Cuyahoga release notes

===========================================================================
2.0.0 Alpha - 2009-12-11
===========================================================================
Cuyahoga 2.0.0 Alpha is a huge new release where a lot of things have
changed to make it a better platform. As the name indicates, it's an Alpha
release and many things still can change between this release and the final
2.0 release. Upgrading from previous versions is not supported yet and only
SQL Server (Express) is supported as a database.

DON'T USE THIS RELEASE IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

New features:
- New site administration (Cuyahoga manger), build with ASP.NET MVC and 
  jQuery. The new manager contains many improvements that should make site
  management a lot easier.
- Content abstraction: all content items (such as Article, 
  StaticHtmlContent, FileResource) inherit from ContentItem to allow for a
  much more generic handling.
- Site-wide categories: all content items can belong to one or more 
  categories. Categories can be nested.
- Comments: all content items can have comments.

Improvements:
- Medium trust is supported
- Site isolation: all sites have their own directory in /SiteData that 
  contains templates, user files and full-text indices.
- Roles are restricted to a single site or global.
- More granular permissions for site administration.  
- Configurable HTML editor. Currently, TinyMCE is the default.

Missing features from 1.6.0:
- Custom menu's (on root nodes)
- File and image browsers in the HTML editor (the old FCKeditor browser 
  doesn't work anymore because the content files are located in site-
  specific directories).
- Offline pages
- Google sitemap support

===========================================================================
1.6.0 - 2009-03-12
===========================================================================
Cuyahoga 1.6.0 is a maintenance release that mostly consists of small admin
UI improvements and bug fixes. Many thanks to Marco Trova for the 
contributions.

New Features:
- A Sitemap handler for Google sitemap spec. 
- Vietnamese translations (thanks to Juan Woang).

Improvements:
- Hide the moduletools div for unauthorized users (CUY-149).
- Register custom Javascripts and CSS links for module controls and module
  admin pages. Thanks to John Lynch (CUY-153).
- Admin: You can take a page offline (and related child pages), showing a 
  special template (definited in site admin).
- Admin: buttons at the top of the page instead only at the bottom of the 
  page on Node Edit and Section Edit pages.
- Admin: Added Admin linkbutton on each section on node to access directly 
  to the "Edit" link of a section (Admin page).
- Edit Template: edit html code of template ascx and css (this requires 
  special permission on server's folder).
- Admin: Duplicate a Node.
- Admin: Preview the page, opening a new window, without std admin links.
- .NET 3.5 compatibility: renamed Cuyahoga.Core.Communication.Action to
  Cuyahoga.Core.Communication.ModuleAction to fix the naming conflict
  with System.Action (CUY-145).
  
Bug fixes:
- Handle error that occures when entering invalid search terms (CUY-147)
- Fixed display of search query duration.


===========================================================================
1.5.2 - 2008-02-20
===========================================================================
Cuyahoga 1.5.2 is a maintenance release, especially targeted at Mono 
compatibility. Cuyahoga now builds and runs on Mono-1.2.6 with xsp2.
Check out Readme-mono.txt the distribution for mono-specific instructions.

Improvements:
- Temp dir for the TransactionalFileService is configurable in 
  properties.config (used by Downloads module).

Bug fixes:
- Resolved issue with Mono compatibility. (CUY-138)

===========================================================================
1.5.1 - 2008-02-14
===========================================================================
Cuyahoga 1.5.1 is a maintenance release that includes bug fixes and uses
new versions of external libraries.

A special note for people using custom modules that use NHibernate and 
don't ship with Cuyahoga: this release is not a drop-in replacement! 

Cuyahoga 1.5.1 uses NHibernate 1.2.0 to make it possible for module 
developers to use new features of NHibernate like generics. NHibernate 
1.2.0 breaks existing modules that use NHibernate 1.0.x. Before upgrading
Cuyahoga to 1.5.1, you have to make sure that your modules are compatible 
with NHibernate 1.2.0. See http://www.hibernate.org/407.html for the 
migration guide. 

If you're not interested in the new features of NHibernate and have no
stability issues with Cuyahoga 1.5.0, it's probably wise to stay on 1.5.0.

New features:
- Swedish translations for modules and core.

Improvements:
- Modules are now loaded all at once at application startup. The previous
  construction with lazy loading appeared to be a little unstable under
  high load. (CUY-142)
- Modules that are not used can be deactivated, so they won't be loaded
  at startup. (CUY-142)
- Added link to add new child node in the node tree on the left, so people
  won't have to look for ages to find the button on the bottom of the 
  screen. (CUY-143)
- It's possible to have content placeholders in user controls that
  are placed in the templates.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed issue with template management when a wrong path was entered.
  (CUY-93)
- Removed empty link in template for Admin when not logged in as admin.
  (CUY-110)
- Fixed issue with duplicate cultures in culture list. (CUY-125, CUY-129)
- Fixed bug with custom settings that we're not visible after selecting
  a module with no custom settings. (CUY-126)
- Fixed deleting a section that is attached to a template. (CUY-133)
- Fixed possible issues with url rewriting when Cuyahoga runs at the root
  web site. (CUY-135)
- Fixed issue with cultures in the site edit page. (CUY-136)
- Fixed problems with RemoteContent module not updating the content 
  properly. (CUY-141)

Libraries:
- Upgraded NHibernate to 1.2.0
- Upgraded Castle to 1.0 RC3
- Upgraded log4net to 1.2.10
- Upgraded Npgsql to 1.0.1
- Upgraded FCKeditor to 2.5.1

Thanks to everybody that contributed to this release!

  existing search module. This module makes it possible to have a global
  search box with creating a section with this module and attaching the
  section to a template.
  
Improvements:
- Allow modules to insert their own stylesheets. 
  BREAKING CHANGE: In custom template controls 
    <link id="CssStyleSheet" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server" />
  must to be replaced with
    <asp:literal id="Stylesheets" runat="server" />.

===========================================================================
New features:
- Module connections. A module can implement two interfaces, 
  IActionConsumer and IActionProvider. This allows connecting of different
  sections across pages.
- Sections in templates. Before, a section was always related to a node 
  (page) in the site hierarchy. From now, it's possible to define 
  stand-alone sections or detach existing sections from a node. When
  editing template properties, it's now possible to attach a stand-alone 
  section to a placeholder in the template. The section appears on every 
  page that uses the template.
  
Improvements:
- Upgraded to NHibernate 1.0.0.0.
- Removed special mapping files for Mono because dynamic proxies work on
  Mono.
- Removed references from the Web project to NHibernate.

Bugfixes:

===========================================================================
0.9.0 - 2005-10-05
===========================================================================
New features:
- Added a web based installer that installs or upgrades the database at the
  first run.
- Added a module installer. If a module has a specific directory structure
  with database scripts, you can now install, upgrade or uninstall modules
  from the site administration.

Improvements:
- Support for .NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005
- The User module can be configured to show or hide links to registration,
  reset password and edit profile pages.
- The RemoteContent module is able to read feeds that have dates that 
  differ slightly from the format that .NET accepts.

- Better error handling with invalid urls.
- Added sort options for Articles.
- Navigating from the site administration to the actual site and 
  vice-versa is much improved.
- When omitting publishing dates for articles, default dates are issued.
- Cleaned up database installation scripts.
- Upgraded NHibernate to 1.0 RC3.
- Upgraded FCKEditor to 2.0.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed issues with stalling downloads in the Downloads module. Resuming
  downloads is also supported now.

  Danzl.
- Fixed bug with nodes that link to external pages where the target setting
  was not respected.
- Fixed bug with pager control in the Articles module administration.
- The RSS feeds now validate in the feed validator.
- Fixed issue in the RemoteContent module with feed items without
  publication dates.
- Fixed issues with node and section positioning.
- Fixed some issues with the calendar control and non-english languages.
  There might still be some issues left because the language scripts that
  come with the calendar are not entirely complete for every language.

===========================================================================
0.8.2 - 2005-07-20
===========================================================================
Improvements:
- Added support for alternative urls (https, different ports). Thanks to
  Tomislav Tustonic for the heads up.
- A node can now serve as a link to an external page or site.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed issues with NHibernate second level cache that caused a nasty delay
  when adding or removing nodes and sections.

===========================================================================
0.8.1 - 2005-06-29
===========================================================================
Improvements:
- The downloads module is a little more user-friendly.
- Overall stability is increased due to testing under heavy load.

Bugfixes:
- Attaching multiple NHibernate sessions to the same object or collection
  causes an exception.
- If the first request after a server restart is an RSS feed, an exception
  is thrown at this first request.
- Displaying unknown filetypes in the Downloads module fails.
- The order of the files in the Downloads module changes after downloading
  a file.
- RSS feed failure on Mono.

===========================================================================
0.8.0 - 2005-06-11
===========================================================================
New features:
- RemoteContent module. This module consumes external RSS feeds and 
  displays the content. Currently only RSS 2.0 is supported.
- Downloads module. Publish files on the web site that are available as
  download for site visitors. The permissions (allowed roles) can be set
  per file.
- Timezone support for logged-in users. All display dates are adjusted to
  the timezone of the user.
  
Improvements:
- Friendly readable urls (configurable per site).
- Security settings of nodes can be propagated to child nodes and sections.
- Allow persisten logins.

Bugfixes:
- Edit hyperlinks show up when the user only has view access.
- Deleting nodes fails when they are in a custom menu.
- Removing nodes leaves the order of the nodes in an inconsistent state. 


===========================================================================
0.7.0.1 - 2005-04-04
===========================================================================
- Fixed bug when registering a new user (LastLogin should be NULL, but was 
  DateTime.MinValue).
- Fixed bug in PostgreSQL create script (showtitle in section).


===========================================================================
0.7.0 - 2005-03-29
===========================================================================
New features:

- Custom menus. You can now add custom menu's to every placeholder in the 
  template. The menu items point to existing nodes in the site. Visibility
  of nodes in the regular navigation/menu's can be turned off.
- Site aliases. A site has a default url that consists of the host and the 
  application name. A new feature was added to map alternative url's to the
  site, or a specific node in the site.

Improvements:
- All related template controls, stylesheets and images  are 
  now grouped in subdirectories in the Templates directory. The default 
  installation comes with two subdirectories, 'Default' and 'Classic'. Css 
  files always have to be in the Css subdirectory (for example, 
  'Templates/Default/Css').
  BREAKING CHANGE FOR EXISTING USERS: The path of the Template controls
  is now split into a base path (for example 'Templates/Default') and the 
  name of the template control ('CuyahogaNew.ascx'). After upgrading, 
  reorganize your physical files just like the default files and then go
  to the template adminstration and correct the values for the base path,
  template control and css.
- Templates can be changed any time now, even if there are sections 
  attached. Cuyahoga displays a warning when sections belong to a
  placeholder that is not found in the selected template.
- Support for MySQL 4.0 (was 4.1 and above).
- The site url doesn't care anymore about casing or trailing slashes.
  
Bugfixes:
- When there are ModuleSettings in the database that can not be found as
  a type, Cuyhoga throws an exception instead of returning null (and 
  causing a lot of misunderstanding).
- The calendar control now handles all regional settings for dates.
- Converted all table and column names to lowercase, because of errors
  with MySQL on Linux. It's more consistent now too.
  
Thanks to Ayende Rahien, Richard Bourque and sleuth for the heads up.
