=head1 DESCRIPTION

This document lists the Changes to Bricolage introduced with each release.

=head1 VERSION 1.8.5 (2005-03-18)

=head2 Improvements

=over 4

=item *

Added the C<checked_in> parameter to the C<lookup()>, C<list()>, and
C<list_ids()> methods of the story, media, and template classes. If passed a
true value, this parameter causes the checked in version of the most current
version of the story to be returned. When a story is checked out, there are
two instances of the current version: the one checked in last, and the one
currently being edited. When the C<checked_in> parameter is a true value, then
the instance last checked in is returned, rather than the instance currently
checked out. This is useful for users who do not currently have a story
checked out and wish to see the story as of the last check in, rather than as
currently being worked on in the current checkout. If a story is not currently
checked out, this parameter has no effect.

=head2 Bug Fixes

=over 4

=item *

Previews on non-checked out stories and media work again. [David]

=item *

Preview and views once again preview a story or media document as it was last
checked in, rather than as it might be currently being worked on in a current
checkout. [David]

=back

=head1 VERSION 1.8.4 (2005-03-18)

=head2 Improvements

=over 4

=item *

Made story profile's subelement 'Preview In' output-channel list consistent
with the top level one (e.g. editing a Page shows the same preview OCs as
editing the Story at the top level). [Scott]

=item *

Added Linux startup script F<contrib/start_scripts/linux>. [David]

=item *

Added C<version_id> parameter to the C<list()> methods of the story, media,
and template classes. Oversight reported by Kang-min Liu. [David]

=item *

Distribution via SFTP is now atomic and respects the C<FTP_UNLINK_BEFORE_MOVE>
directive. Spotted by Patrick Michael Kane. [David]

=item *

Related story and media elements managed through the SOAP server can now use a
combination of URI and site ID to identify related assets in addition to the
existing approach of using story and media IDs. [David]

=item *

Email sent by Bricolage now set the send date, since our understanding is
that the MUA is responsible for setting the date and some SPAM filters trigger
on missing Date: headers. [Cameron Miller]

=item *

The media type manager now validates media type names to ensure that they are
of the form "type/subtype" with no spaces. Suggested by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

When started up by the super user, the virtual FTP server now runs as the same
user as the Bricolage Apache server. This should prevent malicious users of
the virtual FTP server from being able to do things as the root user that they
shouldn't. [Keith Grennan]

=item *

SQL errors encountered when building the database are now fatal, meaning that
they will cause the entire installation to fail, rather than continuing to
execute SQL statements and build an incomplete database. This prevents the
creation broken databases when people didn't notice errors in the past.
[David]

=item *

A list of subelements is now less likely to mysteriously become out of order
and thus lead to strange action-at-a-distance errors. And even if they do
become out of order, the error message will be more appropriate ("Warning!
State inconsistent" instead of "Can't call method 'get_name' on an undefined
value"). Reported by Curtis Poe. [David]

=item *

Updated mail list information in L<Bric::Hacker|Bric::Hacker>. Reported by
Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

The SOAP media interface now supports creating relationships between the media
documents elements and other story and media documents, just like the SOAP
story interface does. [David]

=item *

The SOAP interface now supports Related stories and media on story type and
media type elements just as in the UI. This involved the somewhat hackish
necessity for including the "related_story_id" and "related_media_id" (or
"related_story_uri" and "related_media_uri") attributes in the "elements" XML
element, but it does the trick. [David]

=item *

The list of elements to select from when creating a new template is now in
alphabetical order. [David]

=item *

The XML representation of media documents used by the SOAP server now supports
the media type of the file. [David]

=item *

The "multi" install destination is now the default, rather than the "single"
install destination. The two styles ("multi" and "single") are now also better
described during installation. [David]

=back

=head2 Bug Fixes

=over

=item *

Versions of Perl that disallow the use of the C<-I> argument in a setuid
environment will no longer cause the upgrade to fail. Reported by Serge
Sozonoff. [David]

=item *

The new support for a false value to the C<checked_out> parameter to the
C<list()> methods of the story, media, and template classes is now properly
supported by the SOAP C<list_ids> method, as well. [David]

=item *

Calls to publish documents via SOAP will no longer fail if the
C<published_version> attribute is not specified and the document to be
published has never been published before. [David]

=item *

The Bricolage virtual FTP server will no longer fail to start if Template
Toolkit is installed but its version number is less than 2.14. Reported by
Adam Rinehart. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where nothing would ever publish if you had
C<PUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS> enabled in F<bricolage.conf>. [Mark]

=item *

Added "slug" to the list of attributes specified in the error message for a
non-unique URI in a story. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot! [David]

=item *

Fix in the SOAP server code to adjust for changes in Exception::Class 1.20.
[David]

=item *

Stories and Media created or updated via the SOAP interface will now associate
contributors of the appropriate type, instead of "All Contributors". [Scott &
David]

=item *

Deleting an element that has a template no longer causes an error. Thanks to
Susan for the spot! [David]

=item *

Eliminated encoding errors when using the SOAP interface to output stories,
media, or templates with wide characters. Reported by Scott Lanning. [David]

=item *

Fields with a an empty string or 0 (zero) for their values will no longer be
displayed as "Not defined" when viewing a story. [David]

=item *

Reverting (stories, media, templates) no longer gives an error. Reported by
Simon Wilcox, Rachel Murray, and others. [David]

=item *

Publishing a published version of a document that has a later version in
workflow will no longer cause that later version to be mysteriously removed
from workflow. This could be caused by passing a document looked up using the
C<published_version> to C<list()> to C<< $burner->publish_another >> in a
template. [David]

=item *

The SOAP server story and media interfaces now support elements that contain
both related stories and media, rather than one or the other. [David]

=item *

Attempting to preview a story or media document currently checked out to another
user no longer causes an error. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

=item *

Desk asset buttons are no longer broken in non-English localizations. Thanks
to Scott Lanning for the spot! [David]

=item *

Subelements will be properly deleted when selecting a "Delete" checkbox and
clicking "Save" or "Save and Stay" in the story or media profile. It always
worked in the element profile, and now it's consistent across document profile
interfaces. Spotted by Scott Lanning. [David]

=item *

Custom fields with default values now have their values included when they are
added to stories and media. Thanks to Clare Parkinson for the spot! [David]

=item *

The C<get_desk_stamps()> method in the asset classes has been deprecated (it
never worked, anyway) and will be removed in Bricolage 1.10.0. The same goes
for the C<required_satisfied()> method in Bric::Biz::Workflow. Thanks to
Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

=item *

Subclasses of the media class no longer cause errors when distributing files
via C<bric_queued>. Thanks to Jason Edgecombe for the spot! [David]

=item *

Elements created via SOAP now correctly have site IDs associated with them.
[David]

=item *

The "All" alphabetical search now properly escapes the "%" wild card
character. Thanks to Frank Holtz for the spot! [David]

=item *

The C<bric_queued> script now requires a username and password and will
authenticate the user. This user will then be used for logging events. All
events logged when a job is run via the UI are now also logged by
C<bric_queued>. [Mark and David]

=item *

Jobs now get a "Job Created" event logged when they are created. Reported by
Rachel Murray. [David and Mark]

=item *

Eliminated "Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//)" warnings when
uploading media files. Reported by Scott Lanning. [David]

=item *

Preview redirections now use the protocol setting of the preview output
channel if it's available, and falls back on using "http://" when it's not,
instead of using the hard-coded "http://". Thanks to Martin Bacovsky for the
spot! [David]

=item *

The C<has_keyword()> method in the Business class (from which the story and
media classes inherit) now works. Thanks to Clare Parkinson for the spot!
[David]

=item *

Templates that abort during calls C<preview_another()> now properly abort
when not using C<PREVIEW_LOCAL>. [Paul Orrock]

=item *

Clicking a link in the left-side navigation after the session has expired now
causes the whole window to show the login form, rather than it showing inside
the nav frame, which was useless. [Marshall]

=item *

The names of media types (a.k.a. MIME types) can now be changed without
encountering an error. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

=item *

Media type MIME Type names are now properly required in the UI. [David]

=item *

Fixed typo in the virtual FTP server which was causing an error when saving
a template. [Keith Grennan]

=item *

The JavaScript that validates form contents once again works with htmlArea,
provided htmlArea itself is patched. See
L<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1155712&group_id=69750&atid=525656>
for the htmlArea patch. As of this writing, you must run the version of
htmlArea in CVS. [David & Marshall]

=item *

The JavaScript that handles the double list manager has been vastly optimized.
It should now be able to better handle large lists, such as a list of thousands
of categories. Reported by Scott. [Marshall]

=item *

Logging now works properly with the virtual FTP server. [Keith Grennan]

=item *

Some cases in which it was impossible to add actions to a destination have
been fixed. Reported by Marshall Roch. Thanks to Jason Edgecombe for making
available a server that exhibits the problem. [David]

=item *

The virtual FTP server no longer saves a template for every line in the
template when the FTP client uses ASCII mode. Thanks to Keith Grennan for the
spot! [David]

=item *

Reverting a template to a previous version now properly updates to the
reverted version on the user's sandbox. Also, canceling a checkout now
properly removes a template from a user's sandbox. [David]

=item *

When creating a new workflow, the workflow profile no longer forgets the
selected site when you click the "New Desk" button. [David]

=item *

Changing a template in such a way that it will be deployed to a new location
(by changing the category, for example) once again deletes the previous
version from the previous location when it is deployed. [David]

=item *

Uploading a new image to a media document with a different media type than the
previous image no longer causes an Imager error. [David]

=back

=head1 VERSION 1.8.3 (2004-11-09)

=head2 Improvements

=over 4

=item *

C<make clone> now ignores files in the source directory that start with
"bricolage-". This should prevent copying previous clones into the new
clone. [David]

=item *

Added F<contrib/thumbnails/precreate-thumbs.pl> script to pre-create
thumbnails from images. Useful for upgraders. [Scott]

=item *

Added primary key to the "event_attr", "element__site", "story_uri", and
"media_uri" tables in the database. This will make it easier to do database
replication. [David and Kenneth Marshall]

=item *

Added F<contrib/bric_import_contribs> to import contributors from a
tab-delimited file. Development by Kineticode, sponsored by the RAND
Corporation. [David]

=item *

Added the C<published_version> parameter to the C<list()> methods of the
story, media, and template classes. This parameter forces the search to return
the versions of the assets as they were last published, rather than the most
recent version. This will be most useful to those looking up other documents
in templates and publishing them, as a way of avoiding pulling documents out
from other anyone who might have them checked out! [David]

=item *

For those using the Template Toolkit burner, the required version is now 2.14,
so as to take advantage of the improved Unicode support in that version.
[David]

=item *

All publishing and distribution jobs are now executed in their own
transactions when they are triggered by the user interface. This is to reduce
the chances of a deadlock between long-running publishing transactions.
[David]

=item *

The installer now requires PostgreSQL 7.3 or later. This is because 7.2
hasn't worked properly with Bricolage since 1.8.0. [David]

=item *

Optimized SQL queries for key names or that order by string values to use
indexes in the C<list()> and C<list_ids()> methods of the story, media, and
template classes. [David]

=item *

The installer will now fail to install if the version of Apache is greater
than version 1--that is, it will refuse to install under Apache 2 (for now).
[David]

=item *

Added Russian localization. [Sergey Samoilenko].

=item *

Changed the foreign keys in the story, media, and formatting (template) tables
so that C<DELETE>s do not cascade, but are restricted. This means that before
deleting any source, element, site, workflow, or other related object that has
a foreign key reference in an asset table, those rows must be deleted.
Otherwise, PostgreSQL will throw an exception. Hopefully, this will put a stop
to the mysterious but very rare disappearance of stories from Bricolage.
[David]

=item *

The distribution monitor, F<bric_dist_mon>, no longer populates HTTP headers
with lists of Job IDs for execution. Instead, it simply sends a request to the
distribution handler, and Bric::Dist::Handler looks up the jobs to execute
itself. This fixes an issue with too many headers being put into the request,
and makes the operation of Bric::Dist::Handler more efficient. [David]

=item *

A call to C<< $burner->burn_another >> in a template that passes in a
date/time string in the future now causes a publish job to be scheduled for
that time, rather than immediate burning the document and then scheduling the
distribution to take place in the future. Reported by Ashlee Caul. [David]

=item *

Improved context-sensitive help for the "New Template" profile. [Paul Orrock
and David]

=item *

Make slug actually be required when C<ALLOW_SLUGLESS_NONFIXED> isn't enabled,
in particular on the clone page. Thanks to Dharmender Yadav at Enabling
Dimensions for part of the patch. [Scott]

=item *

Removed the hack that commits a database transaction in the middle of a
request that does a "Check in and Publish", since we now require PostgreSQL
7.3 and the bug that the hacked worked around was fixed in that release.
[David]

=item *

Added missing constraint to the "type" column of the "workflow" table. [David]

=item *

Changing the sort order of a list of items in a search interface now properly
reverses the entire collection of object over the pages, rather than just the
objects for the current page. Thanks to Marshall for the spot! [David]

=back

=head2 Bug Fixes

=over 4

=item *

The localization libraries load without error again. Added tests to ensure
that this doesn't happen again. [David]

=item *

Publishing stories not in workflow via the SOAP server works again. [David]

=item *

Documents that the SOAP workflow publish finds in workflow but not on a desk
(which shouldn't happen, but sometimes does) are now just published anyway.
[David]

=item *

The Burner object's C<encoding> attribute is now setable as well as readable.
[David]

=item *

The category browser works again. [David]

=item *

Fixed the "event" table to use the correct sequence the for they id column's
default value (although the default is never used, this is a good precaution).
[David]

=item *

Fixed Media Upload bug where the full local path was being used, by adding
a 'winxp' key to Bric::Util::Trans::FS to account for an update to
HTTP::BrowserDetect. [Mark Kennedy]

=item *

A call to C<< $element->get_elements >> in an array context when the element
contains no subelements no longer returns an array reference. Reported by
Clinton Gormley. [David]

=item *

Fix bug 839 so that categories can be deleted. [Scott]

=item *

Instances of a required custom field in story elements is no longer required
once it has been deleted from the element definition in the element manager.
Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

=item *

A false value passed to the C<checked_out> parameter of the C<list()> and
C<list_ids()> methods of the story, media, and template (formatting) classes
now properly returns only objects or IDs for assets that are not checked out.
[David]

=item *

The cover date select widget now works properly in the clone interface when a
non-ISO style date preference is selected. Thanks to Susan G. for the spot!
[David]

=item *

By forcing the upgrade scripts to execute as the PostgreSQL user, running
C<make upgrade> with PostgreSQL "ident sameuser" security now works properly.
[Keith Grennan]

=item *

The C<LoadModule> and C<AddModule> F<httpd.conf> directives should now be
generated properly during installation. C<LoadModule> will use
C<config_log_module> or C<mod_log_config> depending on the system, but
C<AddModule> will always use F<mod_log_config.c>. Spotted by Dave
Jablonski. [Marshall]

=item *

Deleted sites will no longer be displayed in the site context menu in the
UI. Reported by Ed Stevenson. [David]

=item *

Sorting templates based on Asset Type (Element) no longer causes an error.
[David]

=item *

Events are now logged during the cleanup phase in alphabetical order by event
type key name, to prevent deadlocks between two transactions logging events of
the same types in different orders at the same time. [David]

=item *

Fixed a number of the callbacks in the story, media, and template profiles so
that they didn't clear out the session before other callbacks were done with
it. Most often seen as the error 'Can't call method "get_tiles" on an
undefined value' in the media profile, especially with IE/Windows (for some
unknown reason). Reported by Ed Stevenson. [David]

=item *

Fixed typo in clone page that caused all output channels to be listed
rather than only those associated with the element itself. [Scott]

=item *

Fixed double listing of the "All" group in the group membership double list
manager. [Christian Hauser]

=item *

Mail sent for alerts and the like now has DOS and Macintosh line-endings
converted to Unix so that they are displayed properly in most mail clients.
[Christian Hauser and David]

=item *

Documented required C<user__id> parameter to the C<new()> method in the story
and media classes. Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

=item *

Image buttons now correctly execute the C<onsubmit()> method for forms that
define an C<onsubmit> attribute. This means that, among other things, changes
to a group profile will persist when you click the "Permissions" button.
[David]

=item *

Media type groups now properly display their members.

=item *

The "Edit" link that showed up for categories associated with a story when the
C<ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER> F<bricolage.conf> directive has been removed. It
didn't belong there in the first place. Reported by Ho Yin Au. [David]

=item *

Simple search now works when it is selected when the "Default Search"
preference is set to "Advanced". Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

Multiple alert types set up to trigger alerts for the same event will now all
properly execute. Thanks to Christian Hauser for the spot! [David]

=item *

Publishing stories or media via SOAP with the C<published_only> parameter
(C<--published-only> for F<bric_republish>) now correctly republishes the
published versions of documents even if the current version is in workflow.
Reported by Adam Rinehart. [David]

=item *

Added upgrade script to clean out old records left in the "member" table if
users elected to delete old jobs during the 1.8.2 upgrade. [David]

=item *

Users granted a permission greater than READ to the members of the "All Users"
group no longer get such permission to any members of the "Global Admins"
group unless they have specifically been granted such permission to the
members of the "Global Admins" group. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot!

=head1 VERSION 1.8.2 (2004-11-13)

=head2 Improvements

=over 4

=item *

Added note to the context-sensitive help for the story, media, and template
search pages to search on "/" to return all records, and to use SQL wildcards
such as "%" to generalize the search. [David]

=item *

C<make upgrade> no longer copies the entire installed component root to a new
directory as a way to get rid of old UI component files. We now require that
any deleted component files get removed from an existing installation via an
upgrade script, instead. See F<inst/upgrade/1.7.0/delete_old_components.pl>
for an example. [David]

=item *

Bricolage now runs under a DSO C<mod_perl> as long as it uses a Perl compiled
with C<-Uusemymalloc> I<or> C<-Ubincompat5005>. See
L<http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used> for
details. Thanks to Marshall Roch for finding that link. [David]

=item *

The New Story and New Media profiles by default no longer have a value
selected for the Story Type or Media type (respectively), so as to prevent
the inadvertent creation of documents of the wrong type. [David]

=item *

Alerts triggered to be sent to users who don't have the appropriate contact
information will now be logged for those users so that they can see them and
acknowledge them under "My Alerts". [David]

=item *

Added F<bric_media_dump> script to F<contrib/>. [David]

=item *

The category association interface used in the story profile when the
C<ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER> F<bricolage.conf> directive is enabled now uses
radio buttons instead of a link to select the primary category. Suggested by
Scott Lanning. [David]

=item *

Search by site is now supported in the "Advanced Search" interface of "Find
Stories", "Find Media", and "Find Templates" when there is more than one site
and the "Filter by Site Context" preference is not turned on. [David]

=item *

Removed Bric::FAQ, since it is now maintained on the Website, instead. [David]

=item *

Updated Bric::Admin to suggest that PostgreSQL's C<initdb> be run with
C<--no-locale> so as to avoid collation issues with non-Western characters.
See this discussion for more information:
L<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-08/threads.php#01079>

=item *

Added a warning to the story and media profiles for when related stories and
media have been deactivated and a different story or media document should be
related.

=item *

Added output to the Apache log consisting of the 20 most recent events on an
asset that has lost track of what workflow and/or desk it is on. This is to
provide debugging information that might help us to track down when an asset
forgets its workflow and/or desk, so that we might eventually be able to
eliminate the code that picks up on this and corrects it. [David]

=item *

The distribution monitor, F<bric_dist_mon>, now prints error information to
C<STDERR> when there is an error, instead of just printing it to the system
log. [David]

=item *

Existing jobs are now executed within their own transactions, as opposed to no
transaction specification. This means that each job must succeed or fail
independent of any other jobs. New jobs are executed before being inserted
into the database so as to keep them atomic within their surrounding
transaction (generally a UI request). All this means that transactionality is
much more intelligent for jobs and will hopefully eliminate job table
deadlocks. Reported by Mark Jaroski, Serge Sozonoff, Patrick Michael Kane, and
others. [David]

=item *

The workflow, destination, and output channel profiles only display site
information if the user has EDIT access to more than one site. The "Find
Stories" and "Find Media" managers only display the site information for the
listed documents if there is more than one site in Bricolage. Suggested by
Scott Lanning. [David]

=item *

Updated documentation of parameters to the C<list()> method of
Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting (the template class). Also documented a few
parameters to the story and media class C<list()> methods that were supported
but previously undocumented. [David]

=item *

Variables are now properly decoded to UTF-8 when they are populated from the
database. [David]

=item *

The strings used in translations are now all properly decoded to UTF-8.
[David]

=item *

All templates now execute with UTF-8 character strings enabled. This means
that any templates that convert content to other character sets might need to
change the way they do so. For example, templates that had used
C<< <%filter> >> blocks to convert content to another encoding using something
like C<Encode::from_to($_, 'utf-8', $encoding)> must now use something like
C<$_ = Encode::encode($encoding, $_)>, instead. Bric::Util::CharTrans should
continue to do the right thing. In either case, you'll also need to set
the new C<encoding> attribute, as well, (see next item). [David]

=item *

Added C<encoding> attribute to Bric::Util::Burner so that, if templates are
outputting something other than Perl C<utf8> decoded data, they can specify
what they're outputting, and the file opened for output from the templates
will be set to the proper mode. Applies to Perl 5.8.0 and later only. [David]

=item *

Added example use for C<< $burner->display_pages >> to Bric::AdvTemplates.
[Cinly Ooi]

=item *

Added F<README.Mandrake>. [Cameron Miller]

=item *

Added C<SFTP_HOME> F<bricolage.conf> directive to specify the home directory
and location of SSH keys when SSH is enabled. [Cameron Miller]

=item *

Users can no longer implicitly publish related stories and media via the UI
that they don't have PUBLISH access to. [David]

=item *

Users can no longer publish related documents via the UI or SOAP that are in
workflow but not on a publish desk. [David]

=item *

Added search by output channel to "Find Templates". [David]

=item *

Previewing a document with a related media document that's checked out no
longer triggers a "Cannot auto-publish related media because it is checked
out" message. [David]

=back

=head2 Bug Fixes

=item *

The burner C<next_page_file()> and C<next_page_uri()> methods now properly
return a value if the C<burn_again> attribute has been set to a true value in
the Mason burner. [David]

=item *

The C<list()> and C<list_ids()> methods of the story, media, and template
classes no longer return C<undef> in a scalar context when there are no
objects to be returned. They return an empty array reference, instead. [David]

=item *

The C<is_fixed()> method in the story and media classes now works properly.
Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

C<make clone> once again properly copies the F<lib/Makefile.PL> and
F<bin/Makefile.PL> files from the source directory. [David]

=item *

Fixed the C<my_meths()> method of Bric::Biz::AssetType::Parts::Data to return
metadata for the the C<key_name> attribute instead of an C<undef> for the
removed C<name> attribute. [Scott]

=item *

Added missing language-specifying HTML attributes so as to properly localize
story titles and the like. Reported by Joshua Edelstein. [David]

=item *

The list of output channels to add to an element in the element profile now
contains the name of the site that each is associated with, since different
sites can have output channels with the same names. [David]

=item *

You can no longer delete a category from a story when you have also marked it
to become the primary category. Reported by Simon Wilcox. [David]

=item *

Editing notes from My Workspace now works properly. Thanks to Simon Wilcox for
the spot! [David]

=item *

The "Advanced Search" interface once again works for searching for related
story and media documents. Reported by Ben Bangert and many others. [David]

=item *

Renaming a site and its domain name now always properly renames the associated
site permission user groups. Reported by Will Trillich. [David]

=item *

The "Alias Story" interface now works properly when the C<USE_THUMBNAILS>
directive is enabled. Reported by Ben Bangert. [David]

=item *

Attempting to create a new source with the same name as an existing but
deactivated source no longer throws an SQL error, but provides a nice error
message. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

Bricolage no longer attempts to email alerts to an empty list of recipients.
This will make your SMTP server happier. [David]

=item *

The version numbering issues of Bricolage modules have all been worked out
after the confusion in 1.8.1. This incidentally allows the HTML::Template and
Template Toolkit burners to be available again. Reported by Mike W. [David]

=item *

Misspelling the name of a key name tag or including a non-repeatable field
more than once in Super Bulk Edit no longer causes all of the changes in that
screen to be lost. [David]

=item *

When a user overrides the global "Date/Time Format" and "Time Zone"
preferences, the affects of the overrides are now properly reflected in the
UI. [David]

=item *

The "Default Asset Sort" preference now actually works. Reported by Simon
Wilcox. [David]

=item *

Publishing a story or media document along with its related story or media
documents from a publish desk again correctly publishes the original asset as
well as the relateds. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

=item *

Users can now set their own values for overrideable preferences. [David]

=item *

The C<list()> and C<list_ids()> methods of the Story, Media, and Template
(F<Formatting.pm>) classes no longer have the side effect of changing values
in the hash references passed to them. This had caused problems for date/time
parameters. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

=item *

Auto-generated slugs (enabled via the C<AUTOGENERATE_SLUG> F<bricolage.conf>
directive) no longer convert uppercase characters to underscores. Thanks to
Paul Orrock for the spot! [David]

=item *

Changes made to story content in the story profile are no longer preserved
when clicking the "Cancel" button. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

=item *

The story and media profiles now clear out the session cache for the story or
media element when leaving the story or media profile. This is to prevent
perceived caching of changes that were canceled in a profile, noticed only
when one canceled an edit of a story or media document and immediately edited
the same document. [David]

=item *

Clicking the "Add More" button to add more keywords to a new category no
longer causes an error. [David]

=item *

Adding a new category to a group and asking it to cascade that group
membership into subcategories no longer causes an error. Thanks to Adam
Rinehart for the spot! [David]

=item *

Adding an existing publish desk to a workflow no longer unsets its publish
attribute. [David]

=item *

Deleted output channels no longer show up in the select list for story type
and media type elements. [David]

=item *

Deleting a workflow from the workflow manager now properly updates the
workflow cache so that the deleted workflow is removed from the left
navigation without a reboot. [David]

=item *

Creating a story, checking it in, checking it out, and then canceling the
checkout no longer incorrectly removes the story from workflow. [David]

=item *

The source of a story can now be changed. [David]

=item *

Status messages sent to the browser during previews are now hidden if an error
is triggered. [Marshall]

=item *

Publishing a document with deactivated related documents no longer causes
those deactivated documents to be published, too. Reported by Paul Orrock.
[David]

=item *

The Bricolage 404, 403, and 500 error pages now send the appropriate HTTP
header to the browser. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

=item *

The Output Channel URI Prefix and URI Suffix fields are once again allowed to
include a slash (F</>). Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

An attempt to create a new template with the proper extension as part of the
name (e.g., F<foo.mc> for a Mason template) now keeps the extension instead of
changing the dot to an underscore and adding the extension (e.g., it stays
F<foo.mc> instead of becoming F<foo_mc.mc>). This is especially useful when
creating utility templates and for users of C<bric_dev_sync>. Thanks to Paul
Orrock for the spot! [David]

=item *

When Bricolage notices that a document or template is not in workflow or on a
desk when it should be, it is now more intelligent in trying to select the
correct workflow and/or desk to put it on, based on current workflow context
and user permissions. Reported by Hal Creech. [David]

=item *

Content submitted to Bricolage in the UTF-8 character set is now always has
the C<utf8> flag set on the Perl strings that store it. This allows fields
that have a maximum length to be truncated to that length in characters
instead of bytes. Thanks to Kang-min Liu for the spot! [David]

=item *

C<< Bric::Biz::OutputChannel->list_ids >> no longer returns duplicate
IDs. This incidentally allows output channels that happen to be in groups to
be edited, eliminating the 'name "Web" is already used by another Output
Channel' error. Thanks to John Greene for the spot! [David]

=item *

The media type of media documents now defaults to "none" instead of inserting
a C<NULL> into the database. The column has also be marked C<NOT NULL> in
order to ensure that this remains the pattern. [David]

=item *

Changed the "name" and "error_message" columns in the "job" table in the
database from C<VARCHAR> to <TEXT>. This is so that we don't have to truncate
them before inserting them. [David]

=item *

Elements with autopopulated fields (e.g., for image documents) can now be
created via the SOAP interface. Reported by Todd Tyree. [David]

=item *

Fixed a number of the parameters to the C<list()> method of the Story, Media,
and Template classes to properly handle an argument using the C<ANY>
operator. These include the C<keyword> and C<category_uri> parameters. Passing
an C<ANY> argument to these parameters before this release could cause a
well-populated database to lock up with an impossible query for hours at a
time. [David]

=item *

Restored foreign keys and constraints missing on the "job" table and related
tables since version 1.8.0. [David]

=item *

The error message for failed distribution jobs is now properly displayed in
the UI. [Mark]

=item *

Fixed bug with the execution of jobs in F<bric_queued>. [Mark]

=item *

Attempting to create a new desk with the same name as a deactivated desk
no longer returns an SQL error, but a more informative error.

=item *

Template sandboxes now work for the Template Toolkit burner. [David]

=item *

The output channel and element profiles no longer display deactivated output
channels in their output channel select lists (for output channel includes in
the output channel profile and for primary output channels in the element
profile). [David]

The side navigation layer now works correctly with Internet Explorer 5.5 for
Windows. [Marshall]

=item *

More complete Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese localizations. Also,
the Mandarin localization now simply inherits from the Traditional Chinese
localization. [Kang-min Liu]

=item *

C<make clone> now copies the F<lib> directory and all of the F<bin> scripts
from the target to the clone, rather than from the sources. This allows any
changes that have been made to scripts and classes to be properly cloned.
[David]

=item *

When installing Bricolage, it will now allow you to proceed if the database
already exists by asking if you want to create the Bricolage tables in the
existing database. Suggested by Mark Fournier and Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

Added some missing translations for English. [David]

=item *

The installer is now a bit smarter in how it handles loading the C<log_config>
(or C<config_log>, as the case may be) module. [Marshall Roch]

=item *

Added ID attributes to story, media, and element profiles and "fieldcontent"
class to content field values in the "View" screens so that they can be
used as CSS selectors. [David]

=item *

Added language-specific style sheets. This is especially useful for
right-to-left languages or for languages that require special fonts. [David]

=item *

The "New Alias" search interface now displays thumbnails when searching for
media documents to alias and the C<USE_THUMBNAILS> F<bricolage.conf> directive
is enabled. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

=item *

The C<has_member()> method of Bric::Util::Grp is now faster when searching for
a specific group member. [David]

=item *

Aliases can now be made to documents within the same site. [Serge Sozonoff]

=item *

When viewing the contents of a document, the contents now have their HTML
escaped. This prevents any broken HTML in the content from breaking the
Bricolage UI. Suggested by Neal Sofge. [David]

=item *

The SOAP interface for importing and exporting elements now properly has
"key_name" XML elements instead of "name" XML elements. The changes are
backwards compatible with XML exported from Bricolage 1.8.0 servers, however.
Reported by Tony Cowderoy. [David]

=item *

Added C<move()> method to the virtual FTP interface. This means that to deploy
a template, rather than having to rename it locally to append ".deploy", one
can simply move in FTP to its new name with ".deploy" on appended to the new
name. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Document expirations are now somewhat more intelligent. Rather than just
scheduling an expiration job only if there is an expiration date the first
time a document is published, Bricolage will now always schedule an expiration
job for a document provided that one does not already exist (scheduled or
completed) for the same time and for one of the file resources for the
document. This should allow people to more easily and arbitrarily expire
content whenever necessary. Thanks to John Greene for the discussion that
finally motivated this change. [David]

Improved zh-cn translation. [Gang Luo]

Burner notes now persist for all sub burns (triggered by C<publish_another()>
and C<preview_another()> in a single burn. [Serge Sozonoff]

Keyword groups now properly display their members. [David]

=item *

Added ability to create and manage groups of objects for several different
types of objects. Also added the ability manage group membership within the

The Bulk Publish admin tool is no longer limited to use only by members of the

to the categories of stories, and PUBLISH permission to the stories and media
documents to be published. [David]

Bulk Publish now ensures that users have at least READ access to categories
they wish to publish from. [Scott]

Eliminated 'Bareword "ENABLE_HTMLAREA" not allowed while "strict subs" in use'
warning that prevented startup for some installations. [Scott]

=item *

The Mason burner now appends a "/" to the end of the category path it
specifies for burning a story. This removes the ambiguity between a directory
request and a file request, which in rare circumstances could cause unexpected
problems. [David]

=item *

Changes made to user or contributor contacts without changing any other part
of the user or contributor object are now properly saved. [David]

=item *

When cloning a story, the list of output channels to select from is now
limited to the site the current workflow is in. Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for
the spot! [David]

The upgrade to 1.8.0 now correctly updates story URIs that use the URI Suffix
of an output channel instead of using the URI Prefix twice. [John Greene]

=item *

The Advanced Search interface for stories and media now displays only the
top-level elements associated with the site the workflow is in when searching
for stories and media "By Type". [David]

=item *

Improved error logging for more recent versions of Apache, which unfortunately
escape newlines. [David]

=item *

When Bricolage discovers a document or template on a desk but not in a
workflow, it now places it in a workflows associated with the same site as the
document or template is associated with. Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for the
spot! [David]

=item *

Aliases of Image, Audio, or Video media documents no longer remain stuck on
desks. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

Related media and story subelements of media documents now work properly.
Thanks to Kang-min Liu for the spot! [David]

The distribution and SOAP handlers now load a localization object so that any
code that uses localization will work properly. Reported by Clive Jones.
[David]

=item *

The C<set_page_extensions()> method of Bric::Util::Burner now throws an
exception if duplicate page extensions are passed, rather than deferring the
exception to the creation of a distribution job, which was confusing. [Clive
Jones]

=item *

Calls to C<preview_another()> in Bric::Util::Burner will now use any templates
in the current user's sandbox and properly burn them to the preview root
rather than to the staging root used for publishing. Reported by Serge
Sozonoff. [David]

=item *

Contributor fields for roles other than the default role now properly store
and retain their values. [David]

=item *

The virtual FTP server now properly checks out templates when a template is
uploaded and is already in workflow.

=item *

Uploading a non-existent template via the virtual FTP server now correctly
creates a new template. The type of template depends on the name of the
template being uploaded, and for element templates, on whether there is an
element with the appropriate key name. The user must have CREATE permission
to All Templates or to the start desk in the first template workflow in the
relevant site.

=item *

Reverting a document or template to the current version number now properly
reverts all changes to the time the user checked out the document or
template. Reversion is also a bit more efficient in how it looks up the
previous version in the database. [David]

=item *

The SOAP server now rolls back any changes whenever an error is thrown. This
prevents problems when a few objects are created or updated before an
exception is thrown. Now any error will cause the entire SOAP request to
fail. Thanks to Neal Sofge for the spot! [David]

=item *

Changing the "Size" display attribute of a field in the Field profile (a
subprofile of the Element admin profile) now properly causes the field to
actually display in the new size. Reported by Tony Cowderoy. [David]

=item *

The table of contacts in the alert type profile is now more like other tables,
in terms of border colors, etc. [David]

The F<inst/upgrade/1.7.0/data_tile_key_name.pl> upgrade script now skips

Made SOAP modules more tolerant of lack of sites in 1.6. [Scott]

=item *

The collection API now checks newly added members when deleting members. This
ensures that newly added objects won't be saved to the database if they are
deleted, first. [David]

Turned off browser autocompletion in the Server and User profiles. This
prevents some browsers (e.g., Camino) from filling in your username and
password where it doesn't belong. [David]

When the "Filter by Site Context" preference is enabled, it no longer filters
documents when searching for documents to alias. Reported by Patrick Walsh.
[David]

=item *

The "Cancel Checkout" button in the Story, Media, and Template profiles now
tries to do the right thing instead of just leaving the asset on a desk in
workfow every time. If the asset was just created by the user, it will be
deleted. If it was just recalled from the library by the user, it will be

=item *

Added "Bulk Publish" feature in ADMIN->PUBLISHING that lets members of the
Global Admins group publish story and media documents by category. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<notes()> method to Bric::Util::Burner, along with the accompanying
C<clear_notes()>. The C<notes()> method provides a place to store burn data
data, giving template developers a way to share data among multiple burns over
the course of publishing a single story in a single category to a single
output channel. Any data stored here persists for the duration of a call to
C<burn_one()>. [David]

=item *

Added new contributed scripts for Bricolage button generation. These scripts
use the Gimp to generate localized buttons for the Bricolage UI based on the
contents of an input file. See F<contrib/button_gen/README> for details.
[Florian Rossol]

=item *

Added support for icons for all media documents when the C<USE_THUMBNAILS>
F<bricolage.conf> directive is enabled. These rely on the presence of PNG icon
files for each MIME type in F<comp/media/mime>. Only one such icons is
distributed with Bricolage, F<comp/media/mime/none.png> (borrowed from the KDE
project under L<http://artist.kde.org/new/license.html#others>), which is the
default icon when the MIME type of a media file is unknown or when no icon
file exists for the MIME type of the media file. Administrators are free to
add their own icons, and the C<copy_gnome_icons> script in F<contrib> makes it
easy to use GNOME icons. [David]

=item *

Added C<bric_template_diff> and C<bric_template_patch> scripts in
F<contrib/bric_template_diff>. These scripts can be used to sync templates
between two Bricolage servers. [Sam]

=item *

added C<bric_media_load> to C<contrib/>. This script copies media into
Bricolage while accounting for the new to update existing media. [Sam]

=item *

Added HTMLArea support. This adds a new type of field to be added to elements
and contributor types, "WYSIWYG". Such fields are then displayed in the UI
using HTMLArea, a WYSIWYG HTML editor. This can be useful in particular for
simple fields that often need emphasis added or links. It is not currently
available in Bulk Edit or Super Bulk edit. See L<Bric::Admin|Bric::Admin> for
installation and configuration details. [Eric Sellers]

=item *

The list of categories for which permissions can be granted to user groups to
access the documents and templates in the category now displays the categories
for each site separately, so that categories with same URIs (such as for the
root category in each site) can be easily told apart. Reported by Ho Yin Au.
[David]

=item *

The list of workflows for which permissions can be granted in the permissions
page now includes the parenthesized name of the site each workflow is
associated with. [David]

=item *

Modified the indexes on the C<workflow__id> and C<desk__id> columns of the
story, media, and formatting (template) tables to be more efficient, being
indexed only when their IDs are greater than 0 (that is, when a story, media
document, or template is actually on a desk and in a workflow). [David]

=item *

Added a method C<is_fixed> to story and media objects, to determine whether
a business asset has a fixed URL (for example, a Cover page). Refer to
L<Bric::Biz::Asset::Business|Bric::Biz::Asset::Business>. [Scott]

=item *

Added the C<ENABLE_OC_ASSET_ASSOCIATION> F<bricolage.conf> directive
to remove the ability to associate output channels from the story
and media profiles. [Scott]

=item *

The element administration profile now automatically adds the currently
selected site context to new elements, thus generally saving a step when
creating new elements. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Added an interface to 'Clone' for stories so that you can change the category,
slug, and cover date, because otherwise an identical story is created, which
would cause errors for some stories. Clones are no longer allowed to have URIs
that are identical to the stories they were cloned from. [Scott & David]

=item *

Added the ability to Delete from desks (same as My Workspace). Note however,
that you can't delete from a publish desk. [Scott]

=item *

Completely documented the document element classes:
L<Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile|Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile>,
L<Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Data|Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Data>,
and
L<Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container|Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container>.
This should make it a bit easier on templators learning their way around the
Bricolage API. [David]

=item *

Refactored quite a bit of the code in the element classes. Renamed the methods
with "tile" in their names to use "element" instead (but kept the old ones
around as aliases, since they're used throughout the UI). Added a few methods
to make the interface more complete. [David]

=item *

Modified the C<get_containers()> method of
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container to take an optional list of
key name arguments, and to return only the container subelements with those
key names. This is most useful in templates, where it's fairly common to get a
list of container subelements of only one or two particular types out all at
once. It neatly replaces code such as this:

  for ( my $x = 1; my $quote = $element->get_container('quote', $x); $x++ ) {
      $burner->display_element($quote);
  }

With this:

  for my $quote ($element->get_containers('quote')) {
      $burner->display_element($quote);
  }

Modified the C<get_elements()> method of
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container to take an optional list of
key name arguments, and to return only the subelements with those key names.
[David]

=item *

Added the C<get_data_elements()> method to
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container. This method functions
exactly like C<get_containers()> except that it returns data element objects
that are subelements of the container element. It also takes an optional list
of key name arguments, and, if passed, will return only the subelements with
those key names. [David]

=item *

The C<ANY()> subroutine will now throw an exception if no arguments are passed
to it. Suggested by Dave Rolsky. [David]

=item *

Added the C<unexpired> parameter to the C<list()> method of the story and
media classes. It selects for stories without an expire date, or with an
expire date set in the future. [David]

=item *

The "User Override" admin tool is now available to all users. But a user can
only override another user if she has EDIT permission to that other user. This
makes it easier for user administrators to masquerade as other users without
having to change passwords. [David]

=item *

Eliminated another SQL performance bottleneck with simple searches of media
assets. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Images with no dimension greater than the C<THUMBNAIL_SIZE> F<bricolage.conf>
directive are no longer expanded to have one side at least C<THUMBNAIL_SIZE>
pixels, but are left alone. [David]

=item *

Thumbnails are now displayed when searching media to relate to an element.
[David]

=item *

Thumbnails are now displayed in related media subelements. [David]

=item *

Added C<preview_another()> method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method is
designed to be the complement of C<publish_another()>, to be used in templates
during previews to burn and distribute related documents so that they'll be
readily available on the preview server within the context of previewing
another document. [Serge Sozonoff]

=item *

Added the C<subelement_key_name> parameter to the C<list()> method of the
story and media classes. This parameter allows searches on the key name for a
container element that's a subelement of a story or media document. [David]

=item *

Added support for all of the parameters to the C<list_ids()> method of the
Story, Media, and Template classes to the C<list_ids()> method of the
corresponding SOAP classes. This allows for much more robust searches via the
SOAP interface. [David & Scott]

=item *

Eliminated C<login_avail()> PostgreSQL function, replacing it with a partial
constraint. This not only makes things simpler code-wise, but it also
eliminates backup and restore problems where the C<usr> table is missing. The
downside is that it requires PostgreSQL 7.2 instead of our traditional minimum
requirement of 7.1. So any PostgreSQL 7.1 users will need to upgrade before
upgrading to this version of Bricolage. Suggested by Josh Berkus. [David]

Bricolage works with Perl 5.6.x again, although it's pretty strongly

The category SOAP class now correctly calls C<lookup()> with the site ID to
prevent multiple categories with the same names but in different sites from
being looked up. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

User overrideable preferences are now properly checked for permissions to
allow users with READ permission to a user to see the permissions. [David]

Apache forks, leading to strange errors such as "message type 0x49 arrived
from server while idle", and occaisionally a frozen server. [David]

=head1 VERSION 1.7.3 (2004-03-01)

=head2 New Features

=over 4

=item *

The virtual FTP server now moves templates into workflow when they're uploaded
and puts them into the user's sandbox. This behavior allows the user to test
the template changes without imposing possible bugs upon other Bricolage
users. This approach is much safer than the previous behavior, which simply
checked in and deployed a template upon upload. Templates can still be
deployed via the virtual FTP server by appending ".deploy" to their names. The
original behavior of always deploying templates upon upload can be restored by
enabling the C<FTP_DEPLOY_ON_UPLOAD> F<bricolage.conf> directive. [David]

=item *

Added C<ANY> function to be used with select parameters to story, media, and
template (formatting) list. Pass a list of values to this function to have any
of of them match for a given parameter. This is especially useful for matching
on, say, a list of URIs or category IDs. This function is automatically
available in templates. [David]

=item *

Added a feature that counts characters used in a textarea subelement on the
fly. It displays this figure and the number of characters left, immediately
above the textarea. This feature is enabled when the Max size attribute for the
textarea is given a non zero value when adding it to the element profile
stage. The JavaScript will also not allow you to have more than max size
characters in the textarea by truncating the data to that number of characters
every time someone adds another character beyond the maximum. [Paul
Orrock/Digital Craftsmen]

=item *

Added a feature to display image thumbnails in the search results and active
view for media objects that are image objects. This feature uses the Perl
module Imager from CPAN and the relevant image library for each format you
want to display. It can be turned on or off using the C<USE_THUMBNAILS>
F<bricolage.conf> directive. See
L<Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media::Image|Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media::Image>
for more information. [Paul Orrock/ Digital Craftsmen]

The F<bric_media_upload> contributed script now provides a more meaningful
error message when it can't find F<bric_soap>. [Dave Rolsky]

=item *

The F<bric_dist_mon> C<-U> option no longer requires that "/dist/" be at the
end of the URL. If "/dist/" is missing, F<bric_dist_mon> will append it.
[David]

=item *

More story, media, and template query optimization. [David]

=item *

The story, media, and template queries now use aggregates to create arrays of
group IDs, instead of returning a separate row for each individual group
ID. Since all story, media, and template objects are now returned in single
rows instead of potentially many rows, this greatly cuts down on the overhead
of fetching data from the database. Suggested by Josh Berkus; implementation
help from David Fetter. [David]

=item *

Thanks to the aggregation of group IDs into a single row for each story, media
and template object, the C<Offset> and C<Limit> parameters to the C<list()>
methods of the story, media, and template (formatting) classes are now handled
by the database back end, instead of in Perl space. This makes using these
parameters much more efficient.

=item *

Added C<-k> option to F<bric_ftpd> to kill a currently running virtual FTP
server. This is made possible by the addition of the new C<FTP_PID_FILE>
F<bricolage.conf> directive. [David]

=item *

Asset groups associated with categories are now activated or deactivated
whenever their corresponding categories are now activated or deactivated.
This prevents them from showing up in the permissions interface. [David]

=item *

Added a check box to the permissions interface to enable the display of
inactive groups. This is primarily so that permissions can be modified on
inactive category groups, since they still affect access to any documents and
templates in those categories, even after they're deactivated. [David]

=item *

Updated documentation to reflect the reality that one should really only use
Perl 5.8.0 and later if one needs to use any characters outside of ASCII.
[Andrea Rota]

=item *

Added C<FTP_UNLINK_BEFORE_MOVE> F<bricolage.conf> directive. This forces the
FTP mover to unlink an older version of a file before renaming the new version
to that name. This is necessary for some FTP servers that won't disallow
renaming a file to replace an existing file. [Andrea Rota]

=item *

Updated zh-cn and zh-tw localizations, translating all untranslated
messages and JavaScript messages. [Kang-min Liu]

=item *

Relabeled the "Pre" and "Post" attributes of output channels as "URI Prefix"
and "URI Suffix", respectively. [Serge Sozonoff]

=item *

Added C<get_element()> method to Bric::Biz::Asset::Business and deprecated the
C<get_tile()> method. This will make things a bit more consistent for template
developers, at least. [David]

=item *

Added C<primary_category_id> parameter to the story class' C<list()>
method. [David]

=item *

Updated the German localization. [Thorsten Biel]

=item *

Users can no longer sneakily add subelements for which they do not have at
least READ permission to the corresponding element via the Super Bulk
Edit. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

=item *

The list of output channels available to be included in an output channel now
has the name of the site with which each is affiliated listed as well. This is
to prevent confusion between output channels with the same names in different
sites. [David]

=item *

Changed the vertical alignment of the labels for textarea fields in the story
profile to be consistent with the labels on the element profile. i.e. top
aligned. [Paul Orrock/Digital Craftsmen]

=item *

Made the default installed "Photograph" and "Illustration" media document
types true image objects, with autopopulated fields for height, width,
etc. Suggested by Simon Wilcox. [David]

=item *

Changed the default value of the C<SMTP_SERVER> F<bricolage.conf> directive to
localhost. This has a much greater chance of working than defaulting to the
value of the C<VHOST_SERVER_NAME> directive. [David]

=item *

Eliminated the term "Asset Type" from the UI, replacing it with "Element",
"Story Type Element", or "Media Type Element", as context demands. [David]

=item *

The Contributor manager no longer presents a "New" link if the Contributor
Type on which the contributor is based has no custom fields. This will prevent
folks from creating new contributor roles in the UI only to find that Bricolage
hasn't created them because there are no custom fields. [David]

=item *

In the formBuilder interface used by the Element and Contributor Type
profiles, the default maximum length of text and textarea fields is now "0",
or unlimited. [David]

=item *

When publishing from a publish desk, you can now uncheck related assets in
order to not publish them. You can also unset the C<PUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS>
F<bricolage.conf> directive to never publish related assets. [Scott]

The de-de localization library has been fixed so that it now works. [David]

=item *

Filter by site context now works. 'All sites' context now returns results from
all sites instead of none. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Several Alert Type fixes. Rule regular expression matching (=~, !~) now
handles patterns containing slashes (important for URIs, for example).
Attributes no longer show up as stringified hash references in subject or
message variable substitution. C<$trig_password> was removed from the Profile
as it caused an error and was useless anyway. And finally, duplicate and
spurious attributes were removed from the rules and message variable
lists. [Scott & David]

=item *

Fixed Template Element list, where container elements appeared twice.
[JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

The deletion of a site now properly resets the workflows to be displayed in
the side navigation layer. [David]

Changes to site settings are now correctly reflected in the UI for all users
as soon as they are made. [David]

=item *

New media documents no longer attempt to validate URI uniqueness until a file
has been uploaded. [David]

=item *

Autopopulated fields in media elements can once again have their values
fetched in templates. This problem was due to bad key names being created for
new image elements created after upgrading to 1.7.0. [David]

=item *

The workflow profile no longer displays deactivated sites in the site select
list. Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for the spot. [David]

=item *

The upgrade script that adds the C<first_publish_date> attribute to the
database now properly sets that date for existing assets, no matter how many
"publish" events have been logged. There should be only one, but some systems
apparently have more. [Thorsten Biel]

=item *

Media, Story, and Template groups now properly display all of the permissions
that can be granted to user groups to access them. [David]

=item *

The "Next" button in the Element Type profile now correctly loads the next
page of the profile instead of returning to the manager. [David]

=item *

Fixed URI uniqueness upgrade scripts, which were having problems with
PostgreSQL permissions. [David]

=item *

C<make clone> works again. [David]

=item *

Fixed database building installer scripts to use the C<$PGHOST> environment
variable when it has been explicitly set to "localhost", both to override
existing instances of that variable on a system, and to allow tunneling
to work properly. [Thorsten Biel]

=item *

Distribution jobs can be edited via the UI again. Thanks to Marshall Roch for

Publishes once again work when the "Date/Time Format" preference is set to
something other than ISO-8601. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

C<bric_dist_mon> now I<correctly> appends "/dist/" to the end of the server
URL if it is not already appended. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

=item *

If a desk is in a template workflow and a story or media workflow, and you
attempt to publish a media or story document from that desk in the context of
the template workflow, it will now properly publish the story or media
document instead of throwing an error. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

=item *

Fixed previewing with multiple OCs. [Serge Sozonoff]

=item *

Fixed a bug in C<bric_soap story create/update> caused by refactoring in
version 1.7.0. Found by David during a demo. [Scott]

=item *

An attempt to preview a story for which no template exists now gives a
friendly error message again. This was broken by the change in 1.7.2 that made
the Mason burner use document templates as true dhandlers. [Dave Rolsky]

=item *

The workflow menus in the side navigation layer no longer disappear after a
server restart. Reported by Ben Bangert. [David]

=head1 VERSION 1.7.2 "Kat" (2004-02-12)

=head2 New Features

=over 4

=item *

Bricolage now has a much more robust security policy. Users with permission to
edit various objects and groups in the administrative interface can no longer
increase their permissions. Nor can they manage the membership of groups of
which they are not members or do not have EDIT access to the members. All this
is to prevent users from giving themselves higher permissions. [David]

=item *

Added C<publish_another()> method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method publishes
a document other than the one currently being published. This is useful when a
template for one document type needs to trigger the publish of another
document. [David]

=item *

Added new permissions "RECALL" and "PUBLISH". These permissions apply only to
asset groups, including desks, categories, and workflows. Now users must have
RECALL permission to recall assets from the library and bring them into
workflow, and PUBLISH permission to publish assets. This should make it much
easier to create more flexible permissions to manage approval
processes. [David]

=item *

Bricolage now supports per-user preferences. Admins can mark a preference as
overrideable, which allows users to set this preference to their preferred
value. [Dave Rolsky]

=item *

The character set and language preferences have been moved into the database,
so that these can be overridden by individual users if needed. [Dave Rolsky]

=item *

Added C<--published-only> option to F<bric_soap> and F<bric_republish> so that
the last-published version of a document can be republished, rather than the
current version. [Scott]

=item *

Added Bric::Util::Job::Pub. Publication can now be placed into a queue and
deferred until a scheduled time, instead of burning on command and
distributing later, Bricolage will now burn a story at the time of the
scheduled distribution. [Mark]

=item *

Added the C<bric_queued> daemon to take advantage of the new publication
scheduling of Bric::Util::Job::Pub. Together with the use of a carefully tuned
instance of Bricolage, these new features allow the Bricolage administrator
to control the amount of system resources given over to publishing. [Mark]

=item *

German localization completed. [Thorsten Biel]

=item *

Added C<get_parent()> method to Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile. This
simplifies getting access to a parent element in an element template. [David]

=item *

Added User and Desk (asset) modules to the SOAP API, added asset commands
to the Workflow module, and made corresponding changes to bric_soap. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<burn_again> attribute to the Mason burner. This method can be called
from within a template to force the burner to burn the current page again,
creating a new file. This can be useful for creating multi-file output
without extra paginated subelements. [David]

=item *

Added zh-cn localization, with translation based on zh-tw. [Kang-min Liu]

A field that is both required and repeatable now allows instances of the field
after the first instance to be deleted. Setting a field to required
essentially means that one must always be present in the UI. [David]

HTML::Template and Template Toolkit are now optional. If they're not installed
on your system, they won't be loaded by Bricolage. [David]

=item *

The default "Story Editors," "Media Producers," and "Template Developers" user
groups now have READ permission to the members of the "All Sites" group so
that they can properly select a site context and gain access to the workflows
in their site context. [David]

Fixed upgrade scripts to be more intelligent in their handling of
transactions. They no longer allow SQL errors without failing the upgrade. The
upgrade scripts have also been updated to ensure successful upgrades to
Bricolage installations as far back as 1.4.0. [David]

=item *

C<make upgrade> now suggests that the user run C<make clone> on the existing
installation, and asks the whether to continue or not. This is to encourage
folks to have a good backup before upgrading, in case the upgrade fails.
[David]

=item *

Added C<element_key_name> parameter to the C<list()> method of the story,
media, and formatting classes. This makes it easier to use the name of a story
type element, media type element, or template element to search for assets,
rather than the C<element__id> parameter, which isn't as friendly. [David]

=item *

Added "Filter by Site Context" preference. When active, search results only
return assets relative to the site context instead of all the sites the user
has access to [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

The Mason burner now uses document templates as true dhandlers, enabling full
Mason-style inheritance from autohandlers to work properly. [David & Dave

"All *" groups can now be accessed via the Group Manager. Their names and
memberships cannot be edited, but their permissions can. Inspired by a bug
report from Patrick Walsh. [David]

Queries for stories, media, and templates have been greatly optimized. Thanks
to a large database from I<The Register> and query optimization from Josh
Berkus (under sponsorship from WHO) and Simon Myers of GBDirect, searches for
stories in the UI are now 10-40 times faster than they were before (depending
on the version of PostgreSQL you're running). [David]

=item *

Added the C<story.category> parameter to the C<list()> method of
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story. Pass in a story ID, and a list of stories
in the same categories as the story with that ID will be returned, minus the
story with that ID. This parameter triggers a complex join, which can slow the
query time significantly on underpowered servers or systems with a large
number of stories. Still, it can be very useful in templates that want to
create a list of stories in all of the categories the current story is in. But
be sure to use the <Limit> parameter! Thanks to Josh Berkus for his help
figuring out the query syntax. [David]

[David]

=item *

The Template toolkit burner now correctly uses element key names instead of
names to find corresponding templates. [David]

Management of user groups in a double list manager UI no longer causes an SQL

=head1 VERSION 1.7.0 (2003-10-22)

=head2 New Features

=over 4

=item *

Added multisite support. Now all stories, media, output channels, templates,
categories, and workflows may be associated with different sites, and even
have the same names in different sites. This simplifies the management of
multiple Web sites with Bricolage. Story type and media type elements may be
shared between sites. Funded by Portugal Telecom Multimedia. [David, Arthur,
Garth, & JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Added document aliasing. Stories and media in a site may now be aliased and
published in another site, as long as the elements on which they are based
are shared between sites. Control over the content of aliased documents
remains in the original site, thus ensuring the editorial integrity of the
document for that site. Funded by Portugal Telecom Multimedia. [David]

=item *

Changed element attribute "name" to "key name" to emphasize its uniqueness
within an element. Also changed the "Display Name" to "Label" [Garth]

=item *

Added a "key_name" attribute to elements as the system-wide unique key for
each element, rather than the name. The name is now used as a label. Note that
the key name only allows certain characters, as it is used to name the
template files that format the element. This makes the C<has_name()> method a
bit simpler -- and it can in fact be ignored in favor of
C<< $element->get_key_name eq $key_name >>. Thus there may be some warnings
if older name values are passed to C<has_name()>. [Garth]

=item *

Refactored Bric::Biz::Keyword. It is now more compliant with the standard API
as defined in other classes. Also added support for keyword groups so that we
can create a keyword manager. [David]

=item *

Added C<< $burner->sdisplay_element >> method to Bric::Util::Burner. This is a
C<sprintf>-style version of C<< $burner->display_element >>. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<get_data_element()> method to
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container. This allows template
writers to more easily find a single data element object, rather than just the
value of a single data element (as C<get_data()> does). Inspired by a comment
from Bill Cappel. [David]

=item *

Added the C<YEAR_SPAN_BEFORE> and C<YEAR_SPAN_AFTER> F<bricolage.conf>
directives. These directives control how many years before and after
the current year to display in the list of years in the date and time select
widget. The default values are 10 for each, meaning that if the current year
is 2003, then the date span will be from 1993 to 2013.

=item *

Added the C<ENABLE_SFTP_V2> F<bricolage.conf> directive to make
SSH protocol 2 be tried first. [Scott]

=item *

Added "Email" action, which can be used to email the files generated by a
publish to one or more email addresses. Funded by ETonline. [David]

=item *

Callbacks were moved from Mason components to modules based on
Params::Callback and managed by MasonX::Interp::WithCallbacks. This makes the
UI layer more responsive and enhances maintainability. [Scott]

=item *

Optimized performance of URI uniqueness checks by adding database tables to do
the job, rather than constructing the URIs for all other documents in the same
categories as the document being checked. This was the last major bottleneck
affecting SOAP performance, as well as document editing in general. Funded by
Kineticode. [David]

=item *

Added C<instance()> class method to Bric::Util::Language, so that non-OO
functions can get access to the current language handle. [David]

=item *

Added C<output_channel_id> parameter to the C<list()> methods of Story and
Media to enable querying for documents in output channels other than the
primary output channel. Based on a patch from Clive Jones. [David]

=item *

Lots of notification message localization fixes. [Radu Greab]

=item *

Status message localization fixes [David]

=item *

Added "search by element type" to Advanced Search of the Find Stories
and Find Media interfaces. [Scott]

=item *

Added a preference to select Simple or Advanced search in Find Stories/Media
the default search when you go to those screens. [Scott]

=item *

Added "Select all" button to select all the checkboxes on publish desks or My
Workspace. [Scott]

=item *

Added Keyword Management interface to centrally manage keywords. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<--workflow> and C<--desk> options to create and update commands of
C<bric_soap>, so that assets can be moved to a desk at the same time as
creation or updation. [Scott]

=item *

Added Group Membership sections to most of the profiles. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Some optimizations to Bric::SOAP::(Media|Story|Template) classes. [Scott]

=item *

Added HTML::Mason Custom tags support, allowing template developers to write
code blocks that are context sensitive. See L<Bric::AdvTemplates> for
documentation on this. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Added new page extension support to the burner, which allows template
developers to set string extensions to use for successive file names, rather
than the traditional use of numeric file name extensions for successive file
names. [Clive Jones]

=item *

Added "Text to search" option in the Advanced search of Media and Stories to
search for documents based on the contents of their field. [JoE<atilde>o
Pedro]

=item *

All preview links are now generated by a single widget. This widget adds the
story or media URI to the "title" attribute of the link tag (which is modern
browsers will automatically work as a roll-over tooltip), makes the story or
media URI copyable (by relying on JavaScript to actually open a new window for
the preview), and manages selecting an output channel in which to preview a
story. [David]

=item *

Made User Group Permissions UI wieldy with larger numbers of users by adding a
select list to choose which type of Permission to look at. [Scott]

=item *

Added ability to preview stories in a selection of output channels in the View
(read-only) story profile. [David]

=item *

Combined the asset "Find" managers into a single component, thus eliminating a
lot of redundant code. [David]

=item *

Added C<contrib_id> parameter to the C<list()> methods of
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story and Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media to
return a list of story or media documents associated with a given
contributor. [David]

=item *

Switched Bric::Util::CharTrans from using Text::Iconv to Encode, thus removing
the dependency on a C library (libiconv). Note that this has changed the API
of Bric::Util::CharTrans. Its C<to_utf8()> and C<from_utf8()> methods now
always convert the argument passed in in place. They did this before for
references, but now they do it for plain strings, as well. Also note that use
of character translation also now requires Perl 5.8.0 or later. [Scott &
David]

=item *

Factored out some of the SOAP asset classes into Bric::SOAP::Asset. [Scott]

=item *

Added MediaType, Site, and Keyword SOAP modules. [Scott]

=item *

Changes to a story's slug, cover date, or primary category will now be
displayed before the story is saved. Suggested by a coworker of Andy
Baio. [David]

=item *

The Find Stories, Find Media, and Find Templates interfaces now disallow
searching for and returning all of the stories and media in the database. This
will help prevent thousands or tens of thousands of assets from being
displayed in the UI and sucking up all the resources on the server. [David]

=item *

Added "element" attribute to Bric::Util::Burner so that
C<< $burner->get_element >> should always return the element currently being
burned. [David]

=item *

Added burner-specific exceptions with context information, including current
output channel, current category, and current element. [David]

=item *

Added a C<throw_error()> method to Bric::Util::Burner so that template developers
can easily throw an exception that their users will see in the UI. [David]

=item *

Added C<best_uri()> method to Bric::Util::Burner to return the most
appropriate URI (in Bricolage's opinion) for a document. Mainly useful when
multiple sites and document aliases are used. [David]

=item *

Greatly simplified burner subclassing by adding a new registration method to
Bric::Util::Burner. This cuts down on the number of files that need to be
edited to add a new burner. [David]

=item *

Moved category selection from Media and Story Profiles into their own separate
components so that organizations with hundreds or thousands categories don't
have to load them into a dropdown list every time an asset is edited. The
category "browser" uses an interface similar to 'Associate Contributors',
which has the advantage of being searchable rather than looking through a
"long list of all categories". This feature can be enabled via the new
C<ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER> F<bricolage.conf> directive. [Scott]

=item *

Added list paging to Desks and My Workspace. [Scott]

=item *

XHTML/CSS-ized desk items. This approach is the future of the Bricolage
interface: purely structural HTML, with CSS to create the presentation.
Eventually, we'll be able to have UI preferences to change font sizes or the
entire look and feel just by switching style sheets. But for now, this change
should help with the display of desks with many items on them, and it should
also speed the display of such desks. Turn off the C<USE_XHTML>
F<bricolage.conf> directive to get the old desk views back (useful for older
browsers). [David]

=item *

Added a preference to set the default Story/Media sorting. [Scott]

=item *

Added the ability to test templates without having to deploy them by using
"template sandboxes" for each template developer. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Added Template Toolkit burner support. [Arthur/Fotango]

=item *

Added a F<bricolage.conf> directive, C<ALLOW_SLUGLESS_NONFIXED>, to prevent
slugless non-fixed (non-Cover) stories. [Scott]

=item *

Added support for installing and upgrading Bricolage with PostgreSQL on a
separate host. [Thorsten Biel]

=item *

Added context-sensitive help for pages that were missing it. [Scott]

=item *

C<make upgrade> no longer simply overwrites the contents of the UI component
root (F<$BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp>), but renames it F<$BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp.old> and
writes out a new one. This is both so that deleted UI component files don't
remain behind after an upgrade, and so that users can access any files that
they've changed in the old component root. Most users can just delete it after
upgrading. [David]

The C<$burner> object is now available in Mason template C<< <%once> >> blocks
during the syntax check, although C<$story> and C<$element> are not. All three
are in the C<< <%once> >> block during previews and publishes. This means that
they can all be used in a C<< <%once> >> block like this:

  <%once>;

      # Do stuff with $story or $element.

=head1 VERSION 1.6.3 (2003-08-12)

=head2 Bug Fixes

=over 4

=item *

Document and contributor type field information (label, options) is no longer
pushed through Locale::Maketext, thus preventing errors when element and
contributor type administrators create field options with brackets in
them. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

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. Thanks to Kevin Elliott for
the spot! [David]

=item *

Renamed events for adding fields to elements and contributor types. They were
mentioning "attributes," and now they mention "fields," instead. [David]

=item *

Updated Bric::Admin (F<INSTALL>) to instruct users encountering installation
problems to first check the list archives and post to the mailing list before
filing a bug. [Cinly Ooi]

=item *

Permissions granted on the "All" groups work again. Reported by Kevin Elliott.
[David]

=item *

Resize now works in super bulk edit. Thanks to Michael G. Kaiser for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Documented that the C<list_ids()> methods in Bric::Biz::Asset's subclasses
ignore the C<Order> and C<OrderDiretion> parameters and return an unordered
list of IDs. Reported by Clive Jones. [David]

=item *

The "Add Element" select list in story, media profiles now lists the fields
that can be added in the order specified in the element profile, and then the
subelements that can be added, instead of mixing up fields and subelements in
alphabetical order. Thanks to JoE<atilde>o Pedro for the spot! [David]

=item *

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. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

Optimized performance of Bric::Dist::Resource queries and wrote lots of tests
for them. [David]

=item *

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.

=item *

Fixed error looking up alert types in the database, which affected the alert
type manager on some platforms. Reported by Radu Greab. [David]

=item *

Deactivated alert types are once again available via the UI. [David]

=item *

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. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

Template output channel associations no longer trigger an error when importing
templates via the SOAP interface. [Clive Jones]

=item *

Passing an undef via the C<workflow__id> parameters to the C<list()> method of
Story, Media, or Template once again causes Bricolage to correctly return only
those assets that are not in workflow. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

Extra blank lines between subelement tags in super bulk edit no longer causes
an error. Thanks to Kevin Elliott for the spot! [David]

=item *

Searches no longer return unexpected results or all objects when pagination is
enabled. Thanks to Kevin Elliott for the spot! [David]

=item *

The searches for documents by beginning and ending cover dates were not
inclusive of the end date. Now they are! Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

=item *

Fixed spelling of "contributor" in the description of the contributor type
class in the database. Noticed by Radu Greab. [David]

Fixed a bug in Bric::SOAP::Media which was causing all media files uploaded
with that module to be placed in C<comp/data/media/$version/> rather than
C<comp/data/media/$id/$version/>. [Mark]

=item *

Fixed SQL bug that might in rare situations cause element output channel
associations to become confused. [David]

=item *

Fixed issue where new output channels added to a document type element were
not always actually saved as a part of that element. [David]

=item *

Fixed side navigation spacer graphic to the same width as other such
graphics. Helps Chinese Traditional to display more nicely. [Kang-min Liu]

The media simple search now searches by URI again. [Mark]

=item *

Now HTML-escaping the contents of the context content displayed for
subelements so as to prevent HTML in fields from messing up the display.
[Mark]

Fixed installer to again work with versions of PostgreSQL prior to 7.3. Thanks
to Marc Hawson for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fix for 'Can't call method "out_method" on an undefined value' generated
during a burn. [Mark]

=item *

Many minor HTML corrections. [Gerfried Fuchs]

=item *

Fix for SQL error when searching for media by file name. [David]

=item *

Eliminated 'Can't locate object method "redirect" via package
"HTML::Mason::Request"' error that caused Bricolage to actually display a
generic error page, instead of its custom error page. [David]

Alert types can once again be deleted from the alert type profile. [David]

=item *

Users can now only add subelements to a story if they have at least READ
permission to those subelements. Thanks to Mark for the spot. [David]

=item *

If the installer notices that you're attempting to install Bricolage in a
directory with an existing installation, it will suggest that you consider
running C<make upgrade>, instead. Suggested by Bruce Albrecht. [David]

=item *

The list manager now sorts version numbers as numbers rather than strings.
[JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

The media type profile again allows extensions to be added and removed.
Reported by Tobias Kremer. [David]

=item *

Added the C<CHAR_SET> directive's value to Bricolage's Apache configuration
via the F<httpd.conf> directive C<AddDefaultCharset>. Might help with some
Unicode issues. [David]

=item *

Distribution error handling is better now, with errors passed back to the
client and an error when F<bric_dist_mon> attempts to connect to a server or
URL that's not a Bricolage distribution server. [David]

=item *

Eliminated installation error 'Failed to create database: parser: parse error
at or near "template0"', which occurred with versions of PostgreSQL prior to
7.3. [Scott]

=item *

Enabled the C<PERL_LOADER> F<bricolage.conf> configuration directive and gave
it a default value that's actually useful. [David]

=item *

Perl 5.8.0 or later is now strongly recommended for better Unicode support.

=item *

Fixed deleting an Alert Type Rule. Also fixed Editing Alert Type Recipients.
[Scott]

=item *

Notes are once again saved with a document. Thanks to Scott for the spot!
[David]

=item *

Fixed an issue with FTP distribution where the incorrect FTP root was used an
invalid path. [Clive Jones]

=item *

The title and description of a story or media document are now properly
reverted when the document is reverted to an earlier version. Thanks to Scott
for the spot. [David]

=item *

Pagination now works properly when searching for groups by type in the group
manager. [Scott]

=item *

Pagination now works properly when searching for elements by element type in
the element manager and when searching for contributors by contributor type in
the contributor manager. [David]

=item *

Creating a new story that has a URI that conflicts with an existing story no
longer creates an extra story. Reported by Clive Jones. [David]

=item *

Changed "Cannot publish asset because there are no Destinations associated
with its output channels" to instead include the name of the output channel
missing Destination associations so that the user can tell which output
channels need a Destination association. [Clive Jones]

=item *

When an document's primary output channel has been changed to something other
than that defined by its document type element, preview will now correctly
use the document's primary output channel instead of the element's primary
output channel. [David]

=item *

Returning to a desk from editing an asset that was selected for editing from
that desk no longer triggers an error. Thanks to Clive Jones for the spot!
[David]

Added Localization support to widgets that were missing it. Added pt_pt
localized images. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Documents are no longer distributed to deleted (deactivated) destinations.
Reported by Mark. [David]

=item *

Eliminated several error log authentication message such as "No cookie found."
This tended only to confuse users when they were just starting to use
Bricolage. I've left in a few error messages, however, so that system
administrators can see in the log when it looks like someone is trying to hack
into Bricolage. The remaining authentication error log messages are:

=item *

Invalid username or password. Please try again.

=item *

User does not exist or is disabled.

=item *

Malformed cookie.

=item *

Cookie hash mismatch from [IP address] (Hostname '[hostname]') for user

Elements added with the same name as an existing, active or inactive element
no longer trigger an SQL error to be displayed. Thanks to Clive Jones for the

Fixed issue where adding an output channel to a document type element removed
that output channel from another document type element. Thanks to Clive Jones
for the spot! [David]

C<make clone> now properly creates F<inst/Pg.sql> instead of
F<inst/bricolage.sql>. It also once again properly resolves the circular
dependency between the "usr" table and the C<login_avail()> PostgreSQL
function. [David]

=item *

The FTP distributor now deletes existing copies of files before renaming a
temporary file when connecting to Win32 servers. This is because the IIS FTP
server doesn't seem to support renaming a file to the same name as an existing
file. [David]

Creating the database during C<make install> no longer fails if someone
is already connected to template1. [Scott]

A preview link is no longer in the "Find Media," "Active Media," desk, or "My

Various localization fixes. [Scott]

=item *

Fixed event logging for element fields. [David]

=item *

Media assets that are based on "Image", "Audio", and "Video" element types now
properly show up on desks. Note that existing media assets missing from desks
should be checked out via "Active Media" and moved to a new desk. [David]

=item *

Documented the support for passing C<%ARGS> to C<< $burner->display_element() >> 
in templates. It was added to Bric::Util::Burner::Mason a while ago, but I
forgot to document it! Thanks to Mike Slattery for the spot. [David]

=item *

Added Crypt::SSLeay to the list of optional modules to be installed. This
module is required for SOAP communications over SSL. So if you use SSL and you
use the SOAP server, you'll want to install it. [David]

=item *

Fixed alerts so that alerts are once again sent to the members of groups.
Reported by Paul Cory. [David]

=item *

Deleted alert types are no longer displayed in the Alert Type Manager. Thanks
to Paul Cory for the spot! [David]

=item *

Added more intelligent code using HTTP headers instead of HTML to prevent
browsers [IE] from caching pages. [David]

=item *

Bricolage no correctly sets the HTTP headers for the content language and
character set. Thanks to Nathan Ollerenshaw for the spot! [David]

=item *

C<make clone> now changes the user and group ownership on the cloned files to
the values for the current user (root). This is to avoid problems when
C<tar>ing up those files. [David]

=item *

Added code to Apache configuration to force JavaScript files to be served with
the proper character set HTTP header. Those who use manual Apache configuration
along with Bric::App::ApacheStartup will want to add the following configuration
directive to your F<httpd.conf>:

  <Location /media/js>
    ForceType => "application/x-javascript; charset=utf-8"
  </Location>

=item *

The virtual FTP server no longer displays templates in subcategories of the
current subcategory directory. Thanks to George Harrison for the spot! [David]

Output channel associations in story type and media type elements can now be
deleted again. Thanks to Arthur Bergman for the spot! [David]

=item *

Added the C<STORY_URI_WITH_FILENAME> F<bricolage.conf> directive, which, when
enabled, allows story URIs to include the file name. This is especially useful
in output channels where "Use Slug as File name" is enabled, since it allows
stories to essentially have identical URIs except for the file name. Off by
default. [David]

Added F<bric_media_upload>, a media file bulk import utility, into
F<contrib>. Thanks to Matt Vella for the contribution.

Granting of permission to database objects during installation has been moved
to its own make target. This is to allow it to be run by C<make upgrade>, too,
thus ensuring that the Bricolage database user always has the appropriate
permissions to access the database. [David]

=item *

Assets can once again be removed from workflow. [David]

=item *

The published version attribute is now set on templates when they're
deployed. Thanks to Geoff Richards for the spot. [David]

A value of "0" (zero) can now be given to element fields. This bug has been in
Bricolage since the beginning! Thanks to Mark for the spot. [David]

Stories with subelements containing no field elements no longer cause an
error when the container profile is looking for contextual information to
display about a a subelement. Thanks to Chris Jantzen for the spot. [David]

=item *

Bulk editing a field without first going through the element profile and
without adding or removing or reordering field elements now preserves the
data. This is another bug that has been in the code since the beginning of
time, and was only recently identified. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Fixed an obscure bug where an element with a field element and a container
element with the same ID could cause an error when one tries to edit the
container element and Bricolage tries to load the field element,
instead. Embarrassingly discovered in the middle of a presentation to the
London Perl M[ou]ngers. [David]

=item *

Minor JavaScript fix for Opera users, thanks to Kevin White. [David]

=item *

The "multi" installation method now defaults the "Bricolage Root Directory"
setting to F</usr/local/bricolage> instead of "NONE". This seems to be less
annoying to people. [David]

=item *

The F<inst/upgrade/1.5.1/asset_desk.pl> script, which is run by
C<make upgrade>, now correctly checks to see if the upgrade has already been
performed. [David]

=item *

The F<inst/upgrade/1.5.1/webdav_mover.pl> script, which is run by
C<make upgrade>, now correctly checks for the existence of the correct record
in the "class" table before inserting a new record. [David]

=item *

During C<make upgrade>, the upgrade scripts are now run I<before> the new APIs
are installed, so that there are no conflicts when using the existing API to

Creation and installation of man pages can now be avoided during
C<make upgrade> as well as during C<make>. [David]

=item *

Man pages will now be installed in the correct subdirectory of
C<$BRICOLAGE_ROOT> when using the "multi" install method. [David]

Out of the box, the Story Editors, Media Producers, and Template Developers
groups now have READ permission to access members of the "All Categories" and
"All Elements" groups, which allow them to actually create assets based on
elements and within categories. [David]

=item *

Workflow and Desk permissions are a little more sensible now. CREATE
permission can be granted for the start desk in each workflow, instead of for
the entire workflow. This allows a lower permission to be set on the workflow
(e.g., READ), and then higher permissions on the individual desks in the
workflow. [David]

The default required length for usernames and passwords has been changed from

It is once again possible to delete elements when they are not associated with
any story or media asset. [David]

=item *

The output channel profile once again only complains that the name of an
output channel is already in use if it happens to be true. [David]

=item *

Bric::Config now does its best to find a workable F<httpd.conf> file during
C<make test>. [David]

=item *

Subclasses of Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media work again, and can have
keywords associated with them, too. [David]

=item *

The "Access Denied" message is back for when someone tries to access an object
to which they don't have adequate permission. [David]

=item *

Previews of assets that are not checked out work again. [David]

=item *

Workflow and desk permissions relative to the assets they contain are now
restored to their previous behavior. Desks no longer simply inherit the
permission granted on any of the workflows they're in. This issue was resolved
by creating a new secret asset group ID for each workflow. [David]

=item *

The primary output channel is now always enabled by default in top-level
elements. This is to make it much harder to create documents without output
channel associations, an event that can lead to database exceptions. [David]

=item *

The root category now lists itself as being in the "All Categories" group only
once in the category profile. [David]

=item *

Assets will no longer appear to randomly disappear from workflow. [David]

=item *

Lots of group-related optimizations. These should greatly improve the speed

=item *

Improved testing support with lots more tests. Many more remain to be
written. See the new testing documentation in L<Bric::Hacker|Bric::Hacker> for
details. [David]

=item *

Added ability to publish assets at a future time to Bric::SOAP::Workflow.
Includes addition of new C<--publish-date> option to F<bric_soap>. [David]

FTP and File System movers now atomically copy files to their destination

Refactored and optimized the code used in the C<lookup()>, C<list()>,
C<list_ids()>, and, where pertinent, C<href()> methods in the following
classes:

=over 4

=item Bric::Biz::Asset

This work will allow permission checking to be much faster for objects of
these classes, as the relevant group IDs are now looked up for each object
when the object is looked up, rather than by a separate select for each
object, one-at-a-time. The changes also include support for a C<grp_id>
parameter to be passed to the C<list()> method of these classes as a way of
allowing a group to return a list of the objects in the group en masse, rather
than one-at-a-time from the member objects of each group. Once similar
optimizations have been made to the Bric::Biz::Assest classes, the necessary
change will be made to Bric::Util::Grp to allow this functionality. [David and
Mark]

=item *

Added object caching to the base class, and calls to it from all classes with
a C<lookup()> method to take advantage of it. The caching is only for the
duration of a request for now, but can be expanded later. [David]

=item *

Updated F<INSTALL.MacOSX> to reflect changes thanks to the new Mac OS X
support included in libapreq 1.1. [David]

=item *

Added "Super Bulk Edit", which is a bulk edit interface allowing users to
edit all of the fields in an element at once using POD-like tags, rather than
just a single repeatable field. [Garth]

=item *

Added help topic for new "Super Bulk Edit" feature. [David]

=item *

Localization and Internationalization support introduced, with a Portuguese
library to complement the default English. Most message strings have been
replaced with calls to the proper localization method. Still to be done are
strings fetched from the database (e.g. events). [ClE<aacute>udio Valente]

=item *

Localization of text images (buttons), Help, and JavaScript message added.
These still need translation, however. [David]

=item *

Added Italian translation. [Marco Ghezzi]

=item *

Documented F<bric_dist_mon> and F<bric_ftpd>. [David]

=item *

Optimized and added tests for Bric::Util::Priv's C<get_acl()> and
C<get_acl_mtime()> methods. These should make the looking up of a user's
access control list faster. [David]

=item *

Added preview link to every element profile of a story profile. [Scott]

=item *

Pared down number of default User groups by eliminating those that relate to
only a single admin menu item. [David]

=item *

Fixed code in Bric::Util::Grp where the C<has_member()> method would fail to
look up an object with an ID of 0. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

Switched exceptions from home-grown to using Exception::Class. [Scott]

=item *

The installer now offers a more meaningful message when it encounters an
existing database and the user doesn't want to drop that existing database.
[David]

=item *

Added category group association, including ability to cascade membership
assignments into subcategories, to category profile. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

The installer will no longer try to load CPAN.pm if all modules are already
installed. Thanks to Ilia Chipitsine for the prodding. [David]

=item *

The "Content" section of story, media, and subelement profiles now attempts to
display a bit of text from the first text field in each listed subelement so
that it's easier to see at a glance which subelement is which. [JoE<atilde>o
Pedro]

=item *

Switched POD testing from Pod::Checker to Test::Pod (using Pod::Simple). Fixed
the POD errors it found, too. [David]

=item *

Test suite now runs all tests with warnings enabled. [David]

=item *

Modified C<< Grp->get_objects() >> to use use the C<grp_id> parameter to
C<list()>, now that support for that parameter has been added to all groupable
classes. Also went through all existing code to make sure that it uses this
approach, rather than constructing the relevant objects one-at-a-time from
each Member object. This should provide a dramatic speedup in many
operations.

=item *

Bric::App::Session now has an C<instance()> public class method to return the
current C<%session> hash. [Scott]

=item *

Subelements can now nest. That is, they can contain themselves. Not in a story,
of course, but in the document model (element administration). [David]

Templates now have a C<published_version> attribute that properly reflects the
version of a template that was last deployed. This matches what Story and
Media have done since around version 1.3.2, and eliminates some warnings from
the error log. The UI has also been updated to properly show the deploy status
of templates. [David]

=item *

The installer should now properly detect that the Apache "log_config" module
is installed even when it's called "config_log". Thanks to Ilia Chipitsine for
the spot and the diagnostics needed to solve the problem. [David]

The publish attribute of desks can now be unset. Thanks to Sean Greathouse for
the catch! [David]

=item *

Fixed asset class date parameters to list(). The asset classes were neglecting
to change the dates passed in to list() to database dates before querying the
database. This lead to the wrong stories being returned for everyone not using
UTC as their local time zone. Thanks to Bill Cappel for the spot! [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where expired cookie resulted in a Bric::App::Session
error. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

=item *

A number of default groups where not properly added to the "All Groups"
group. Now they are. [David]

=item *

Bricolage now does more to determine the media type of uploaded media by using
both the Apache media type determination and, failing that, a file name
extension. Thanks to Todd Tyree for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed the description of the root category in the permissions profile for user
groups so that it properly displays its URI instead of its name. This only
affects the display of the root category in the permissions profile for people
who installed (rather than upgraded to) Bricolage 1.4.5 or later. [David]

=item *

An attempt to create a template with the same name and output channel as a
deactivated template now properly tells the user that the template already
exists. [David]

=item *

Fixed indexes for person objects so that they're case-insensitive. [David]

=item *

Fixed problem creating new business assets with SOAP where Bricolage was
trying to associate them with output channels twice, resulting in an SQL
Error. [David]

=item *

Fixed broken index on media type extensions. It was duplicating the index on
the media type names. It has been changed to uniquely index the media type
file name extensions. [David]

=item *

C<< Bric::Biz::Category->get_children >> now properly returns the children for
the root category. Thanks to Sam for the spot! [David]

=item *

Removed C<< Bric::Biz::AssetType->remove >>. It shouldn't be used anywhere,
and might be responsible for the mysterious disappearance of elements in
general. Thanks to JoE<atilde>o Pedro for the spot. [David]

=item *

Assigned appropriate permissions to allow the default "Story Editors," "Media
Producers," and "Template Developers" to access the default workflow and desks
relevant to them. They hadn't had that access by default before. [David]

=item *

Changed the plural name of the "Category Group" class from "Category Group" to
"Category Groups". [David]

=item *

Fixed bug introduced in 1.5.0 where stories where checked for duplicate URIs
for output channels that they weren't actually in. Thanks to Bill Cappel for
the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed duplicate URI checking for media assets so that all output channels a
media asset is in will be checked for duplicate URIs instead of just the
primary URI. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where all sources were being deactivated from their groups every
time they were saved. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where the SOAP server would throw an exception when it attempted to
handle elements without subelements. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the report.
[David]

=item *

It is no longer possible to create a story type or media type element without
a primary output channel. [David]

=item *

Deleted output channels no longer show up in the list of output channels to
associate with a destination. Thanks to Alex Epshteyn for the spot! [David]

=item *

The installer now collects Apache configuration data from any C<Include>d
files, as well. Thanks to Alex Wheeler for the spot! [David]

=item *

Media types now can be added to groups. This means that permissions can be set
so that users can administer media types. Previously, only members of the
"Global Admins" group could administer media types. [David]

=head1 VERSION 1.5.0 (2003-01-09)

=head2 New Features

=over 4

=item *

Added unit testing framework based on L<Test::Class|Test::Class> and executed
by L<Test::Harness|Test::Harness>. Tests can be run after C<make install> by
running C<make test> or C<make devtest>. The former runs tests that access
database data but execute no C<INSERT>, C<UPDATE>, or C<DELETE> commands. The
latter runs tests that can make changes to the database, and are intended to be
a full testing of Bricolage's API. Both make targets can be executed in
verbose mode by passing C<TEST_VERBOSE=1> to the make command. From now on,
all tests will be expected to pass before changes are committed to the
repository. [David]

=item *

Added F<Makefile.PL>. This is mainly a dummy script designed to mimic the
usual way in which Perl modules are installed. It doesn't actually create a
F<Makefile>, but processes the existing one, setting it up to use whatever
Perl was used to execute F<Makefile.PL> itself. The advantage to this is that
the Perl that executes F<Makefile.PL> will be used throughout Bricolage. [David]

=item *

Migrated tests in F<lib/Bric/Util/Grp.pl> to F<t/lib/Bric/Util/Grp/Test.pm>
and F<t/lib/Bric/Util/Grp/DevTest.pm>. [David]

=item *

Added F<t/Bric/Test/PodTest.pm>, which uses L<Pod::Checker|Pod::Checker> to
examine the POD in all the Bricolage modules, scripts, and test modules and
report errors. Currently, all the errors are "TODO" tests, which means that,
technically, they'll pass. But as soon as all existing POD errors are cleaned
out, errors will turn into test failures. This will help us to keep all of our
POD valid. These tests run as a part of C<make devtest>. [David]

=item *

Removed all old-style test scripts. Their contents have been copied into new
unit testing classes. These classes each execute a single test, and the old
testing contents are at the end of the file, after the C<__END__> symbol. Thus
we'll be able to use the old tests to write the new tests. [David]

=item *

Added documentation on merging CVS branches to
L<Bric::Hacker|Bric::Hacker>. [David]

=item *

Removed the URI Format and URI Case preferences and put them into Output
Channel objects, instead. They are now output channel-specific. [David]

=item *

URI format and URI case settings now properly format the URIs of media
objects, too. [David]

=item *

The slug can now be used in the Fixed URI Format. [David]

=item *

The slug can now be used for story file names. The option is supported on an
output channel basis, and will only work for stories that have a slug. [David]

=item *

Added a "and Shelve" option to the "Check In" select list in the button bar on
story, media, and asset pages. When this option is selected, the asset is
checked in and then removed from workflow without publishing. [David]

=item *

Removed the "Checkin/Publish" and "Checkin/Deploy" buttons in asset profiles
and replaced them with new "and Publish" or "and Deploy" options in the "Check
In" select list in the button bar. Doing this collects all the usual Check In
actions in one place and saves us screen real estate! [David]

=item *

Changed the way the "Checkin and Publish" and "Checkin and Deploy" callbacks
work to use existing code in the desk and publish widgets to do the dirty
work. This greatly reduces code duplication. [David]

=item *

Created a new class,
L<Bric::Biz::OutputChannel::Element|Bric::Biz::OutputChannel::Element>, which
is a subclass of L<Bric::Biz::OutputChannel|Bric::Biz::OutputChannel>. This
new class better manages the mapping of output channels to elements than the
old approach did. It also adds a new property, C<enabled>, which will be put
to use shortly. [David]

=item *

Replaced all the custom handling of output channel objects in
L<Bric::Biz::AssetType|Bric::Biz::AssetType> with a new
L<Bric::Util::Coll|Bric::Util::Coll> subclass that does it all. This is a lot
more efficient in terms of programmer time (and probably performance,
too). [David]

=item *

Modified Bric::Biz::Asset::Business to manage the association between business
assets and output channels by making use of the
Bric::Util::Coll::OutputChannel class. It also automatically adds all of the
"enabled" output channels of the element object as initial output channel
associations for new business assets. [David]

=item *

Added a new property to templates: template types. This property can have one
of three value that correspond to different template types: "Element
Templates" (those associated with elements); Category Templates" (autohandlers
in Mason parlance, category templates to HTML::Template users, and until now
"generic templates" in the UI); and "Utility Templates" (those not associated
with anything, but can be used as includes). [David]

=item *

Templates are now guaranteed to have unique file name/output channel
combinations at the API and database levels. [David]

=item *

For stories on My Workspace, replaced "Trail" with "Clone". Clicking this link
will make an exact copy of the story with the words "Clone of " prepended to
the story title. [David]

=item *

Got rid of the popup window. Now when the toolbar-less window isn't the
current window, the browser will be redirected to a a Welcome page where users
can click a link to open the new window with the Bricolage UI. [David]

=item *

Improved the interface for the association of output channels in Element
Profile. It now uses a list of output channels rather than a double list, and
a radio button to select the primary output channel. Also, each associated
output channel can be marked as "Enabled" or not, indicating whether a new
asset based on the element will by default be associated with that output
channel for publishing. [David]

=item *

On a related note, Stories and Media can now select which output channels to
be published to on a per-story basis as well as which is the primary output
channel, and the selection sticks with each version of a an asset. The list of
available output channels comes from the output channels associated with the
element on which the story or media asset is based. [David]

=item *

Bric::Util::Burner objects have a new property, C<mode>. This property
contains an integer value indicating whether a burner object is currently
publishing, previewing, or checking syntax. The value maps to the
conveniently-named constants "PUBLISH_MODE", "PREVIEW_MODE", and
"SYNTAX_MODE". [David]

=item *

The documentation in the Bric::Util::Burner class has been updated and
improved. [David]

=item *

Arguments can now be passed to the C<display_pages()>, C<display_element()>,
and C<chain_next()> methods of the C<$burner> object in Mason templates. These
arguments are passed to the templates that are executed just as they are if
you'd called C<< $m->comp >>, meaning that you can access their values via the
C<%ARGS> global and in C<< <%args> >> blocks in Mason templates. [David]

=item *

Changed the C<display_pages()> method of Bric::Util::Burner::Mason so that its
first argument can be an anonymous array of the names of different paginated
elements, and then all of those different paginated elements will be burned in
order. This allows a story to have more than one type of paginated
element. [David]

=item *

Added the methods C<prev_page_file()>, C<prev_page_uri()>,
C<next_page_file()>, and C<next_page_uri()> to Bric::Util::Burner. These
methods return the strings representing the file names or URIs of the previous
and next pages of a story, relative to the page that is currently being
burned and, in the case of the C<*_uri()> methods, appropriate to the
currently-burning Output Channel. Also updated the
L<Bric::Templates|Bric::Templates> and
L<Bric::AdvTemplates|Bric::AdvTemplates> documents to reflect these
additions. [David]

=item *

Added C<source__id> to list of criteria by which stories can be searched via
the Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story C<list()> and C<list_ids()>
methods. [David]

=item *

The Bricolage CSS document is now a static file served by Apache rather than a
Mason component processed by mod_perl. This allows the style sheet to be
cached by the browser so that it doesn't have to request it for every page in
Bricolage. It also cuts down on processing time, since it doesn't have to be
managed dynamically as a Mason component anymore. Also, all font sizes are now
specified in pixels instead of points, in order to maximize the consistency of
cross-browser font rendering. [David]

=item *

Added a new style for the template profile, so that template code is now
displayed in its textarea box in a monospaced font. [David]

=item *

The main Bricolage JavaScript library has had several other JavaScript
libraries rolled into it, and is now a static file served by Apache rather
than a Mason component processed by mod_perl. This allows the JS to be cached
by the browser so that it doesn't have to request it for every page in
Bricolage. It also cuts down on processing time, since it doesn't have to be
managed dynamically as a Mason component anymore. [David]

=item *

Added F<bricolage.conf> directive "ALLOW_WORKFLOW_TRANSFER" to allow assets on
shared desks to be able to be transferred across workflows via that shared
desk. [David]

=item *

Changed Bric::Util::Burner to set C<publish_status> after publishing, rather
than before. Thus it is only set if the publish is successful, while at the
same time templates can check C<publish_status> to determine if a story is
being published for the first time. [David]

=item *

Added C<get_more_pages()> method to Bric::Util::Burner::Mason. It returns true
if more pages remain to be burned, and false if not. However it's only
enumerated when C<display_pages()> is being used to output pages. [David]

=item *

Optimized Bric::Biz::Category to get a list of Group IDs for each category as
it is selected from the database. This prevents the C<get_grp_ids()> method
from having to query the database, which was happening for every category
object for which permissions are checked. [Mark & David]

=item *

Added event logging for keywords. [David]

=item *

Changed the code in Bric::Util::Burner::Mason to allow for new Mason burners
to be constructed and used to publish stories from within templates. This is
useful for generating tables of contents and such. [David]

=item *

Added support for the association between business assets and output channels
to the SOAP interface. [David]

=item *

Removed IO::String dependence. [Scott]

=item *

Added a FAQ. [Scott]

=item *

Added a preference for naming the Bricolage instance. [Scott]

=item *

Added search by Category URI to Find Stories. Although one could use the
search by URI feature for this before, it didn't allow for search by secondary
categories. Now stories can be searched for in both primary and secondary
categories. [David]

=item *

Added the methods C<page_file()> and C<page_uri()> to Bric::Util::Burner. When
passed a page number argument, these methods return the strings representing
the file names or URIs of the given page in the currently-burning story and, in
the case of the C<page_uri()> method, appropriate to the currently-burning
Output Channel. These methods are best used in burners that don't burn one
page at a time, such as Burner::Template. [David]

=item *

Ported to HTML::Mason versions 1.15 and higher. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<make uninstall> support to installation system. [Scott]

=item *

Added C<page_filepath()> method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method allows
burner subclasses to get the name of a file to write to the file system
without needing to figure out the file name themselves. [David]

=item *

Optimized behavior of collections (internal API). Now when an object is
deleted from a collection (for example, when a member is deleted from a
group), all the existing objects in the collection won't first be looked up in
the database. The upshot is that certain parts of Bricolage that rely on
collections, such as desks, should be more responsive. [David]

Minor documentation correction in Bric::Util::Grp::Parts::Member. [Mark]

Fixed bug in SOAP interface where container subelements added to a story or
media asset were logged as if the story type element or media type element was
added instead of the appropriate subelement. [David]

The F<bric_apachectl>, F<bric_clean_tmp>, F<bric_dist_mon>, and F<bric_ftpd>
scripts are now smarter about loading Bricolage libraries and reporting
relevant errors when they can't load Bricolage libraries. Thanks to Geoff
Richards for the patch. [David]

=item *

Category permissions are now properly checked on assets when they're not in
workflow as well as when they are in workflow. This means that if a group of
users is granted permission to access stories in a category, they can now
access those stories even if they're not in workflow. [David]

=item *

The search interface for locating media and story assets to relate to a story
now checks the permissions of the assets found and only displays the assets
for which the user has at least READ permission. Thanks to Sean Greathouse for
the spot. [David]

=item *

Reverting a media asset now properly reverts the media file itself, as well.
[David]

=item *

The "Last" field is now properly highlighted as the default order field when
displaying a list of contributors in the Contributor Manager. [David]

Contributor Association now includes search options and only
currently-associated contributors are displayed before searching. [David]

=item *

The ability to select different fields by which to sort a list of objects now
works again. [David]

=item *

The installer now checks to make sure that mod_perl is statically compiled
into Apache, since weird things tend to happen when Bricolage uses a DSO
mod_perl. [David]

=item *

Fixed reordering code for subelements. The select list for subelements should
now always have an appropriate value. [David]

=item *

The URI is now properly updated in media assets when some part of the URI is
changed in the UI. Thanks to Sean Greathouse for the spot. [David]

=item *

The Add More widget no longer throws an exception when "Add More" is clicked
and only one field currently exists. This had affected Keywords entry in
stories. Thanks to Sam for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where a user could create two assets with the same URI as long as
they were both checked out by that user. Thanks to Shannon Brown for the spot!
[David]

=item *

Date fields can now be unset. That is, if each of the select fields is set to
its label, rather than a value, it'll stay that way. This was first noticed
with the "Expire Date" in stories. Thanks to Philip Fibiger for the spot.

The burner no longer fails when it publishes an asset that's not on a
desk. [David]

=item *

SOAP now does the proper thing when deleting assets, removing them from desks
and workflow only if they're on desks and in workflow. [David]

=item *

Added support for the missing C<publish_status> parameter to
C<< Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media->list >>. [David]

=item *

Setting permissions on the assets in a category works again. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where exporting a story via SOAP containing a date field
would output the formatted date rather than the expected ISO 8601
format.  Systems with a modified date format pref would then refuse to
accept the story on import, producing an "Unable to unpack date"
error. [Sam]

=item *

Stories, media, and templates created but not saved no longer disappear into
the void. They are instead moved into workflow, put on a desk, and saved as
soon as they were created. [David]

=item *

Permissions are now properly checked for category and workflow settings when
new stories, media, and template assets are created. [David]

=item *

New templates are now active by default. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where the "Checkin/Publish" (and "Checkin/Deploy") button wasn't
provided to users who had EDIT access to a the assets on a desk. Permissions
are now properly checked and the button displayed for those who can publish

Added missing debugging statement to Bric::Util::DBI. Thanks to Mark for the
spot. [David]

=item *

The SOAP interface now properly logs events for its activities. [David]

Added C<< <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"> >> tag to the C<< <head> >> to
F<header.mc> so that the browser knows to send text back to Bricolage in the
expected character set. [Mark]

=item *

Changed the default character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. With this setting,
Bricolage does no character set translation, so it's faster. Furthermore, most
users I<should> be outputting UTF-8 in their templates, anyway. If you're not,
then you're likely finding doing charset translation in all of your templates
to be a big PITA. And if you're not doing charset translation, then you really
I<are> outputting UTF-8 in your templates, and just haven't realized it.

"Check In and Publish" now works again for Media assets. Thanks to Matt Vella

Clicking the "Check In" or "Check In/Deploy" buttons in a template profile now

=item *

Upgrading from from a version prior to 1.3.3 no longer tries to create an
index that already exists (and that will be dropped, anyway). [David]

=item *

Removed documentation for installing mod_proxy with Apache. [David]

=item *

Improved documentation for upgrading from older versions of Bricolage that
were not installed by C<make install>. Thanks to Andrew Baio for helping to
identify the problems. [David]

=item *

Added C<use Bric::Util::Grp::Keyword;> back into Bric::Biz::Keyword. This
prevents some upgraded Bricolage installations from breaking. [David]

=item *

Added Net::FTPServer and Net::SFTP to the list of optional modules. [David]

=item *

Fixed some SQL errors uncovered by the release of PostgreSQL 7.3b1. [David]

=item *

Files are now distributed on a per-output channel basis, to ensure that the
proper file is distributed to the proper destinations. [David]

Template syntax is now properly checked when using the "Checkin/Deploy"
button. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro]

The example generic template (autohandler) included in the database is now
included in the burn root, too, since it's marked as "Deployed" in the
database. [David]

Deleted output channels no longer show up in the "New Template" output channel
select list. Thanks to Daniel Fisher for the spot. [David]

=item *

The root category ("/") no longer returns itself as its own parent. [David]

Assets not in workflow are now properly logged as being checked out when
someone checks them out. [David]

Changing category names now updates the name of the category asset group
object, which appears in the user group permissions page. [David]

=item *

Hitting the "enter" key after filling in a search field now properly submits
the search as if the "Search" button had been clicked. [David]

=item *

Changed libapreq requirement in Bric::Admin to read "Apache::Request
1.0". This should make the installer install the most recent version of
libapreq, instead of relying on whatever the OS provides. [David]

=item *

Changed value of autopopulated media asset data fields to an empty string when
the value returned by the autopopulation method is C<undef>. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where autopopulated media asset data fields weren't properly
autopopulated. [David]

=item *

Fixed problem with category upgrade script failing on category data
created with 1.3.2. [Sam]

=item *

During installation, entering a directory name when prompted for the "PID File
Location" now results in Bricolage using a file called "httpd.pid" in that
directory, rather than trying (and failing) to use the directory itself as the
PID file. [David]

=item *

The side navigation layer is now better aware of its context, and changes the
colors of some of its graphics depending on the context. Also recreated the
"WORKFLOW" tab graphics. It looks like this has been broken for over a year,
and I only just noticed it! [David]

=item *

Slightly improved handling of assets that have forgotten where they
are. [David]

=item *

Checked-out templates are now displayed only once (instead of twice) in the
"Find Templates" manager. [David]

=item *

Added C<get_new_objs()> method to Bric::Util::Coll so that Bric::Util::Grp's
C<has_member()> method can see a member even if it hasn't been saved to the
database. Also changed Bric::Util::Grp to check for members in this way, of
course. [David]

=item *

Assets retrieved from the library now appear on the desk they're checked out
into only once (instead of twice). This thanks to the above-noted changes to
Bric::Util::Grp. [David]

=item *

Added upgrade script F<inst/upgrade/1.4.1/clean_desks.pl> to clean up existing
duplicate listings of assets on desks. [David]

=item *

Removed the C<checkin()> method from Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting and
Bric::Biz::Asset::Business and put it into Bric::Biz::Asset, instead, since
it's exactly the same for all assets. [David]

=item *

Fixed the display of permissions settings to be more consistent with the
design and layout of the rest of the application. Also neatened listManager
display a bit. [David]

=item *

Fixed misnamed database constraint. [David]

=item *

Templates can once again be retrieved from the library and checked out for
revising. [David]

Assets on a desk now no longer have the current desk listed in the "Move to"
select list. Even if they did, selecting the current desk would no longer
remove an asset from workflow! Thanks to Andrew Baio for the spot. [David]

=item *

The installer is now much more intelligent about prompting for SSL
information. It won't ask if you want to use SSL if it can't find mod_ssl or
apache_ssl, and will only prompt you to pick one or the other if it can find
both. [David]

Added README.MacOSX. [David]

You can now pass a date format string argument to the C<get_data()> method of
container elements in templates (and elsewhere, for that matter). This is

from a group, it will be properly removed. [David]

=item *

Media profile now display the proper category in the Category select
list. [David]

Media assets with no associated media file now generate a message indicating
that no file will be distributed, and are properly removed from workflow when
published. [David]

Some media asset events weren't getting logged properly Now they are. [David]

Database transactions are now properly maintained when publishing
assets. Everything was working, but DBI C<AutoCommit> was getting turned on,

=item *

Assets can once again be found via the "Find" pages and recalled into a
workflow without error. [David]

Module man pages are now properly installed under Perl 5.8.0. Thanks to
Michael Schwern for helping to diagnose the problem and come up with a

The select list of desks to transfer an asset to on My Workspace now includes
all possible desks, including the one for which there is a link. [JoE<atilde>o
Pedro]

All Bricolage F<.pod> files are now installed and converted to C<man> pages
along with all of the F<.pm> files. [David]

=item *

Corrected a bunch of spelling errors in this file. [David]

Calling C<get_data()> on a container element in templates (or elsewhere, for
that matter) now properly ignores container subelements. Likewise for
C<get_container()>, which how properly ignores data subelements. [David]

=item *

All of the F<.pl> and F<.tst> files in F<lib/> no longer clutter up the
distribution created by C<make dist>. [David]

=item *

Much of the POD documentation in the API classes has been cleaned up, and
converting them to man pages no longer generates any error messages. [David]

The install process will now find Apache modules in
/usr/lib/apache/modules, which is where they are in OpenBSD. Thanks to
Mark Johnson for his help tracking this one down.  [Sam]

=head1 VERSION 1.3.3 (2002-08-24)

=head2 New Features

=over 4

=item *

Revised Bric::Biz::Keyword implementation to improve performance. The new
implementation no longer relies on the Bric::Util::Grp system. Also
implemented API and database support for Media keywords. [Sam]

=item *

Added support for search Media by category and file name through the SOAP
interface and standard API. [Sam]

=item *

Added new C<--save-cookie-file> and C<--use-cookie-file> options to
F<bric_soap> to allow authentication to span F<bric_soap> calls. This can
result in significant time savings across multiple invocations. [Matt]

=item *

Added new C<--chunks> option to the F<bric_soap> tool to avoid problems with
timeouts on large workloads. Currently only supports the workflow commands
(C<publish>, C<deploy>, C<checkin>, C<checkout>, C<move>), but it will be
expanded to other long-running commands in the future. [Sam]

=item *

Improved performance of search paging. ListManager now only builds the output
rows that will actually be shown on the screen. For large data sets this
results in a huge gain in search speed. [Adam and Sam]

=item *

Revised category implementation to use explicit C<uri> and C<parent_id> fields
rather than relying on the Bric::Util::Grp system. This improves performance
tremendously for larger numbers of categories. [Jeff Pinyan]

=item *

Added new C<--continue-on-errors> option to F<bric_soap> to prevent non-fatal
errors from ending the process. [Sam]

=item *

Beautified the list paging interface. [David]

=item *

Added new Media Type manager. [Scott]

=item *

Added list reverse feature. [Scott]

=item *

Added SFTP mover. [Scott]

=item *

Add support for Apache-SSL. This required a change to the context of the
F<bricolage.conf> C<ENABLE_SSL> directive to indicate the type of SSL support:
none, apache_ssl, or mod_ssl. [Michael Robinton]

=item *

Added support for manual httpd configuration. Split out dynamic configuration
from ApacheConfig.pm and move to a new module, ApacheStartup.pm, that sets no
Apache configuration directives. ApacheConfig.pm calls this module. [Michael
Robinton]

=item *

Added F<bricolage.conf> configuration directive to force the start up process
to always write out a F<C<$TEMP_DIR>/bricolage/bric_httpd.conf> as an
F<httpd.conf> include file. [Michael Robinton]

=item *

Moved SSL key and certificate configuration from global F<httpd.conf> settings
to per virtual host via F<bricolage.conf> configuration directives. [Michael
Robinton]

=item *

Added a C<bricolage.conf> directive to force the user to always use SSL.
[Michael Robinton]

=item *

Added C<get_data()> method to Bric::Util::Grp::Parts::Member::Contrib. This
method takes a simpler scalar argument and returns the relevant attribute.
This bit of syntactic sugar makes contributor objects behave a bit more like
C<$element> objects in templates, thus simplifying things for template
developers. [David]

=item *

Categories now default to sorting by URI, and the URI is the searchable field,
rather than name. [David]

=item *

Vastly improved the speed at which categories can be imported via SOAP.
[David]

=item *

Makefile now confirms location of Apache and PostgreSQL to allow for
systems with multiple versions of each available. [Sam]

=item *

Added "make clone" command to the installation system to create
distributions based on existing Bricolage systems.  [Sam]

=item *

Added F<bricolage.conf> directive to enable/disable the browser toolbar for
debugging and development. Documented in L<Bric::Hacker|Bric::Hacker>.
[Michael Robinton]

=item *

Added support for running Bricolage with SSL support on arbitrary ports.
Previous versions required https support to use only port 80 for http and port
443 for https. With this release, Bricolage fully supports http and https
service on any ports. This allows the Apache daemon supporting Bricolage to be
run with a minimum number of children while still allowing normal http and
https service on the standard ports with a light-weight Apache daemon. See the
F<INSTALL> file (or L<Bric::Admin|Bric::Admin>) for full details and an
example installation procedure. [Michael Robinton]

=item *

Added new F<bric_apachectl> command "single". This command will start
Bricolage in single-process mode. This mode is principally useful for
debugging. [Michael Robinton]

=item *

The size of the database column that stores custom field options (such as for
select lists) has been changed to the TEXT PostgreSQL type, so that the number
of options isn't arbitrarily limited. [Matt Vella]

=item *

The group API has been approximately 75% rewritten. The goal was to optimize
its performance, since group activity proved to be a serious bottleneck to
Bricolage performance. Those interested in the nitty-gritty details of the
rewrite can read about them here:

The C<PREVIEW_MASON> configuration directive no longer is no longer defaulting
to on in one context and off in another. It is now off by default. Thanks to
Michael Slattery for the spot! [David]

Eliminated the password field type from the formBuilder interface used for
contributor types and elements. Its inclusion up to now may be considered a

Fixed bug where previewing a story assigned to multiple categories would
preview to a random category. Now the primary category is always chosen. [Sam]

Fixed display and editing of dates more than one year in the past. [Matt]

=item *

Fixed bug where setting CHAR_SET to UTF-8 in bricolage.conf would result in
blank output. [Sam]

=item *

Changed Category manager to display no categories by default, only display
them after a search. This is because some folks have a I<lot> of categories.
[David]

=item *

Fixed bug where when C<SYS_USER> and/or C<SYS_GROUP> wasn't in
F<bricolage.conf>, Bric::Config would use the username "nobody" instead of the
UID for the user "nobody". [David]

=item *

Adding a note to a story that has not yet been saved no longer causes an
error. [David]

=item *

Fixed "make dist" to work on Mac OS/X and FreeBSD. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed a problem in Bric::Util::Burner::Template where a newly added
template wouldn't be picked up by <tmpl_include>.  This was due to
caching being turned on.  HTML::Template's cache doesn't know that a
new compilation would turn up a difference <tmpl_include> so it
continues to use the old one.  [Sam]

=item *

Fixed installer to not require unneeded Apache modules (mod_proxy and
mod_rewrite). [Sam]

=item *

Fixed installer to first ask whether SSL support is desired before asking for a
specific SSL module. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed documentation bug in Bric::Admin concerning PostgreSQL paths. Thanks to
Vicki Brown for the catch. [Sam]

Fixed installation system to fail if there are errors importing the database.
Also added test for missing or empty bricolage.sql. [Sam]

Fixed installation system to support optional modules and not force users to
install them. [Sam]

Fixed bug that prevented the contents of fields to be updated through
Bric::SOAP. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed "Checkin and Publish" button to only appear if the user has permissions
to publish. [Matt]

Fixed bug where text pasted into Bulk Edit textarea box was getting words
smooshed together. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where date field elements weren't getting properly converted between
the local time zone and UTC, which is the time zone of all the dates in the
database. Thanks to Matt Vella for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed issue where Bric::Util::Grp was adding every member of a group whenever
a new member was added. This was very wasteful, and slowed performance a great
deal for groups with thousands of members. Thanks to Mark for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Added check for Category "Directory" string to make sure that no non-URL
characters are added. [Matt Vella]

Clicking "Cancel" when editing keywords in a new story now properly returns to
the story profile, rather than to the last screen before the story was

Added [Check In / Publish] button to Story Profile to checkin and
publish in one step. [Matt]

Added needs_publish() method and associated published_version database
field to Bric::Biz::Asset.  This method is now used by the publisher
to determine if something needs republishing.  Added new graphics to
display this information on the desks.  [Matt]

Moved repeated publish and preview functionality into
Bric::Util::Burner.  Updated Mason code and Bric::SOAP::Workflow
accordingly.  [Matt]

Fixed bug in DBI_DEBUG and DBI_CALL_TRACE options where non-prepared queries
(row_aref(), all_aref(), etc.) were not being logged. [Sam]

Fixed bug in Bric::Dist::Resource that was causing publish to run very
slowly by executing a bad database query. [Sam]

=item *

Related to the last item, fixed a bug in Bric::Util::Coll that would call
the href() method on a class and pass in undefined values as parameters.
This will happen if a collection is created for a new object that does not
yet have an ID. The fix thus prevents the "= NULL" SQL syntax, which always
matches nothing. The new syntax for constructing a collection has been
implemented across the API. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where the root category wasn't able to be added to a category
group. Actually, this fixes a problem where any object with an id of 0
couldn't be added to a group. Thanks to Mark for the spot. [David]

=item *

Changed mover list to be sorted in alphabetical order in the Destination
profile. This has the benefit of forcing "FTP" to be listed before "File
System" -- Hurray for case-sensitive ordering! Thanks to Sam for the
complaint. [David]

=item *

The OS for a destination server now defaults to the OS of the server on
which Bricolage is installed instead of "Mac". Thanks to Sam for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Deleted destinations will now be dissociated from output channels when
they're deleted. This prevents stories from being published to deleted
destinations. Thanks to Mark for the heads-up. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where attribute metadata wasn't getting deleted when it was
supposed to. [JoE<atilde>o Pedro GonE<ccedil>alves]

=item *

Fixed bug where some browsers submit an image button with a value stored in
the image button's name as well as in the name with ".x" and ".y" appended
to it. This caused callbacks to be triggered twice for a single field! I
noticed this with Mozilla on Mac OS X, and presume it would happen
elsewhere, too. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug in navigation bar HTML that caused the bar to disappear on
certain browsers. [Rachel Murray]

=item *

Fixed bug in Bric::SOAP where Bricolage exceptions resulted in an
uninformative "Application error" message. Now the full exception message is
displayed. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed installation to work under Debian Linux 3.0 (testing). Thanks to Mark
Jaroski for a helpful patch. [Sam]

=item *

Changed length of Bric::Dist::Job name attribute from 64 characters to 256.
This allows long asset names to be used. Also added code to Bric::Dist::Job
to ensure that the name property is truncated if it's longer than 256
characters. Thanks to Josh Cox for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where dumber browsers would submit a new template without any
Element selected. Thanks to Michael Robinton for reporting the bug. [David]

=item *

All stories and media are now required to be associated with a category. For
stories, the primary category cannot be deleted. If you want to change the
primary category, add a new category, change it to the primary, and then
delete the old primary category. This fix prevents previews and publishes
from breaking on stories and media that had no categories. Thanks to Mark for
the heads-up. [David]

An overhaul of the burn system had regressed the Output Channel preview
functionality. I've put it back now. [Mark]

Fixed numerous cases where user_ids were being used as booleans. Since user_id
0 is the Administrator's user_id this can cause problems. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed problem where deleting an asset would fail with the "cannot check-in non
checked-out version" error. [Sam]

=item *

Fixed bug in HTML::Template burner when an element name had more than one
space in it. [Sam]

Added chk_syntax() methods to Bric::Util::Burner and its subclasses. This method
will takes a template asset object and make sure that it compiles.
Bric::Util::Burner::chk_syntax() delegates to the proper subclass.

Some misspellings were corrected in Bric::Admin. Thanks to Ask Bjoern Hansen for
the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed broken "Return" buttons on related media and related story pages. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where assets weren't activated when they were created and then checked
in without clicking the "Save" button. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where a fixed story's slug was getting used in its URI. [David]

=item *

Fixed broken image autopopulation fields (compression, height, width, etc.)
[David]

=item *

Fixed broken support for audio and video files. These can be set up by the Media
Type menu in Element Types. Eventually these should arrange for some fields to
be auto-populated (e.g., bit rate, frame size, length, encoding, etc.). [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where Categories with the same directory name could not be created.
Thanks to Andrew Baio for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where a user couldn't look at her own event log if she didn't have
permission. Thank to Michael Alan Dorman for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where permissions set to access workflows and desks had no affect on
the display of workflows and desks. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Fixed bug where attempting to create a destination with the same name as an
existing but deactivated destination triggered an SQL error. Thanks to Michael
Alan Dorman for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where Workflows with spaces in their names would not create proper
submenus in the left navigation bar. Thanks to the WHO for the spot [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where the wrong story might be previewed when clicking the title of a
story in My Workspace or on a desk. [David]

=item *

Changing the category a media asset is in now correctly updates the underlying
category object and the URI without the media asset needing to be checked in.
[Matt Vella]

=item *

Eliminated "Template compile failed" errors for templates with <%init> sections.
[David]

=item *

Field elements now show up with their display names in the bulk edit select
lists, instead of with their names (which are really keys). [David]

=item *

Eliminated "Use of uninitialized value in bitwise or (|)" warnings when checking
permissions. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

=item *

Custom fields in elements and contributor types now remember their "size"
setting. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

=item *

The Element select list on the new Template profile no longer lists media
elements, since media assets don't use templates. [David]

=item *

Removed old XML::Writer stuff from Bric::Util::Burner, since I moved it to
Bric::Util::Burner::Mason a while ago and it was causing some problems. Thanks
to Michael Robinton for the spot. [David]

Fixed typo in Bric::Hacker spotted by Axel Beckert. [Sam]

Created new method of configuring Bricolage in Apache. For mod_perl 1.26 and
earlier, a custom config file will be written to the bricolage temp directory
every time Bricolage is started or restarted. For mod_perl 1.27 and later, no
temp file will be written. [David]

=item *

Added support for Mozilla (and there was much rejoicing!). [David]

=item *

Changed password for the default "admin" user to "change me now!" [David]

=item *

The slug is stored in the database for both fixed and non-fixed stories. This is
in anticipation of adding the ability to use the slug for fixed story URIs later
on. Thanks to Darren Graves for the patch.

=item *

Added DISABLE_NAV_LAYER directive. It's off by default, but if you turn it on in
bricolage.conf, the side navigation layer will be rendered as plain HTML in
every page instead of as a separate layer. [David]

Documented PERL_LOADER directive in Bric::AdvTemplates. [David]

Deleted Output Channels now properly don't show up in the Output Channel manager
again. Thanks to Sara for the spot! [David]

=item *

All previews now preview assets in the primary Output Channel only. Previously,
the previews were in the Output Channel whose name came first alphabetically.
Thanks to Sara Wood for catching this bug. [David]

Fixed bug where templates often couldn't be found by the Mason burner if the
output channel had a post_path. [David]

Fixed bug where templates often couldn't be found by the HTML::Template burner

elements. [Matt Vella]

Updated debugging code to accommodate new syntax in Cache::Cache. Thanks to Sam
Tregar for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed problem with Element names containing non-alphanumeric characters. [Sam]

=item *

Checking out media assets from "Find Media" now redirects you to the media
profile if you've checked out one media asset, or My Workspace if you've checked
out more than one. This puts it in line with how "Find Stories" and "Find
Templates" work. Thanks to Sam for the report. [David]

=item *

Fixed bulk edit functionality for Media assets. Thanks to Sam for the spot.
[David]

=item *

In Bric::Biz::Asset::Business, the source get_meth key in my_meths() now works
properly. Also, get_all_keywords() now also returns the category keywords as
well as the story keywords. Thanks to Darren Graves for the patch.

=item *

Removed quotation marks from DEF_MEDIA_TYPE setting in F<bricolage.conf>.
Thanks to Darren Graves for the spot. [David]

=item *

Sorting assets by ID in "Find X" and Workspace/Desk view now properly does a
numeric sort rather than an alphanumeric sort. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the
spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed an obscure bug where, for files uploaded as part of a Media file,
Bricolage attempted to create a path on its own file system using path
delimiters for another file system. Thanks to Mike Slattery for the spot.
[David]

=item *

Required content fields in stories and elements are now displayed in the order
specified in the Element profile. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

=item *

All assets now start with the version number 0 until the first time they are
checked in. Also, they will show up on desks and in the Find views after the
first time they are saved. It was inconsistent before, and some items could not
be seen in the desk and Find views until they were checked in. Thanks to Sam for
spotting the inconsistency. [David]

=item *

The bric_clean_tmp script has been changed to avoid deleting the Bricolage
cache file.  [Sam]

=item *

Fixed typo that broke Bric::Dist::Client. [Mike Slattery]

=item *

Fixed multiple select custom fields for Elements and Contributors. Thanks to
Mike Slattery for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed ugly bug where deleting a "Media Type" Element would delete all the media
objects of that type. Thanks to Sam for the spot (though not for the bug!).
[David]

=item *

Fixed bric_pgimport so that it uses DBI to drop and create the database, rather
than relying on a hard-coded location for pgsql binaries. [David]

=item *

Fixed permission granting in bric_pgimport so that the Bricolage database use
has DELETE permissions on all objects in the Bricolage database. It looks like
this permission was ignored in PostgreSQL 7.1 and earlier, or problems would have
shown up a long time ago! [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where the time a distribution job is scheduled was not properly
converted to UTC for storage in the database. Thanks to Mike Slattery for the
great code archaeology! [David]

=item *

Fixed the spelling of "contributor" in several spots. [Andrew Baio]

=item *

Added Context-sensitive, online help. [Sam]

=item *

Added separate interface for editing templates (via FTP). [Sam]

=item *

Added the ability to use HTML::Template Templates. [Sam]

=item *

Added ability for different Output Channels to function as different component
roots for in Mason templates. This will allow for templates that can't be found
in the current Output Channel to be searched for in other Output Channels.
[David]

=item *

Added link to Event log to Find Story, Find Template, and Find Media screens.
[David]

=item *

Added true previewing for media assets. Now, when you click their URIs to
preview them, they will be distributed to the preview server(s) before
redirecting the user to them, rather than just serving them up from where they
live on the Bricolage file system. The latter can still be accessed under
"Download" in the Media Asset profile. This will continue to be the preferred
way to grab media files for editing and such, as it will not incur the overhead
of distributing the media file. [David]

=item *

Allow only one template with a given name for a given category, element, burner
and output channel. [Sam]

=item *

Added a Maintainer section to the About page. [David]

Updated About page to mimic the layout of the help pages. [David]

Fixed a bug with local previews where a preview page could show up instead of
the Bricolage UI. Thanks to Sara for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where Mason component calls failed in previews when the
PREVIEW_MASON directive was enabled. [David]

=item *

Changed default value for text area fields added via the form builder (i.e., in
Contributor Type and Element profiles) to 0. The values 0 and "" always make the
the new field unlimited in length. [David]

=item *

Fixed a couple of buttons to be proper case rather than upper case. [David]

=item *

Separated the filesystem destinations for assets burned for publication and for
assets burned for previewing. This will prevent someone previewing and stomping
all over a published version of an asset before the published version is
distributed. [David]

=item *

Removed hard-coding of the local preview directory in httpd.conf and
httpd-ssl.conf. Now using the values stored in PREVIEW_LOCAL, instead, to
determine the proper directory. [David]

=item *

Added the DEF_MEDIA_TYPE directive. Bricolage will use the value in this
directive to assign a Media Type to all file resources if Bricolage can't
figure it out from their file extensions. This fixes a bug where Bricolage would
choke if it couldn't figure out the MediaType itself. [David]

=head1 VERSION 1.0.2 (2001-12-10)

=item *

Added "File Name" and "File Extension" properties to OutputChannels. These
properties will now be used to name files burned to the file system on
preview and publish. [David]

=item *

Added DEFAULT_FILENAME and DEFAULT_FILE_EXT configuration directives to set
default values on the "File Name" and "File Extension" Output Channel
properties. [David]

=item *

Changed Bric::Util::Burner->display_element() so that it doesn't paginate. All
paginated pages are now treated instead as regular elements. This is useful for
things like printer-friendly pages. Bric::Util::Burner->display_element()
continues to work as before. Use this method to output a separate file for each
paginated element. [David]

=item *

When errors occur while previewing stories, the leftNav is now turned off.
[David]

=item *

Browser buttons and menus are now disabled. [David]

=item *

Added ability to set permissions on assets based on the categories they're in.
[David]

=item *

Moved all session and session locking files into the "bricolage" subdirectory of
the local file system's tmp directory. You'll want to rm -rf /tmp/bricolage_*
upon upgrading. [David]

=item *

Moved the location of cache files to the "bricolage/cache" subdirectory of the
local file system's tmp directory. You'll want to rm -rf /tmp/FileCache upon
upgrading. Together with the above change, this means that all Bricolage
temporary files are stored in the "bricolage" subdirectory of the local tmp,
e.g., /tmp/bricolage. [David]

=item *

Added new program, bric_clean_tmp, that can be used in a cron job to delete
stale temporary files. [Sam]

=item *

Added an "About" page, linked from the logo graphic, that explains the name
"Bricolage" and offers the license and credits. [David]

=item *

Added PERL_LOADER configuration directive. Pass a line of Perl to this
directive, and on startup, it'll execute it in the same namespace as your
templates execute in. [David]

=item *

Added INCLUDE_XML_WRITER and XML_WRITER_ARGS configuration parameters. If
INCLUDE_XML_WRITER is turned on, then all templates will include a new global,
$writer, that is an XML::Writer object. This object is provided as a convenience
for creating XML in your templates. XML_WRITER_ARGS allows certain arguments to
be passed to the XML::Writer. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where data fields deleted from Elements were deleting them from
existing stories, too. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where stories with related media associated with them were displaying
the story as an Element rather than as a story after editing the related media.
[David]

=item *

Removed all file system location dependencies for the operation of Bricolage.
Bricolage will still assume that everything's in /usr/local/bricolage, but any
location is fine as long as the BRICOLAGE_ROOT environment variable is set to
the proper location. [David]

=item *

Added code to force all preview pages to be re-requested from the server every
time they're viewed. This prevents the browser from loading older versions from
its cache, and allows users to always see the most recently-burned output of a
story. [David]

=item *

Removed debugging information from URLs for when debugging is turned off --
which should be always in production code (e.g., releases). [David]

=item *

Elements are now displayed with their display names rather than their attribute
names. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

=item *

Fixed bug where fields (attributes) added to an Element with the name of an
existing but deactivated field triggered an error. Thanks to Sam for the
heads-up. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where data fields sometimes were not properly retrieved from the
database in Bric::Biz::AssetType. [David]

=item *

Fixed a bug where clicking "Save and Stay" in the Element profile wouldn't
delete attributes (fields) marked as such, or even delete the Element itself, if
the "Delete this profile" checkbox was checked.

=item *

Fixed a bug where, for Story and Media assets, editors were given Edit access to
notes, even when they didn't have the asset checked out. [David]

=item *

Changed the misleading and inaccurate "Two blank lines" label in the Bulk Edit
interface to the more accurate "One blank line". Thanks to Sam Tregar for the
heads-up.
