What's in this Release?
=======================

This release is available in three forms:
    Deployment Bundle - infusion-1.3.zip 
    Source Code Bundle - infusion-1.3-src.zip
    Your own custom build, using the new Infusion Builder: http://builder.fluidproject.org
    
In addition to source code, samples and tests, both bundles include at the top level a single JavaScript file,
InfusionAll.js, which is a combination of all other source files. Developers can include this single file in 
their pages to provide all the necessary support for the Infusion component Library. In the Deployment Bundle,
this script is compressed and suitable for production use.

The Deployment Bundle also includes a WAR file suitable for deployment in Java-based containers: 
        fluid-components-1.3.war

Source Code
-----------
The organization of the full source code for the Infusion library is as follows:

        components/
             inlineEdit/
             pager/
             progress/
             reorderer/
             tableOfContents/
             tooltip/
             uiOptions/
             undo/
             uploader/
        framework/
             core/
             enhancement/
             fss/
             renderer/
        lib/
             fastXmlPull/
             jquery/
             json/
             swfobject/
             swfupload/

In the Deployment Bundle, the JavaScript source has been minified: comments and whitespace have
been removed. 

Developers wishing to learn about the Fluid Infusion code, or debug their applications, should use
the Source Code Bundle.

Demo Portal
-----------
The bundle now comes with a convenient one-stop-shop for seeing all components in action. You can
find the demo portal in the "demos" folder in the release bundle or on our Website at:

    http://fluidproject.org/products/infusion/infusion-demos/

When run from a local file system, several of these demos require you to enable local file AJAX 
if you're using Firefox 3 and higher. Here's more information:

Known Issues
============

The Fluid Project uses a JIRA website to track bugs: http://issues.fluidproject.org
Some of the known issues in this release are described here:

FSS:
    FLUID-2504: Flexible columns don't maintain proper alignment under certain conditions
    FLUID-2434: In IE, major font size changes break text positioning within form controls

Framework:
    FLUID-2577: Renderer performance can be slow on IE 6 and 7 in some contexts.

Inline Edit: 
    FLUID-3632: Chrome 4 in WIN XP does not allow tabbing out of tinyMCE editor's edit field
    FLUID-3811: Previous edits are persisting in Edit Mode despite demo being reloaded in IE8
    FLUID-1600: Pressing the "Tab" key to exit edit mode places focus on the wrong item

Layout Reorderer: 
    FLUID-3864: Layout Reorderer failed to move portlets back to the first column in three-columns view with keyboard
    FLUID-3089: If columns become stacked, can't drag item into lower column
    FLUID-858:  Portlet Columns load with no padding between them in IE7

Pager:
    FLUID-2880: The Pager will be refactored. Note that as a result of this, there will be significant changes to the Pager API
    FLUID-2329: The self-rendering mode of the Pager is not the default mode
    FLUID-3584: Clicking page numbers throws an error: using IE 6

Renderer: 
    FLUID-3493: Renderer appears to corrupt templates containing empty tags on Opera (maybe others)
    FLUID-3277: Attempt to add children to leaf component in tree results in "targetlump is undefined" error
    FLUID-3276: Enclosing branch nodes within markup which has "headers" attribute causes them to become invisible to the renderer

Reorderer: 
    FLUID-3288: Moving an item with the keyboard "loses" the "ctrl-key is down" status
    FLUID-118:  Dragging an image offscreen or out of the frame has some unexpected results.

UI Options: 
    FLUID-3621: The text in buttons does not change size.
    FLUID-2481: "Links" selection does not work correctly in UIOptions
    FLUID-2398: Minimum font size control changes the text size even when the base size is larger then the minimum.
    
Uploader: 
    FLUID-4017: Total file progress information is inaccurate when uploading files with the HTML 5 version of Uploader
    FLUID-4018: The "Stop" button is unavailable in the HTML 5 version of Uploader
    FLUID-3992: When JavaScript is turned off, the Uploader is still visible beneath the Simple Uploader
    FLUID-3996: Deleting files on the local filesystem after they have been added to the Uploader's queue will cause inconsistent behaviour
    FLUID-3997: Can't tab to the "Browse/Add More" button with the keyboard in IE with Flash 10
    FLUID-3999: "Add more" button is not disabled while uploading other files
    FLUID-2052: Cannot tab away from the "Browse Files" button with Flash 10*
