I'm pleased to announce announce the release of Bricolage-Devel 1.6.3.
This maintenance release addresses a number issues discovered since the
release of version 1.6.2. Some of the more important changes since 1.6.2
include:
- Document and contributor type field information (label, options) is
no longer pushed through Locale::Maketext, thus preventing errors
when element and contributor type admins create field options with
brackets in them.
- Documents associated with categories that have been deleted will
once again work properly. Even though a category may be deactivated,
any documents previously put into that category should still work,
and still treat the category as a working category. And so they do.
- Permissions granted on the "All" groups work again.
- Resize now works in super bulk edit.
- When a template is deployed, Bricolage now checks to see if its file
name has changed since it was last deployed, and if it has, it
deletes the old file.
- Optimized performance of Bric::Dist::Resource queries and wrote lots
of tests for them.
- When a story or media document is published, Bricolage now looks to
see if any files distributed for previous versions of the document
are no longer associated with the document, and expires them if they
are. It does so on a per-output channel basis, so note that if
output channel settings have changed since the document was last
published, the expiration may miss some stale files. The same goes
for when destinations are changed. But this should cover the vast
majority of cases.
- Text input fields no longer impose a default maximum field length.
This is so that element fields that have their maximum length set to
0 can truly be unlimited in length.
- Passing an undef via the
workflow__id parameters to
the list() method of Story, Media, or Template once again
causes Bricolage to correctly return only those assets that are not in
workflow.
- Extra blank lines between subelement tags in super bulk edit no
longer causes an error.
- Searches no longer return unexpected results or all objects when
pagination is enabled.
