DocDB 7.7.0 Released

Hi all,

Version 7.7.0 of DocDB is out. The main change is that the new 3-column display for events is included. I heard only positive comments on this, so we are going with the basic idea. If there are further tweaks, they can be easily accommodated.

7.7.0
Reorganized the output of DisplayMeeting to look more like ShowDocument and
to present things in a clearer manner.

Add a routine in scripts to help find obsolete code. Remove a bunch of
uncalled routines.

Added XML output capability to ShowDocument

Moved advanced user instructions to a separate page and added instructions for
XML and mention of Perl "programatic" interface

Allow external DocDB location to miss final "/" for XSearch

Added instructions for admins.

Added redirect to CertificateApplyForm after 5 seconds if the user is not verified.

New Files:
AdministerIntructions.pm
AdvancedIntructions.pm

7.6.1
New file: ListGroups Should be placed in public scripts directory too.

Added a new script, ListGroups which lists the various security groups and
allows the user to get a list of the documents viewable by that group. This
will NOT list public documents nor documents which the group is allowed to
read because it is over another group in the hierarchy. Turned security list
in ShowDocument into links to ListBy. ListBy also takes ListBy?group=blah
which will translate blah into a group number.

Added two new fields for the document display. Author+Institution should be
obvious. Events (Long Name) gives the description or long name of the event
instead of the short name.

The number of characters allowed in event and session descriptions was not
consistent with what the DB allowed. This has been fixed. (The long
desciptions are unlimited by the DB, limited to 400 characters by the UI.)

XML output could contain invalid characters (control characters I suppose)
which would not parse. These characters should be filtered out.
