[Krang-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Krang v2.007

[Sam T. <sa...@tr...>]

Krang v2.007 is now available (the source release is up now and binary
builds should be up soon).  Notable changes in this release and in
v2.006, which never received a proper announcement:

   * Improvements to the list-data management system, command-line
     tools and associated element classes. [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Added support for Konqueror and fixed Krang to deny access to Mac
     IE, which was never supported.  [Michael Peters]

   * Krang now automatically deletes any alerts tied to a desk when
     that desk is deleted, fixing a long-standing import/export
     bug. [Michael Peters]

   * Added --clean option to bin/krang_addon_installer.
     [Michael Peters]

   * Added new index to element table.  This index will greatly speed
     complex publishing logic.  Thanks to James Reidy for identifying
     the bottleneck.  [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Allow users whose page-size preference is 100, to be able to
     toggle between 100 and 20, instead of 100 and 100.
     [Michael Peters]

   * SiteServer configuration now does server-side includes by default.
     SSI is very common for sites managed by Krang.  This will make
     development use of the SiteServer more useful and easier.
     [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Added new --grep option to krang_upload_media.  This option
     permits you to use a regex to filter what you want media to
     upload.  [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Binary distributions now include src/ allowing for rebuilding
     installed copies of Krang. [Sam]

   * Fixed krang_install --FromBackup issues when the backups contain
     addons. [Michael Peters]

   * Fixed bug where KDS import would trigger delete_hook calls when
     updating elements for stories and categories. [Sam]

   * Fixed bulk-edit to allow white-space on the blank line separating
     paragraphs.  [Sam]

   * Modified krang_schedulectl to skip scheduler start-up if
     SchedulerMaxChildren parameter is set to 0 in krang.conf.  This
     is useful in development when you do not want the scheduler to
     run.  [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Fixed several bin/ scripts to always load Krang::Conf via
     Krang::ClassLoader before using it.  This fixes problems
     overriding Krang::Conf in an addon.  [Sam]

   * Changed krang_upload_templates script to now handle "global"
     templates (those without categories). [Jesse Erlbaum]

   * Numerous other bug fixes.

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system
designed for large-scale magazine-style websites.  It is a 100% Perl
application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN
modules.

Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing
environment for website editors, as well as a complete template
development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl
programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the
story editor and add code to drive the templates to build output.
Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other new
features.  Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage
multiple websites in a single installation.
