[Linkbase-devel] LinkBase 1.3 available for download !

[Jean H. <gu...@al...>]

Hi there,

I've just uploaded LinkBase 1.3 on the project site. This is a major
release, here is a list of the changes that occured since version 1.2 :

Database support improvements :
- the database abstraction layer should work but has yet only been tested 
  with MySQL
- PostgreSQL may now be supported but has yet not been tested. Moreover, the 
  SQL dumps for PostgreSQL are still missing, any help would be appreciated 
  for this part of the work.
Feature enhancements :
- a mail can be sent to every moderators each time a link is submitted
- tree view (really) of the topic tree
- it is now possible to choose the number of columns in which the topics are
  split when browsed. Moreover, topics are now listed in alphabetical order,
  down each column, and additional informations (such as the number of links 
  in the topic and the number of sub-topics) can be displayed (thanks to
  Sven-Erik Andersen for the idea).
- small interfaces improvements
Bugfixes :
- the database format has changed a bit, LinkBase can now handle up to 32767
  topics (instead of 127). To upgrade, run the db_dump/update-1.3.sql script 
  on your database. The upgrade is transparent and won't require you to check
  your links afterwards. Thanks to Sven-Erik Andersen for having
  noticed and corrected the bug.
- code cleaning and commenting

It is available from the usual location :
http://linkbase.sourceforge.net/?action=download

Note to users of previous versions :
Don't be afraid of upgrading : this morning, I installed the first
public release of LinkBase (1.00RC4) and upgraded it to 1.00, then
1.1r2, 1.2 and 1.3 with no problem ! Since each version has less bugs
and adds new useful features, I would be in your interest to upgrade.
Just take care of reading the UPGRADE file in the root dir of LinkBase
for instructions.

Enjoy !
