What's new in each version of Interchange
(in development since the version 5.6 branch)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See UPGRADE document for a list of incompatible changes.
Interchange 5.8.0 released on _____
Core
----
* Increase SEO value of more links.
* Allow passing params to error tag, which are replaced (same functionality as [warnings]). Useful for localization.
* Add support for multiple lib paths from ENV.
* Use Vend::Safe instead of vanilla Safe in UI::Primitive.
* Embed Safe 2.07 into Vend::Safe to avoid various problems with recent versions of Safe.
* Add enclair_db option to UserDB.pm. Allows logging of enclair password to separate, presumably
insert-only, database table. Designed to allow administration personnel to look at passwords,
without allowing access to web-connected systems. Or perhaps more properly, to check prior
MD5-encrypted password values for repeat passwords.
* Add new DBI sub, foreign_hash().
* Increase size of socket read for much better performance
* Extend PREFIX-include to work in hash-based loops
* New "rawsort" attribute, fixed sort attribute whitespace problem.
* Fix rare error with DowncaseVarname handling of GET/POST parameter names
* Added ID attribute to "pseudo" state dropdown so both actual state value and display can be updated via jquery
* Fix MV_SESSION_ID when using IPv6
* Add new database configuration attribute PREQUERY.
* Add optional cache exprire variable as pointed out here: http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2003-June/033985.html
* Enforce integer weights when writing to ups_cache database
* Have taxable_amount() check for item-level discounts too
* Encode UI error message to eliminate XSS
* Fix bug in parse_dir_array
* Teach read_cookie() to return all cookie when an empty cookie name is provided
* Add utility function cookies_hash to return all current cookies as a hashref
* Allow extra_fields to set and retrieve scratch values.
* Allow setting of 'HttpOnly' on cookies, using Pragma.
* Relax regular expression for UTF8 locale used in [convert-date] tag.
* Encode contents of html attribute properly if email body is empty.
* Ensure that we use a UTF8 locale for strftime in [convert-date] tag. Otherwise it causes a crash
with "Malformed UTF-8 character".
* New UserDB option for read-only attribute
* Add simple tag to generate user-friendly passwords
* Set MV_PASSWORD cookie to be secure if set from a secure page
* Fix logging messages for Jobs so ErrorDestination can redirect them
* Suppress error message in [assign] when using the documented behaviour of passing an empty string.
* Caching-related fixes for captcha refresh.
* Allow to override item tax calculation with tax value in $Items as tax rates may vary between items.
* Force scalar context for is_yes and is_no
* Replace broken check for Encode in [email] tag by looking at MINIVEND_DISABLE_UTF8 environment variable.
* Use proper content type for HTML only emails.
* Add link-target attribute to [menu] tag.
* Add tree-master attribute to [menu] tag.
* Fix cart title in standard's cart_display component.
* Fix displayed price on stock_alert_added page.
* Fix bug where hash keys are not properly escaped in uneval.
* Allow gift certificates to be counted correctly as one item by [nitems] tag.
Payment
-------
* Add HSBC payment module.
* Update Payflow payment module.
* Add Cardsave payment module.
* Pass through AllowNote parameter to PayPal.
* Fix handling of extra_query_params in Business::OnlinePayment wrapper.
* Fallback to credentials without sandbox_ prefix and fail properly if credentials are incomplete.
* Update to PaypalExpress 1.1.0, requires Date::Calc now.
* Update Worldpay payment module to version 1.0.2.
* Update credit card type detection.
Standard Demo
-------------
* Improved localization support for standard's receipt and order pages.
* Apply fixes and updates to German translation for standard store.
* Show test order link on standard's front page only if MV_DEMO_MODE is set.
* Enable UTF-8 in standard catalog.
* Add optional default for customer's country to standard's catalog.cfg.
* Remove PriceDivide from standard's locale database.
* Add DEFAULT_PAYMENT_MODE variable to standard's variable database.
Admin UI
--------
* Fix undeclared variables in meta editor admin page.
* Fix hardcoded path to order counter file in standard's log_transaction.
External tool support
---------------------
* Added jEdit support for [PREFIX-calc] blocks, now syntax highlights contents as perl code
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.7.7 released on 2011-06-12.
Core
----
* Ensure users were always assigned sessions when using major
browsers, regardless of any toolbar matches in the User Agent
string.
* If we are running an or search and not all of the specs have equivelant sql
specs (WHERE clauses) then don't try to optimize the query as doing so will
cause records to not be returned that might match other specs.
* Allow customization of "DO ANOTHER" HTML block in the table editor. The DO
ANOTHER block contains hard-coded text and return-pages used for radio buttons
which is always displayed for new entries. This change allows customized HTML
to replace it for when you want to use the table editor in your own custom
admin pages.
* Strip bad characters from affiliate source. These characters cause problems
in the usertrack log (and possibly other places) if they are allowed to remain
in the source.
* Remove newline from errormessages to be able to parse locale of it
* Fix a bug in the [read-cookie] tag which in very specific rare
circumstances could return the wrong value for a cookie.
* Fix a bug in parsing of TemplateDir directive with multiple directories
on a single line (RT#318).
Thanks to Mat Jones for the report.
* Fix for processing GDBM files while using UTF8.
* Add additional UserDB encryption options.
* Add pragma handling for setting the Cache-Control header.
* Enhance TrustProxy to handle multiple chained proxies.
* Multiple bugfixes to payment modules.
* Fixes when sending UTF-8 email.
Tags
----
* Allow sorting of forum entries.
Standard Demo
-------------
* Fix for adding items to cart with options shows expired page message. Thanks
to Steve Graham <icdev@mrlock.com>.
* Fix for country selection drop down.
Thanks to Paul Jordan <paul@gishnetwork.com>.
* Fix for state selection drop down for Ireland.
Thanks to Paul Jordan <paul@gishnetwork.com>.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.7.6 released on 2010-03-23.
Core
----

to be exploitable in the standard demo, but could potentially affect
other pages in rare circumstances.

supplemental parameters.

So we have 'British Columbia', 'BC', and now 'B.C.' formats.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.7.4 released 2009-12-09.
Core
----
* Make the default session 'spider' variable reflect $Vend::Robot status,
which more accurately says whether the request was made by (what
Interchange considers) a spider, not just any old temporary session.
* Force raw encoding for file uploads (RT #268).
* Overhaul syslog support and offer much faster Sys::Syslog mechanism.
* Move parsing of CGI input to Vend::Dispatch::open_cat (#268).
* Fix bug related to [tag pragma name value] semantics being different
than [pragma name value].
* Increased performance when using mv_max_matches with searches:
* Make mv_max_matches stop all further searching once the limit is
hit, rather than loading the entire result set into memory and
then truncating it.
* Add pragma max_matches, which takes precedence over user-supplied
mv_max_matches unless the user-supplied argument is more restrictive.
* Provide a default implementation of mime_name for compatibility with
older versions of Encode.pm.
* Recognize LWP::UserAgent as a robot.
SystemTag
---------
* Avoid encoding binary data in [deliver].
Debian packaging
----------------
* Eliminated commands with absolute paths in maintainer scripts.
* Added Spanish translation of Debconf templates.
Admin UI
--------
* Multiple cleanups and minor performance enhancements.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.7.3 released 2009-11-05.
Core
----
* Fix empty charset= lines when no $Vend::StatusLine was previously set.
* Allow POST with Content-type of application/json.
* Remove empty mv_arg from more-list links.
* Cleanup some POD documentation.
* Fix crash with TolerateGet and upload forms (#325).
* Show discount error message that was missing. Fixed by Jeff Boes.
* Die on errors in global configuration of crontab.
* Stop display of invalid user-provided session ID. Should not be XSS
exploitable, since displayed in text/plain context, but don't show anyway
in case any browser does improper content-type handling.
* Avoid XSS exploit in CGI input error. Reported by Justin Otten.
* Add BounceRobotSessionURL directive to 301 redirect robots which
provide an explicit mv_session_id to the canonical page URL without
the explicit mv_session_id. This prevents search engine urls from
being indexed with an explicit session_id.
Tags
----
* Remove reference to deprecated Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Big module in
backup-database tag.
* Allow passing of "id" to the [display] tag. It will be output in the form
element and a label element will be created to match, if appropriate.
Example 1:
[display id=category options=|
=--select--,
1=Junior High School,
2=High School,
3=College,
4=Graduate School,
| value="[evalue category]" type=select name=category]
Output (bring your own <label for=category>):
<select name="category" id="category">
<option value="" SELECTED>--select--
<option value="1">Junior High School
<option value="2">High School
<option value="3">College
<option value="4">Graduate School
</select>
Example 2 (label elements provided):
[display name=publish_email value="[evalue publish_email]" type=radio
passed="0=No,1=Yes" blank_default=1 id=publish_email]
Output:
<input type="radio" name="publish_email" value="0" id="publish_email0">
<label for="publish_email0">No</label>
<input type="radio" name="publish_email" value="1" id="publish_email1" checked>
<label for="publish_email1">Yes</label>
Standard Demo
-------------
* Correct bounces to nonexistent error pages.
* Fixed bug that causes options to not show up on the checkout receipt, or the
order report, or the mail reciept for most or all items.
* Fix problem that prevented unsubscribing from all mailing lists.
Debian packaging
----------------
* Keep virtual host name supplied by user.
* Move CSS & image files from /var/www/interchange-5 to
/usr/share/interchange-ui.
* Use virtual host instead of system hostname as server name for demo catalog
if FullUrl is enabled.
* Updated translations of Debconf templates.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.7.2 released 2009-09-17.
Core
----
* Close remote disclosure security vulnerability, and added new configuration
option AllowRemoteSearch to selectively re-enable remote searches on "safe"
tables. Defaults to products, variants and options.
Please see UPGRADE for important information on upgrading your
catalogs to prevent any problems.
* Fix validate_charset to return mime charset names only.
* Enable catalog usertags within dispatch routines.
* Add SpecialSub order_missing (#221).
* Make TAX_CATEGORY_FIELD work as intended, where a colon-separated table and
field will work as well as a simple field in the same table as the item.
* Add environment variable MINIVEND_DISABLE_UTF8 which allows us to
skip the Encode module entirely.
Since "no encoding" does not remove the tie from regexes to Encode,
but only disables it, you can't use that method. You have to literally
not include Encode in the module namespace. This environment variable
prevents require/import of the module if it is set true.
It also adds a Global UTF8 directive that would normally not be, but could
be, set by the user. This disables UTF8 with "no encoding", which should avoid
some of the Perl UTF8 insanity but still won't avoid a potential "require" or
"dofile" on a simple regex.
* Change Vend::CharSet away from the quasi-object style of programming
(i.e. Module->routine()), since this module is only used internally.
This will improve performance if/when a large number of CGI parameters
are passed.
* Pass data to be encoded by Vend::CharSet by reference. While the
Encode module inexplicably won't operate on references, at least we
can avoid slinging hundred-megabyte files by value for what ends up
being a no-op. Should you have to decode the data, it will still be
slow but it will be limited to that eventuality, not every uploaded
file.
* Vend::Interpolate::taxable_amount: Remove unnecessary calls to item_subtotal
and thus the database. Thanks to Josh Braegger <jbraegger@backcountry.com>.
* Unit tests: Test various values access methods. Fix some [query] test
corner cases.
* Add new child-process tag and core support routines. This tag runs
ITL code in a forked child process. Useful for offloading processes
that take a relatively long time to complete.
* link programs:
* Make HTML just a tad more modern.
* Make message configurable in config.h.in.
* Alter compile_link.PL to allow error message to be built from a file.
Uses four lines, concatenating remainder of file into one big line 4.
Tested with 70K file with many double-quotes, newlines, and carriage
returns.
* Add status option to make compile_link.PL to make error status
configurable.
* Add status option to make compile_link.PL to make error content type
configurable.
* Fix rare bug that caused requests to / URL with a query string to fail, e.g.:
http://hostname/?somevar=1
Interchange in that case looked for a page called "/?somevar=1".
Thanks to David Christensen <david@endpoint.com> for the fix.
* Correct .access functionality directly in pages/
.access worked in subdirectories like pages/abc/, but didn't work directly
under pages/.
* BounceReferrals changes:
* Fix bug that kept query strings from being passed through due to use of
nonexistent %$CGI::Values instead of %CGI::Values.
* Remove mv_pc and mv_source to prevent redirection loops.
* Don't generate a "process" URL for root URL; use DirectoryIndex instead,
if available.
* Make [email] process cc and bcc options for plain text emails (#250).
* Allow catalogs to be set to have Perl always global by default.
AllowGlobal catname
PerlAlwaysGlobal catname
This is a global directive (i.e. interchange.cfg).
[perl global=0] will still be honored, i.e. that will be interpreted
by Safe.
* Allow catalogs to turn off "strict" in global mode by default:
PerlNoStrict catname
This is a global directive (i.e. interchange.cfg).
This is intended as an easy way to allow catalogs to work all right
with Vend::Charset. Sad, but can't think of any better way short of
maintaining our own version of the UTF8 modules. It is really sad,
because the Perl powers that be have totally abandoned Opcode and
Safe.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY NON-SOPHISTICATED INTERCHANGE USERS.
* Correct issue with hi-bit characters in search strings.
This corrects the "Wide character in subroutine entry" error that
occurs when hi-bit characters are used in a search. The failure was
caused by Digest::MD5's reluctance to process characters > 0xFF, so we
just convert any search options to UTF8 before calculating the MD5.
* Add support for SHA1 encrypted userdb passwords.
* Add new "promote" feature. When active, and passwords
of any of the other algorithms are present, on next
login the user's password will be promoted to the
target hashing algorithm. This way, password strength
can be increased organically.
Use of SHA1 passwords can be specified in the same manner
as currently MD5 can be:
UserDB ui sha1 1
To utilize the promotion feature, you add a similar line
for the UserDB definition:
UserDB ui promote 1
Promote implies that strength is increased, but in reality
promotion will move in any direction desired. The requested
hashing algorithm is the target, and whatever the form of the
passwords in the database, they will be converted to the target.
E.g., if neither sha1 nor md5 is specified, and the database
currently has md5 passwords, if promote is added, it will have
the effect of promoting to crypt(), the target hashing algorithm
(which happens to be the default).
If promote is not used, the change is fully backward compatible.
Whatever method is specified will be used, and if the database
has passwords of a different algorithm, authentication will fail.
You should not specify more than 1 hashing type. If you specify
both md5 and sha1, you'll be subject to the whims of hash
ordering from keys().
Also note that, before promoting to a stronger hash, you should
ensure your database's password field is long enough to hold the
new, longer datum.
Original work from Steven Jenkins <steven@endpoint.com> for
framework of promotion code.
* Add global timeout feature for payment gateways.
The different payment gateways all tend to implement their own timeout features
with varying degrees of success. In particular, LWP-based clients do not appear
to have any capability of passing a timeout by the developer whenever it uses
the https protocol. Thus, the use of LWP's timeout feature is illusory and
forces any activity to a 180s timeout.
The new feature completely separates out the gateway activity with a fork,
giving it reliable control over the duration of the gateway request. It also
eliminates the need for each gateway module to implement its own timeout,
either because the developer chose not to, didn't consider it, or because the
developer discovered it was hopeless to do so using LWP.
The feature is invoked using the "global_timeout" option in the payment route,
or as an opt passed to [charge]. global_timeout should be any positive integer,
which will define the number of seconds until the timeout is triggered. If this
new option is not used, the effect is a no-op, with behavior identical to that
prior to the feature. No changes in config means completely backward
compatible.
Additionally, a new "global_timeout_msg" option is available so that the
message produced if the alarm fires can be customized within the payment route.
E.g.:
Route payflowpro id "__PAYFLOWPRO_ID__"
Route payflowpro secret "__PAYFLOWPRO_SECRET__"
Route payflowpro partner "__PAYFLOWPRO_PARTNER__"
Route payflowpro vendor "__PAYFLOWPRO_VENDOR__"
Route payflowpro host "__PAYFLOWPRO_SERVER__"
Route payflowpro transaction A
Route payflowpro global_timeout 20
Route payflowpro global_timeout_msg "We're sorry ... [etc.]"
* Add DowncaseVarname config. Given a space- or comma-delimited list of CGI
params, Interchange will accept those params in any case from the query
string and force them to lower case. Developed primarily to address affliates
creating URLs with "mv_pc" but using inconsistent case in the URL, and thus
Interchange missing it.
* Add new SessionCookieSecure boolean catalog directive. When enabled, makes
session cookie set in https usable only in https.
* Add new SourcePriority catalog directive.
SourcePriority <source_list>
<source_list> is a prioritized list of cgi variables to get the source
(affiliate) name from. Can also include the following:
mv_pc - has the current special casing of mv_pc, (ie RESET is special as
are values that contain only digits).
cookie-foo check the cookie with the foo label.
session - stop here if session already exists, do not check any further
variables.
session-foo - stop here if foo session variable is set.
Default: SourcePriority mv_pc mv_source
Examples:
Check the MV_SOURCE cookie for an affiliate name as well as the other defaults:
SourcePriority mv_pc mv_source cookie-MV_SOURCE
...as above, but you don't want your affiliates using mv_pc:
SourcePriority mv_source cookie-MV_SOURCE
Check the cgi variable affid instead:
SourcePriority affid
Say you send affiliate traffic to other sites, and you don't want
those sites to get credit for sales if a customer follows a banner from
them back to your site:
SourcePriority session mv_pc mv_source
If you want affiliates who use the specialsource cgi variable instead of
mv_source to get special treatment and can override customers who
already have sessions:
SourcePriority specialsource session mv_pc mv_source
If you want to allow affiliates to get credit if there is a
session but only if no other affiliate is already set:
SourcePriority session-source mv_pc mv_source
* Add directive SourceCookie, support for persistent affiliate tracking.
Setting SourceCookie defines the relevant attributes of a cookie to be
maintained in conjunction with the usual session-only parameter
$Session->{source}. Its usage eliminates the duration of the user's session as
the limiting factor for applying credit to a referral.
SourceCookie and SourcePriority would be expected to typically work in tandem,
and thus the same cookie defined in both contexts. However, there is no such
requirement to do so. Defining SourceCookie by itself merely makes the cookie
available any time the core source routines set or manipulate
$Session->{source}. That cookie may, or may not, be leveraged as an element in
SourcePriority, which itself may look to a cookie not maintained by
SourceCookie.
SourceCookie supports the following attributes:
* name (required)
* expire (any format supported for [set-cookie])
* domain
* path
* secure
* autoreset
autoreset is a boolean that, when true, will cause each request from the client
to reset the cookie in the response, effectively refreshing the expiration time
relative to the current time. Uses, for example, might include a desire to
ensure that the source cookie last "forever" (autoreset + sufficiently long
expire period) or for more obscure uses such as "Affiliate should last [value
of expire] from the last request".
Attributes may be positional in order of (name expire domain path secure), but
it is recommended that they be expressed as key=value pairs for clarity.
Example using both SourcePriority and SourceCookie together in catalog.cfg:
SourcePriority mv_pc mv_source cookie-MV_SOURCE
SourceCookie name=MV_SOURCE expire="180 days"
* Add reload of AutoModifier based on a prepended ! (exclamation point).
Example:
AutoModifier !download pricing:price_group
The download attribute will be recomputed for the current sku when
the cart is recalculated.
* Add ability to merge user logins with merged_user field. When the
user logs in, their username is changed to the value of the ID in
that field. No default, so not operational in standard demo catalog.
Enabled with:
UserDB default merged_user merge_to
That would look in the database field "merge_to" for a user name
to change to.
* Force re-configure on compile_link --force.
* table_editor/flex_select: Add ability to link "edit record" to custom
page with custom parameter. Also can now change "edit record to
something else like "view user".
* Fix table editor bug found by Jeff Boes <jeff@endpoint.com> which
prevented custom widget type from working.
* Add shorthand to allow beginning/ending year with date widget name
(i.e. yearbegin1934, yearend0000 where 0000 means current year).
* Add ability to configure the number of levels and hash length for
the directory structure of file-based sessions. Instead of a fixed
value of 2 and 1 for levels and length, respectively, make two
configuration parameters named SessionHashLevels and SessionHashLength
Default is 2 and 1, respectively, matching the current values.
This solves the problem of session IDs passed from CGI::Session or other
modules that use a quasi-sequential session ID. You end up placing all
sessions in the S/2 directory for a long time, followed by the S/3 directory,
etc. A setting of:
SessionHashLength 4
SessionHashLevels 1
would break sessions up into separate directories instead of putting all
sessions in a huge directory.
* Encoding and fallback for reading/writing files while in UTF-8 mode.
* New adjust_time() function allows time adjustment based on secs, mins, hours,
days, weeks, months and years. Also can string multiple adjustments together
and compensate for daylight savings time changes over the adjustment period.
* _set_acl() in UserDB.pm now uses adjust_time() instead of time_to_seconds().
* Fix MaxQuantityField to allow a null, blank, or non-numerical entry in the
field to represent that no maximum quantity should be enforced for that
product.
* Minor updates to default robot detection configuration.
* Fix omission of media type in <link> output of [css].
Patch by Thomas J.M. Burton <tom@globalfocusdm.com>.
* Allow synonym evalue for value in [if] checks.
* Add Vend::Safe abstraction to fix problems with UTF-8 inside Safe.
* Fix crash that occurred with an empty AutoModifier.
* Allow Interchange daemon to start with no Catalog declarations.
* Unbuffer output as soon as possible to make regular & error messages stay
in sequence during startup.
* Abort daemon startup when required module is missing and clean up error output.
* Update broken getppid() detection for Perl 5.10.0.
* Do not specify a default charset if none is passed via MV_HTTP_CHARSET.
Thanks to Raymond Cheng <rayonnet@hotmail.com> for pointing out the regression
caused by this.
* Always log route_order errors regardless of errors_to setting.
* compile_link was confusing the -s socketfile option with the new -S status
because Getopt::Long ignores option case by default. This fixes the problem
by passing the no_ignore_case config parameter to Getopt::Long.
* If the flypage SpecialSub returned a non-existent SKU then a blank flypage
would be displayed (with no data). This is now fixed so that there is no
difference to what happens without a SpecialSub.
* New areapage SpecialSub that allows you to change the page name passed to the
[area] family of tags and functions before the tag processes the page name.
* Various UTF-8 support fixes.
* Add NoBlankLines option to and clean up error HTML in Interchange::Link.
* Fix XSS exploit in account creation username check error display (RT #306).
Thanks to Carl Bailey for reporting the problem.
* Clean up UserDB error output by excluding Perl file & line output.
* Fix PreFork mode daemon restart problem. Now child processes are properly
killed off.
* Make sure catalog TemplateDir and ErrorFile directives are safe when
NoAbsolute is set.
* Fix problems with applying Interchange filters to UTF-8 content (RT #258).
Payment
-------
* Add PaypalExpress payment module from Lyn St George <info@zolotek.net>.
* Remove long-defunct BoA (Bank of America) payment module. Bank of America
is a reseller for CyberSource so its module applies:
http://www.bankofamerica.com/small_business/merchant_card_processing/index.cfm?template=internet_e_commerce
* Remove long-defunct CyberCash payment module.
* Deprecate Signio payment module, which uses an API that current Payflow
Pro owner PayPal says they will no longer support after September 1, 2009.
* Add new PayflowPro payment module, which replaces Signio. Based on code by
Tom Tucker.
* Allow extra parameters to be passed to Business::OnlinePayment.
Changes by Bill Carr <bill@bottlenose-wine.com>.
* [pay-cert] tag now uses the new adjust_time() function instead of the older
time_to_seconds().
* Remove CVV2 (Card Security Code) from default credit card encrypted block
template so that it will not even be stored in encrypted form. This makes
the default behavior compliant with section 3.2.2 of PCI-DSS 1.2:
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/download.html?id=pci_dss_v1-2.pdf
It is of course still possible to manually supply a template that stores
the card security code in violation of PCI-DSS requirements, so developers
should review any custom credit card encryption templates to make sure that
the CVV2 is not included, and purge it from any historical data.
* Send correct level 2 card data with AuthorizeNet module. This improves the
discount rate for a lot of card types.
* Linkpoint: Add CVV capability, and partial pay_cert payments
* Add SagePay and GoogleCheckout modules from Lyn St George.
* Add Worldpay module from Andy Smith of tvcables.co.uk.
* Remove bloat that duplicates %z functionality in Vend::Util::logtime().
UserTag
-------
* [run-profile] now accepts ref attribute to check an arbitrary hash.
* Add empty attribute for [convert-date] to display a custom string
instead of the current date when no proper date is passed.
* [component], [convert-date] and [css] now use the new adjust_time() function
instead of the older time_to_seconds().
* [convert-date] has a new compensate_dst attribute that when set to 1 will
compensate the adjusted time for daylight savings time changes.
* Fix bug in [convert-date] that skewed the time by one hour if the starting
date was during daylight savings time and an adjustment was made.
* Fix regression in [convert-date] that caused it to display Sunday for every
day of the week if a raw date was passed and the adjust attribute was not.
Thanks to Marty Tennison <marty@dripdepot.com> for reporting the bug.
* Add maps of country names and updated international shipping services needed
by USPS in [usps-query]. Thanks to Josh Lavin and Mat Jones.
SystemTag
---------
* The error is now not anymore automatically appended to the output of [error]
when MV_ERROR_STD_LABEL has a value.
* [time] now uses adjust_time() instead of the older time_to_seconds(). There
is also a new compensate_dst attribute that when set to 1 will compensate the
adjusted time for daylight savings time changes.
Filter
------
* Make code/Filter/text2html.filter output valid code.
Using double <br>'s instead of opening tag <p>.
* Strip all remaining HTML tags (not just b/i/u tags) in html2text filter.
* Require module Digest::SHA1 in the sha1 filter to raise error sooner if
it's missing.
* Add strip_html filter.
Checks
------
* Allow custom error messages for email_only check.
* ISBN check can be advised to accept ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 numbers only.
Jobs
----
* Add job group name to error message on missing catalog.
Admin UI
--------
* Check/uncheck all facility for customers/items (#18).
* Allow file removal with uploadhelper widget (#180).
* Fix default shipmode on entry page due to incomplete [either] clause.
* Fix some broken HTML.
* Recognize Opera as DHTML browser. Thanks to Don Hathaway & Steve Graham.
* Add framekiller for clickjacking defense in template. Probably we are
unlikely to have problems in the standard template, but you never know.
* Avoid problem of side-effect read-only variable table in file navigator.
* New user_merge specialsub is run from the [user-merge] tag when two users are
merged.
* Keep ui_new_item present in the form (#31).
Standard demo
-------------
* Correct bug in ncheck_category GlobalSub.
