File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: OpenInteract 1.56

Notes:
1.56  Mon Feb 17 16:55:40 EST 2003

 - All packages now use %%DATETIME%% key to specify a datetime field.

 - Backup the package repository and do a check whenever we perform
 any actions to modify it. This should help with corruption of the
 repository.

 - Small bugfixes and enhancements.

Changes:
1.56  Mon Feb 17 16:55:40 EST 2003

Overall:

 * Updated all relevant packages to use the '%%DATETIME%%' key in
   database schemas since different databases use different types
   ('datetime', 'timestamp', 'date', 'whenever', etc.)

 * A number of small bugfixes and enhancements. Included in this is an
   update of package documentation for most packages shipped with the
   distribution. (Fixes SF Bug #597982)

Individual:

 * conf/sample-override_spops.ini

   - Add 'news_section' as object to be optionally modified for its
   database type.

 * OpenInteract/Config/Ini.pm:

   - Fixed a few bugs in the INI read/write along with a small
   documentation note. Thanks much to Isidro Vila Verde <jvv@fe.up.pt>
   for pointing out the errors and sending along fixes.

 * OpenInteract/Package.pm:

   - Update copy_modules() to return an arrayref of the full
   destination paths of the modules rather than the module files
   themselves.

 * OpenInteract/PackageRepository.pm:

   - Add routines to backup and restore from backup.

 * OpenInteract/Session.pm:

   - Set session key 'timestamp' on create

 * OpenInteract/SQLInstall.pm:

   - Add support for '%%DATETIME%%' keyword in schemas to install.

 * OpenInteract/Startup.pm:

   - Do a chmod 0777 on all the files and directories in the templib
   directory. Fixes SF Bug #657857.

 * OpenInteract/Template/Plugin.pm:

   - Add 'page_title( $title )' method to change the page title from a
   template.

   - Be sure that boxes added via 'box_add' copy the box parameters
   (title, weight, etc.) to the right place

 * script/oi_manage:

   - Call repository backup/restore backup when appropriate. This
   should help with accidental corruption of the repository.
