enough. This should work 
for 1.4.0

I wrote a ReleaseNote, we still have to change the src to disable DEBUG 
and the version number.

Steve, if you make the release,
please change the version to 1.3.8, disable DEBUG, and tag the sources.

To be done for 1.4.0:
* improve WikiAdminSetAcl, test PagePerms.
* implement paging for long lists:
     requires ->_backend->get_num_pages(),
     and enable the limit support in PageList
     just display prev + next buttons
* fix minor dumping problems.
* use lib/removepage for WikiAdminRemove
* check the sf.net patches and bug submssions.


ReleaseNote for 1.3.8:

This is the first release with the new WikiUser class and
page permissions. Full page permission support will be enabled
in the upcoming 1.4.0 release.

New Features:
* The long-awaited WikiUserNew class,
   a OOP rewrite of the marginally enabled auth code, which does:

   * optional external user authentification against databases,
     LDAP, IMAP and Files, in spirit to libnss and linux PAM.
     See doc/README.phpwiki-auth
   * optionally read and store user preferences in a database. (not
     in cookies or the users homepage)

* New PagePerm class, Solaris/Windows-style ACL for stricter
   permissions per page. Translates original permissions
   to default ACL's. (cannot be managed yet, => 1.4.0)
* Minor Pear DB update from Pear.
* PageList sortable by pagename, mtime and hits.
   Working against paging support for longer lists (limit arg).
   New layout for such pagelists (grid-style)
* New WikiAdmin plugins to administrate selectable pages
   ("Page Explorer"), for Rename, Search & Replace.
* New other plugins:
   UpLoad: Basic UpLoad support by a special Upload: interwiki map
     by NathanGass <ga...@io...>, ReiniUrban <ru...@x-...> and
     qubit <rt...@da...>
   IncludeSiteMap: A combination of IncludePage and SiteMap
   RichTable: Allow rich formatting in table cells, See RichTablePlugin
   by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe
* Basic Japanese language support (no pgsrc yet),
   by Tadashi Jokagi <web...@el...>
* PhpWiki as PostNuke module improved, by Jason Potkanski (electrawn)
* Allow inlining of images from a InterWiki url, for Upload support
      * [Upload:my_image.gif] inlines the image,
      * Upload:my_image.gif shows a plain inter-wiki link,
      * [what a pic|Upload:my_image.gif] shows a named inter-wiki
         link to the gif
      * [Upload:my_image.gif|what a pic] shows a inlined image
         linked to the page "what a pic"
* New WikiGroup class enabled with the backends:
     NONE, WIKIPAGE, DB, FILE, LDAP
   (needed for page permissions in 1.4.0)

Internally:
* a session holds more user information than before.
* htmlarea3 was tested. Seems to be too complicated to fit
   into the current usage policy. Only HTML can be written back from the
   textarea, and a HTML => Wiki format converter seems to be hard
   to write, esp. full roundtrips. Partial support (HTML PageType)
   seems to be against PhpWiki spirit. Use Guiki instead for now.
* fpdf was tested to support PDF dumps (not yet enabled),
* A SpellCheck feature was tested (not yet enabled),
* moved interwiki.php code to PageType.php
* internal _AuthInfo plugin to see the current auth settings.
* intermediate InterWikiSearch revamp. (not yet working)
* working on a dynamic upgrader
   (update pgsrc, enable new features, update deprecated features, ...)
* working on a dynamic installer
   (initial work by electrawn for PostNuke)
* UserPreferences has some options enabled, which do not work yet
   (notify by email, email check)

Fixed Bugs:
* Revived WikiAdminSelect and WikiAdminRemove,
* Fixed XHTML dumps (wrong basepage, recursion detection),
* ADODB limit code
