• docdb 1.4 file released: docdb_1.4.tar.gz

  Document Database Changes ------------------------------ Changes from 1.2 to 1.4 ----------------------- Version 1.4 is the latest release of the Document Database. Its main new features are: * User Defineable Fields: The administrator can now define new entry fields for documents, e.g. Abstract, Keywords, etc. Entry fields up to 80 characters are being displayed the usual way. Larger entry boxes are shown as entry boxes. Entry fields of size 1 are shown with radio buttons for yes/no type questions. These new fields can be mandatory and/or included in BibTeX output depending on the document type. * Public Accessible Documents: The admins can now decide which documents can be shown publicly, i.e. also to people who are not users of the database. For this a new public section is introduced. It is possible to upload separate files for the public and for the internal users for the same document_id. This might help with copyright issues i.e. a pre-version, or extended version can be made available to the public, whereas internally the published article is available. If two versions are uploaded, both are seen internally. The public site has easy to use commands so that it can be tailored to your needs and the layout can be adjusted to that the public page fits into the design of your public page. A brief example is given. Please make sure that you observe the copyright laws and only make documents publicly accessible for which you hold the copyright or have explicit permission by the copyright holder to do so. * Statistics Page: This new page shows how many documents have been entered and how many documents have been uploaded to the DocDB. It also shows a TOP 10 of the users who entered the most documents. And it displays a list of the 5 newest entries into DocDB and the 5 newest entries of the currently logged on user. Furthermore it shows the 5 most downloaded publicly available documents and the 5 most requested publicly available BibTeX entries. * Cleaner Front Page: Many functions that used to be on the front page are now moved to sub-pages and the most important functions: search for documents and entering documents are now on the top * Administration Page: The document database user administration now found a new home on the administration page. This also shows the new User Definable Fields. * Password Page: There is now a new page where users can change their password. * Last Viewed: Downloading a document now updates the Last Viewed list. * Foreign Character Support: Many new characters are now supported, most notable are Polish, Czech, Slovak, Turkish and some Scandinavian characters. A complete list can be found in the docs directory. Also -- and --- are now translated to the appropriate html equivalent. * Incorporated Feature Request 1735341 Czech Character Support 1168531 add database field to hold abstract text (New Feature: User Definable Fields) 1436029 Bibtex button in doc_view.php * Postponed Feature Request to next release 1040391 BibTeX input and output It also includes many bug fixes, security fixes. Users of the Document Database are strongly encouraged to update to 1.4. * Fixed Bug 1932491 Upload Errors create empty document entries * Fixed Bug 1447730 Document deletion does not remove notes * Fixed Bug 1151996 Notes: Space between radio buttons and delete button * Fixed Bug 1152009 BibTEX emulation: Missing space between some fields * Fixed Bug 1168373 fatal error clicking bibtex link on reference (MYSQL) * Fixed Bug 1177731 Error in the script 'install.sh' for 'htpasswd' * Fixed Bug 1212199 Notes are to small * Fixed Bug 1296041 Explicit postgres calls in bibtex.php (duplicate to bug number 1168373) * Fixed Bug 1316026 chapter field to small for inbook Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.2 ------------------------- The main new features in release 1.2 are: * MySQL Support: The Document Database can now work with either MySQL Postgres! * Filearea: The file area is a place on the Document Database which can be used to share unpublished documents, source code, presentations, etc. amongst the Document Database users. Files are organized in a directory tree. The file area is searchable (for filenames only) and preserves the same user rights as known from document entries. * Notes: This is an exciting new feature. Every user can comment on a document using the notes feature. Each user can read everyones notes, unless they are private. * Boolean Search: The database supports now queries for multiple words depending on different fields. These boolean searches can be conveniently generated using a query builder or entered directly. Here is an example: knuth<in>au <and>concrete<and>math * BibtexID: Until now, the Document Database used its unique document numbers as BibTeX Identifiers. Now there exists an optional field for bibtex ID. If no ID is entered the unique document number will be used as before, otherwise the bibtex keys. * Limited Foreign Character Support: The Document Database now supports a limited set of foreign characters. It interprets the LaTeX commands for these and displays then properly on the web page. There is also a new Help page that shows all supported characters and how they have to be entered for LaTeX. * Fixed Bug 985500 Umlauts are not displayed correctly * Fixed Bug 985494 Authorname with / causes illegal filename * Fixed Bug 1004548 non-empty author field reported as empty Changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1 ------------------------- * Using multiple instances of the Document Database, even using different versions on the same machine works now. * Fixed many problems with the old installation script. * Tightened file permission to make the database more secure. * Fixed Bug 913715 Installation fails if database and database user differ * Fixed Bug 913714 directory /database is readable * Fixed Bug 911788 Installation overwrites existing external.inc * Fixed Bug 911782 All registered users can read config.inc * Fixed Bug 911780 Multi-Instance Installation includes wrong files * Fixed Bug 911779 Database gets deleted upon 2nd installation * Fixed Bug 877242 REQ: Re-order entries of combo-boxes * Fixed Bug 873178 No Help on several document types * Fixed Bug 873175 Can't upload document after an entry was created * Fixed Bug 866322 db superuser no permission to execute db create script * Fixed Bug 859487 File extensions larger than 3 characters cause problems * Fixed Bug 859372 Documents can't be uploaded if authorname contains ' * Fixed Bug 859370 Error messages during installation with source from cvs * Fixed Bug 859368 apache 1.3.* does not have htpasswd2 * Fixed Bug 859367 Installation does not create links in /html/includes * Displays version number on html pages
