[Webcollab-users] WebCollab Version 1.41

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

Pleased to announce the release of WebCollab version 1.41.

On the face of it, not a lot of changes, but there has been some fairly
extensive code clean ups.  HTML converted to lowercase (moving toward
the XHTML standard), comments changed from double quoting to single
quoting (where feasible).  All the database queries have been run
through the MySQL query 'EXPLAIN' function, and a few poorly written
queries got improved. 

Overall the software seems to be running faster, though it could just be
my imagination!

Also added a French translation, and put in a few more error traps for
the user errors that get (regularly) logged on the Sourceforge Demo
site.

Enjoy!

Andrew

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab Version 1.40 released

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

As the title says.

-The most notable change is the option to allow anyone in a usergroup to
edit a project/task
belonging to that usergroup.  This is optional, and can be selected by
the owner when creating the
project or task.  This should make it easier for workgroups to 'own'
tasks and projects.

-Projects can now be set up with no deadline.  This enables projects to
be started, and initial tasks
setup before the final end date is known.

-Email can now be turned off in the configuration file.  And an
alternative to the PHP mail()
function has been provided, with a SMTP mail server based on PHPMailer.

-Provision has been made for MySQL innodb databases with transactional
support.

-Spanish language translation has been provided by Daniel Lujan.

-Provision has been made for remote authentication by Apache.

-Email text messages are now checked for possible cross-site scripting
attacks.

-In keeping with PHP syntax changes made in version 4.2.0 for PostgreSQL
functions, WebCollab now
automatically supports the old syntax and the new syntax depending on
version of PHP in use.

** Note that existing databases need to be updated.  See the release
notes in the file package.
