Bricolage 1.8.9 - Mailing list pgsql-announce

     The Bricolage development team is pleased to announce the
release of
     Bricolage 1.8.9. This maintenance release addresses numerous minor
     issues in Bricolage 1.8.8 and adds a few improvements, including
better
     use of the "Default Asset Sort" preference and and more
intelligent URI
     and publish date handling. The most important changes include:

Improvements

       * When a story or media document is published with an
expiration date
       earlier than the publish date, the UI will now properly report
that
       the document has been "expired", rather than "published".
Thanks to
       Simon Wilcox for the spot. [David]

       * The Bulk Publish interface in the UI now displays the name
of the
       site alongside the category if there is more than one site, so
as to
       disambiguate the list of categories. Reported by Marshall Roch.
       [David]

       * Added constraints to the story and media tables in the
database to
       prevent the publish status from becoming out of sync with the
publish
       date and first publish date. [David]

       * Changed code to show the first displayable data field of a
       subelement when viewing or editing an asset as opposed to only
text
       fields. [Paul Orrock]

       * Bric::SOAP::Workflow's publish method now schedules a
publish job
       instead of immediately publishing, thus allowing the publish_date
       parameter to actually work, and ensuring that the proper
version is
       published. [David]

Bug Fixes

       * Fixed file names for files uploaded by MSIE on Windows. Again.
       Reported by Wayne Slavin. [David]

       * A media document that has a file uploaded to it before it is
ever
       saved will no longer cause it to store the media file in a
directory
       without an ID mapping it to the media document. This only
affected
       installations where media were created by some method other
than the
       Bricolage UI or SOAP. Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

       * Story and Media on the search result page are now correctly
sorted
       by the "Default Asset Sort" preference, or title if the
preference is
       not set. [Paul Orrock]

       * Media file names are now URI-escaped for inclusion in the URIs
       returned by get_uri() and get_primary_uri(). Reported by Alexey
       Sheynuk. [David]

       * Eliminated an error in the permissions screen when a site with
       workflows has been deleted. Reported by Frank Febbraro. [David]

       * If a desk or My Workspace does not have assets of a
particular type
       (stories, media, or templates) on it, it will no longer display
       buttons for them. Reported by Scott. [David]

       * Fixed the sorting menus for templates on desks. Also fixed
them for
       all assets on desks so that sorting on categories sorts by URIs
       (which are displayed) rather than names. Template sorting issues
       reported by Scott. [David]

       * Adding a variable to the message in an alert type now properly
       triggers the update of the message character count. Reported by
       Scott. [David]

       * URIs are now always constructed with the cover date
reflecting the
       global Time Zone preference, rather than the setting from a
user's
       overriding Time Zone preference. This prevents URI conflicts and
       makes searches for URIs with dates in them consistent.
