Changes: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in version 1.5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed corruption of image files in the zip archive. - Optimised search. Improved the performance of the search function by placing more of the work on the database and by applying indexes to some of the tables. Sub-folder searches are also dramatically improved due to the incorporation of a folderList field in the tblDocuments table. - Optimised display. New compact theme significantly reduces the page load times. This is the default theme. The original is still available as a selection. - Changed file download headers such that downloading works with IE over SSL. - Changed all instances of $HTTP_COOKIES_VARS, which has been deprecated, to $_COOKIE. - Replaced all short open tags (<?) with <?php tags, including <?= tags. - Removed the dependency upon register_globals. - Database: removed the id column from tblDocumentContent. Changed the primary key to be (document, version) with the auto_increment on the version field. This enables the database to automatically assign the next appropriate version number to any new row inserted into the table without having to explicitly look up the existing version value, increment the result and store that as part of the insert statement. It guarantees that there will be no conflicts or duplication of version numbers by simultaneous inserts. The id field was not required as it was not used anywhere except as a convenient identifier. It was easily replaced by (document id, version). - Database: Moved the lock field into a separate table for managing locks. Fixes a problem where it was possible, although unlikely, for two people to simultaneously request a lock on a document. - The settings file, inc/inc.Settings.php, is renamed in the distribution to inc/inc.Settings-sample.php. This is to avoid any existing settings being deleted during an upgrade. To use MyDMS for the first time, users must now copy (or move) this file to inc/inc.Settings.php and edit before using MyDMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in version 1.4.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - All files released as GPL as license recommends. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.4.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Downloading document: fixed security bug ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.4.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - SQL injection bug fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.4.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Security Bug fixed that allowed unauthorized users to view documents ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - New interface for user- and group-administration - Delete old revisions - Folder- and document-chooser now show a collapsed tree by default - You can now prepare both personal and global lists of keywords and insert them easily for your documents ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.3.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Choose language and theme Users can now choose their preferred language and theme on the login-screen. - Split of language file inc.Language.php has been splitted so that every language is provided in its own file. - Added ADOdb Due to ADOdb MyDMS is no longer limited to MySQL. Every database that is supported by ADOdb can be used together with MyDMS - Admin-Tool: Overview of folders and documents A tool that shows a list of all folders and documents together with the ACLs has been added. The section "admin-tools" will become bigger in the next versions (import files etc). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - New feature: Auto-Conversion to HTML When uploading files they are now converted to HTML automatically. So you can now even view Winword-files online with your favourite browser. - Integrated themes Themes (again: thanks to Marcel van Groenigen), which were only available by a seperate download so far, are now fully integrated into MyDMS. I'm looking forward to MacOS X Themes :-) - Fixed bug: Search function An error occured if no folder had been chosen. This has been fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Improved searching functionality MyDMS now offers you a lot more options to help you find exactly what you were looking for. This is only the first stop of improvement: Look forward to an even more powerful search engine in the next versions :-) - Security-Bug: Session-ID One could guess the session-id very easily, since it was only a two digit number. This has been corrected so that it should now be impossible to get illegal access this way. Tip: Empty tblSessions once a day (by a cron-job for example). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Move documents and folders If you have put folders or documents to the wrong place or just want to re-organize the structure you can now easily move documents and folders. - New languages A Russian (thanks to Dmitri) and a Durch version (thanks to André Koot) are now available, too. - Upload-Bug With certain configurations moving the temporary file of on upload caused problems. MyDMS now uses the built-in move_uploaded_file() function to prevent this error. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Sequence of Documents and Folders One of the most wanted features has been realized: The user has now full control of the sequence in which documents and folders appear in the system. - Related Documents Every documents now has a list of link to related documents. There are two kinds of links: public and private ones; public links can be seen by anyone, while private ones are only visible to the user that created them. Users with read-only access can only add private links, while users with at least read-write access can decide which type of link they want to add. Private links can only be deleted by the user that has created them while public links - no matter who created them - can be deleted by all users with read-write access. - Fixed Bug: Delete documents When deleting documents they were removed only from the database. The files in the content-directory were kept. - Fixed Bug: View and download documents. Very ling filenames (more than 70 characters) caused problems with viewing and downloading of documents. By runnning the db-update filenames with up to 150 characters are now possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Spanish translation Eugenio Ramajo has completely translated MyDMS to Spanish - Disable guest-login You can now disable the guest-login introduced in Version 1.1.0 by setting $_enableGuestLogin to false. - Confirmation for deletion When deleting documents or folders you now have to confirm this action to prevent you from accidentaly deleting important data. - Security improved By manually changing the folder-ID in the URL it was possible to "illegaly" show folders or documents (but downloading or viewing the actual content was not possible). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Guest-Login You can now choose to log-in as guest so that you can access your documents more quickly. The guest user cannot be added to the ACLs. So take care that the default access is at least "read" if you wish to have access with the guest-user. You cannot edit the guest-users's account. - Download documents more quickly If you want to download the current version (or view it online) there is no more need to scroll to the end of the document's page: Now there is a button just on top of the site for downloading the current version. - Icons for Mime-Types According to the document's MIME-type an additional icon is show. (Icons from KDE3). - Correct filename when downloading When downloading a file it was named data.[extension] up to know. This has been replaced by the original filename. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in Version 1.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - if you had the GNU test-package installed on your machine, the function getText() caused a fatal error. The problem was solved by renaming the function.
