WIKINDX v6.9.0 Release Candidate 1

We have prepared a Release Candidate of the next WIKINDX release: 6.9.0.

Beta releases are not for production use. However, we would appreciate the help of dedicated WIKINDX users in testing the beta versions in order to ensure that the final release is of the highest quality.

A beta tester should be able to set up and manage a test WIKINDX environment, ideally populated with data from their production environment. We expect each beta release period to last two weeks during which bugs will be reported and fixed. If you are able and willing to beta test with us, then the latest beta test files can be found in BETA RELEASE of Files section.

With each beta release, a new ticket will be posted here—please post bugs and feedback to that ticket.

Mark & Stéphane.

Improvements

• When zooming on titles, for ease of display of the zoom links, long titles are reduced to the first two words. For example, 'The important rules of play' would be reduced to 'The important.' This has been improved by first filtering from the title a list of words defined by the admin (the ignore list for searching) so that, if 'the' is in the list, the title would then be displayed as 'important rules.' This is a little more informative for the user.
• Remove experimental status of the BrowserTabID feature. If this is enabled by the admin, users can conduct a number of independent operations, such as searching and listing, across multiple browser tabs or windows.

Maintenance

• Update Smarty (v5.0.2).
• Simplifies the structure of translation files to follow the Transifex layout.
• Replace deprecated Smarty 'implode' modifier by 'join' modifier (Smarty 5 compatibility) [#678].

Bug fixes

• Avoid an SQL error in QUICKSEARCH by allowing the use of apostrophe in all searches.
• Commenting out a property of the CONFIG class of config.php causes a warning since PHP 8.2 [#679].
• Warning displayed when an unconnected user modifies their preferences.

Security

• Deal with cross-site scripting problem vulnerability [#680].
