Chapter H: Changelog
2.51 (2002.10.29)
- Added Windows right-click bookmarklet functionality, where you can use a
Post to MT Blogright click option to open the bookmarklet. Thanks to Anil Dash for the code. - Added a generic
<MTElse>tag, which can be used to supply an ``else'' condition to any conditional. Thanks to Brad Choate for the code. - Added an
<$MTEntryPermalink$>tag, which does the right thing when displaying the link for an entry: if an individual archive, it is not followed by an anchor; otherwise, it is. - When rebuilding files, only rewrite the original file if the content has changed. If the content is identical, leave the existing files in place, which won't update the modification time on the file. This allows better use of caching and conditional GETs when retrieving RSS (and other files). (Phil Ringnalda)
- Removed
<lastBuildDate>from the default RSS 0.91 template and made<pubDate>what it should have been (the date of the most recent entry). This allows better use of caching and conditional GETs when retrieving RSS. - Added a no_colon attribute to
<$MTBlogTimezone$>to be used in constructing RFC822 dates, and fixed the format of<pubDate>. - Fixed bug with password-protected TrackBack-enabled categories by changing the URL to stick the passphrase into the path_info.
- Fixed ImageMagick bug where older versions of Image::Magick would cause MT to give an error
Can't locate auto/Image/Magick/Resize.alwhen creating a thumbnail. Thanks to Erin for the use of her server in figuring out the problem. - Fixed bug with anchors in permalink URLs sent in TrackBack pings. (Brenna)
- Improved titles of MT screens so as to aid navigation, etc. (Justin Hall, and others)
- Added a
<$MTSearchResultCount$>tag, which counts results across all blogs found in the search. (mcroft) - Fixed bug with the TrackBack bookmarklet and single item TrackBack, where a typo was causing the checkbox with ping URL not to appear. (Anil)
- Set charset in HTTP header to the same encoding we set in the
metatag. - Fixed problem with TrackBack URLs and servers that screw up the path info.
- Added decode_xml as a global tag attribute. (Timothy Appnel)
- Fixed bug where extra update pings would be sent on already-pinged entries, if the entries were saved from the preview screen.
- Added a SafeMode config setting, on by default, to check for security and/or other issues and disallow them, but which can be turned off.
- Disallow certain file extensions from being used in linked file templates, for security purposes: .cgi, .pl, .pm, and .cfg, if you're running in SafeMode. Thanks to Michael Croft for the note.
- Made ``Edit your Profile'' description clearer so that users know they select their language there. (Eduardo Arcos)
- Added PublishCharset option to mt.cfg to override the character encoding corresponding to your Preferred Language.
- Fixed bug with finding ppmquant when creating thumbnails of GIF images; MT::Image was looking only in the PATH.
- Changed text of
MORE...link in default templates toContinue reading E<lt>$MTEntryTitle$E<gt>, to clearly identify the target of each link (for accessibility purposes). Thanks to Timothy J. Luoma for the suggestion. - Fixed bug in import where auto-extracted titles were only copied, not cut out of the entry body. Also, fixed a bug where multi-line titles would not be recognized between ``title start'' and ``title end''.
- Added CONFIGURATION SETTINGS section to the manual with a description of all of the available mt.cfg settings.
- Fixed bug where archive config screen didn't work properly if it was viewed in a non-English language.
- Added a check for whether an alternate template (AltTemplate) has been specified for a given Template name in search. If not, give an error. The system previously gave a much more confusing error.
- Added option to
<MTGoogleSearch>to pull query from entry keywords. (Jason Trommeter) - Fixed
Can't use "No title" as a method namebug (l10n-related). - Fixed bug in dc:date in TrackBack RDF (no
T). (Phil Ringnalda) - You can now add the Keywords field to your bookmarklet.
- Keywords are now exported and imported properly.
- Fixed bug with
<MTPings>showing all pings in the system if an entry doesn't have TrackBack enabled, but the tag is used. - Fixed bug with the password recovery screen. (fmt)
- Added numeric check for limit to be used in SQL query. (Michael Stillwell)
- Fixed TrackBack URL when it contains a passphrase on category edit screen.
- Fixed
?link for Local Archive Path in upload popup. It was showing the Local Site Path. (tylerted) - Fixed a bug in MT::ObjectDriver::DBM that caused range searches not work when using join. This wasn't actually breaking anything in MT, but it was still a bug.
- Fixed a bug where AdminCGIPath was used where it shouldn've have been. (Jeremy Beker)
- Work around decimal places in old versions of MySQL with blog timezone.
- Fixed perl doc typo in MT::Placement. (Sen Nagata)
