CODSYS is a GPL Perl/Web-based system for collaboration. The system uses a backend XML file for all data, and lays the contents out in a tree structure identical to the layout of the XML document.

The latest version of CODSYS, version 0.3.0 has now been released. Sorry for such a long gap between this and the last release - I got Diablo 2 working in Wine, so I've been distracted for the last week or so. There's a number of changes - check the changelog for details. The two most significant changes are documentation (whoohoo!) and a change to the URI referencing (which fixes problems in Netscape 4.x with unencoded non-alphanumeric characters on the URI). Please note that this release will not function with data from previous releases due to the change of URI reference system. The reson for this is that objects are referred to by ID rather than by title, and there is no ID attribute in previous data files, so you won't be able to access any objects under the root. Any new objects created in a current data file will be fine, but existing objects won't work.
* Completely changed the URI system - the URI for a particular object no longer contains the title of the object, but instead contains a list of reference IDs which relate to the objects. However, this does mean that CURRENT XML DATABASES WILL NOT FUNCTION. This is unfortunate, but the change was necessary due to the complexity of encoding URIs so that they don't contain strange characters such as slashes, spaces, etc.. This has also resolved the problems with browser which don't automatically encode URIs when they submit them (such as Netscape 4.x)<br /> * All alements contain a reference to the owner (actually the creator - this was in previous releases), the creation date and modification date (currently in GMT)<br /> * Documentation is included! The documentation is contained within the actual XML, and you can view this once the system is installed simply by accessing the system<br /> * The tree layout has been slightly modified - this is purely aesthetic
0.2.0 -<br /> * With the merging of images into the main distribution (see next entrry), the package has been renamed from codsys-core to just codsys<br /> * Included images in the distribution, along with information on licensing for the images<br /> * Corrected an issue with the tree rendering - the font size was specified as 75%, but on each level of depth of the tree, this was being re-applied, making the text smaller the more nesting there was - the font should now always be 75% of the main enclosing element of the tree<br /> * The search object is now in a functional state, although it currently only searches in the titles of objects for the supplied string<br /> * The cancel links (for cancelling creation / modification) have been adjusted slightly (they've been re-positioned, and they also work now)<br /> * All form actions are no longer blank but contain the full path including get method (to allow get-method-based configuration to be carried across to form results)<br /> * Corrected a problem with new text or html objects created with no text not allowing for text to be added later
Version 0.2.0 has now been released. Most significantly, this release includes images for the different object types (taken from Gnome - the reason they weren't included in earlier releases was that I hadn't sorted out licensing for the images). The search object is now also functional (at the moment it only searches for a supplied string in the titles of other objects, not the contents, but I'll add this at some point in the future), and there's been some minor changes to non-rendering related areas.
The first release (0.1) is now available for download. The system does function, although the documentation may be a little cryptic. Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you find any problems with the system. Images are currently missing. While writing the system, I was using standard Gnome grpahics, and if I'm going to re-distribute them I need to sort out copyright references in the distribution.
codsys-core 0.1.1 -<br /> * Corrected an error with the default administrator password - $ symbols were not escaped in the copy in the 'config' file<br /> * Corrected the default path entry for the .htpasswd file to point to the /etc/ directory rather than the /cgi/ directory<br /> * Added the CSS style for the system into the distribution
