To whom this may concern. I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest release of Project Hirtius (v1.07). Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Héron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers. Contrary to what happened in past versions of Hirtius, v1.07 doesn't bring any user-visible new feature. Its main focus was the porting of the application to PHP8, which is now complete (while remaining fully backward-compatible with PHP7, of course). This porting effort was followed by a very thorough test campaign which lead to the discovery and subsequent resolution of a large number of bugs and issues of a more cosmetic nature. Still on the technical side, this version also includes a refactoring of some of the JavaScript functions used on most HTML forms, another one that impacts the way the debug flag is used and an expanded version information on the main Admin page. Hirtius v1.07 has been fully tested on openSUSE 15.6 with PHP 8.2. For a complete list of changes in this version, please refer to the 'Changelog' file, provided both as part of the distribution archive and on the project web site (see below). If you already installed an earlier release of the software, please refer to the 'UPGRADE' document (available in the same locations as the 'Changelog'). For more information about the program, please visit the application home page: <https://hirtius.sourceforge.io/> To download the installation archive, please visit the SourceForge project page: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hirtius/> and click on the "Files" tab. Any question or comment is always welcome. Ph. A. |

Release email for Hirtius v1.06 =============================== (pan, v0, 21/08/2024) Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Public release of Project Hirtius v1.06 To whom this may concern. I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest release of Project Hirtius (v1.06). Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Heron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers. The main improvements in v1.06 are: ----------------------------------- - Added new checkbox on the "Latest Updates" search query page to control whether the maximum number of hits should be computed globally or per category. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - Added new Calendar View feature (based on jPerCal project). Added new 'era' column to Events and Titles objects. DB schema bumped to 50. Made JDN values more visible (and selectable as Advanced Search Result columns where applicable). Added new Calendar Tools page to offer direct access to the underlying functions that support Calendar View. Added new "Bibliography" and "Supported Eras" help pages with all references used to build the calendaring functions. Updated HelpSet, INSTALL, UPGRADE and test procedure accordingly. - Took advantage of the new functions and data fields introduced by the Calendar View feature to implement a more thorough validation on the "historical" date format (i.e. the one used for Events and Titles). - Granted Reader-level user accounts full management rights over their own library cards and related renewal records. Updated test procedure accordingly. - Added action links to the Tray view page to allow inserting a new Slide straight into a specific (empty) slot. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - Disabling or enabling a user account is now traced explicitly in the EventLog. - Improved 'URLify()' function to render SmartLinks pointing to non-existent objects with a different visual style, and to use a different target URL in this case (object creation page or object list, where possible). Added "candidate Slide ID" to the interface of ./slide_edit.php (to be used by 'URLify()' when pointing to non-existent slides). Created new function 'GetBibSrcRefIDbyName()' to allow similar check for Bibrefs and Srcrefs. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. + many, many other bug fixes and enhancements... For a complete list of changes in this version, please refer to the 'Changelog' file, provided both as part of the distribution archive and on the project web site (see below).

Release email for Hirtius v1.05 =============================== (pan, v0, 31/10/2023) Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Public release of Project Hirtius v1.05 To whom this may concern. I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest release of Project Hirtius (v1.05). Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Heron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers. The main improvements in v1.05 are: ----------------------------------- - A new Event Log feature to record meaningful application activities. At this stage, the following actions are logged: * initial data load at DB creation * sanity check and ID gaps check runs * any change to user profiles * any data deletion * project creation, closure and re-opening * LaTeX report generation The log entries are accessed through a new Event Log Viewer page and are also searchable through the Basic, Timeline and Advanced Search pages (please note: non-admin users can only see events they triggered themselves). - Redesigned '$debug' variable handling: instead of a binary ON/OFF value, the variable can now be assigned a combination of binary flags to selectively turn debugging ON or OFF for different categories of topics (three have been defined at this stage: algorithms and application workflow, SQL queries and JavaScript). The DB Admin menu page has been updated to list the currently enabled debugging categories. - Added new 'transcription' field to 'slides' and 'sources' tables. Displayed in view mode only when not empty. A new JS-driven "Populate" button allows to auto-fill 'transcription' with a cleaned-up version of the current contents of the 'reading' field. New field integrated to basic and advanced search. + many, many other bug fixes and enhancements... For a complete list of changes in this version, please refer to the 'Changelog' file, provided both as part of the distribution archive and on the project web site (see below).

To whom this may concern.
I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest upgrade
of Project Hirtius (v1.04).
Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les
Ateliers du Heron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and
box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a
whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS
cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy
application and a Wiki.
Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and
the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will
also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers.
The main improvements in v1.04 are:
-----------------------------------
- Moved to using the stronger 'bcrypt' algorithm for password hashing
instead of MD5 ('-B' option to 'htpasswd').
/!\ Existing passwords stored as MD5 hashes will still work. The use of the
new algorithm will only be enforced on a user when he changes his password
(or on new accounts when they are created).
- Replaced the unsafe "batch mode" ('-b' parameter) of 'htpasswd' calls
by '-i': instead of providing the passwords on the command-line (thereby
very briefly exposing their clear text), they are now securely read from
<stdin>.
+ many other bug fixes and enhancements...
For a complete list of changes in this version, please refer to the
'Changelog' file, provided both as part of the distribution archive and
on the project web site (see below).
If you already installed an earlier release of the software, please
refer to the 'UPGRADE' document (available in the same locations as the
'Changelog'). As the current release contains several security fixes,
upgrading to it is strongly recommended.
For more information about the program, please visit the application
home page:
<https://hirtius.sourceforge.io/>;
To download the installation archive, please visit the SourceForge
project page:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/hirtius/>;

To whom this may concern. I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest upgrade of Project Hirtius (v1.03). Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Heron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers. The main improvements in v1.03 are: ----------------------------------- - In ./user_edit.php, granted access to own profile edition to 'Reader'- level user accounts (except for 'userid' and 'level' fields, obviously). Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - In ./user_post.php, added a confirmation step when an attempt to rename a userid is detected (message similar to that of 'delcon') and added an extra check to make sure only Admin users could rename a userid. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - On the Users List page (./users.php), adapted available actions list based on the user auth level. For non-admin users, their own account is marked by default, all other radio buttons are disabled. Cosmetics. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - Corrected escaping mechanism for quotes used inside user passwords (MySQL and the shell have different escaping requirements). Updated test procedure accordingly. - Added missing quoting for some database fields during user update. - Prevent deleting, disabling or demoting the last active, admin-capable user account. Updated HelpSet and test procedure accordingly. - Add proper quoting around all extrernal command parameters in './user_post.php' to prevent potential shell injection. - Extended max. password length to 255 -- value now defined as global variable in 'definitions.inc'. Added note on WebUI as to the min. and max. lengths for passwords. Updated HelpSet accordingly. - Enforce minimum password length (value configurable in 'definitions.inc'). Recommendation only when password is set/reset by an administrator. Updated test procedure accordingly. + many other bug fixes and enhancements... For a complete list of changes in this version, please refer to the 'Changelog' file, provided both as part of the distribution archive and on the project web site (see below). If you already installed an earlier release of the software, please refer to the 'UPGRADE' document (available in the same locations as the 'Changelog').
