-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.7.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Style Sheet modifications to improve IE6 compatibility, contributed by
Juan Lago (thanks Juan!). This fixes some placement issues with elements
that have the position attribute set to "absolute".
- The div elements that are used to clear floats have been fixed so that they
have zero height in IE6. It is not enough to specify "height: 0"; one must
also set "font-size:0" otherwise IE6 will set the height of the element to
match the standard font size.
- UI layout improvements. Various changes to the user interface to improve
the page flow and allow for further expansion in the future. The context
menu bar has been separated from the page heading into its own container
underneath the title. It's a more logical place to present the menu, and
will allow for the easy addition of further sub-headings in the future
without compromising the page flow.
- The last dependency on the original theme system has been eliminated with
the introduction of updated chooser dialogues for selecting files and
folders. These dialogues have the new themes and the code has been revamped,
replacing the old table structures with unordered lists.
- LDAP update. A minor change to the LDAP authentication code to allow for
the use of URIs to identify the server name (e.g. ldaps://host.com).
Also, the LDAP version is set to 3 in order to support secure connections.
- New language translations for Czech and Slovak. Contributed by SF user
helix84 (thanks!).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.7.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Re-vamped Notification system allows users to receive an email when a
document or folder is changed. This is a new, event-based mechanism that
notifies the user as soon as the change has been made and replaces the
cron mechanism originally developed. Any user that has read access to a
document or folder can subscribe to be notified of changes. Users that
have been assigned as reviewers or approvers for a document are
automatically added to the notification system for that document.
A new page has been created for users to assist with the management of
their notification subscriptions. This can be found in the "My Account"
section under "Notification List".
- The test used to identify HTTPS connections has been improved so that it
correctly identifies IIS servers that have ISAPI enabled but are not
using HTTPS protocol.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.7.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixes to CSS display bugs. Minor updates to the display.
- Improved handling of character escape sequences.
- Review / Approve dates added to folder views and search results.
- New file system directory management code to accommodate limitations in the
underlying filesystem which restrict the number of files that MyDMS can
store. MyDMS now uses a nested directory structure to store files, rather
than a flat one. However, note that individual files are still stored one
per directory in order to preserve compatibility with older versions of
MyDMS.
For details of the problem and the solution implemented, please refer to:
http://mydms.sf.net/2007/08/15/new-file-system-storage-structure/
- Hungarian translation.
- And as a bonus, there is a Drupal theme compatible with MyDMS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.6.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Theme and language choice are now saved as user attributes between
sessions. Read update-1.6.1.txt for changes to database schema.
- Link to document review / approval page from out.ViewDocument.php.
- French translation.
- Brazilian Portuguese translation.
- Traditional Chinese translation.
- Relaxation of criteria for selecting reviewers / approvers. Users now only
require read access to be eligible reviewers or approvers.
- Documents are now displayed in the correct sequence in the folder view.
- Documents can be downloaded directly from the folder view by clicking their
icon.
- Document icons in the folder view now reflect the document type.
- Empty passwords are not accepted, even when JS is disabled in the browser.
- New restricted access mode rejects login from users who are not entered
into the internal database, even if LDAP authentication was successful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------

out.SetReviewersApprovers.php
op.SetReviewersApprovers.php
Allows document owner or site administrator to re-assign reviewers and
approvers to a document revision that is pending review or approval.
out.ActionSummary.php
Lists all the documents owned by current user that are pending review or
approval. Lists all documents that are awaiting review or approval by the
user.
Search page now allows user to search for documents pending review or
approval. Search results display overall document status.
- Admin user cannot be deleted, and admin privilege cannot be removed from
the admin user. Previously, both actions were possible.
- Users can be assigned administrative privileges in the User Manager.
- Deleting document revisions or the document itself notifies all affected
users by email, deletes entries from all status logs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.5.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed a bug in the keyword editing code which was preventing users from
adding default keywords into global keyword categories.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Optimised search. Improved the performance of the search function by
placing more of the work on the database and by applying indexes to some of
the tables. Sub-folder searches are also dramatically improved due to the
incorporation of a folderList field in the tblDocuments table.
- Optimised display. New compact theme significantly reduces the page load
times. This is the default theme. The original is still available as a
selection.
- Changed file download headers such that downloading works with IE over SSL.
- Changed all instances of $HTTP_COOKIES_VARS, which has been deprecated, to
$_COOKIE.
- Replaced all short open tags (<?) with <?php tags, including <?= tags.
- Removed the dependency upon register_globals.
- Database: removed the id column from tblDocumentContent. Changed the
primary key to be (document, version) with the auto_increment on the
version field. This enables the database to automatically assign the next
appropriate version number to any new row inserted into the table without
having to explicitly look up the existing version value, increment the
result and store that as part of the insert statement. It guarantees that
there will be no conflicts or duplication of version numbers by
simultaneous inserts. The id field was not required as it was not used
anywhere except as a convenient identifier. It was easily replaced by
(document id, version).
- Database: Moved the lock field into a separate table for managing locks.
Fixes a problem where it was possible, although unlikely, for two people to
simultaneously request a lock on a document.
- The settings file, inc/inc.Settings.php, is renamed in the distribution to
inc/inc.Settings-sample.php. This is to avoid any existing settings being
deleted during an upgrade. To use MyDMS for the first time, users must now
copy (or move) this file to inc/inc.Settings.php and edit before
using MyDMS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.4.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- All files released as GPL as license recommends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.4.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- You can now prepare both personal and global lists of keywords and
insert them easily for your documents
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Choose language and theme
Users can now choose their preferred language and theme on the
login-screen.
- Split of language file
inc.Language.php has been splitted so that every language is
provided in its own file.
- Added ADOdb
Due to ADOdb MyDMS is no longer limited to MySQL. Every database
that is supported by ADOdb can be used together with MyDMS
- Admin-Tool: Overview of folders and documents
A tool that shows a list of all folders and documents together
with the ACLs has been added. The section "admin-tools" will
become bigger in the next versions (import files etc).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- New feature: Auto-Conversion to HTML
When uploading files they are now converted to HTML automatically.
So you can now even view Winword-files online with your favourite
browser.
- Integrated themes
Themes (again: thanks to Marcel van Groenigen), which were only
available by a seperate download so far, are now fully integrated
into MyDMS.
I'm looking forward to MacOS X Themes :-)
- Fixed bug: Search function
An error occured if no folder had been chosen. This has been fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.2.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Improved searching functionality
MyDMS now offers you a lot more options to help you find exactly
what you were looking for.
This is only the first stop of improvement: Look forward to an
even more powerful search engine in the next versions :-)
- Security-Bug: Session-ID
One could guess the session-id very easily, since it was only a
two digit number. This has been corrected so that it should now
be impossible to get illegal access this way.
Tip: Empty tblSessions once a day (by a cron-job for example).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Move documents and folders
If you have put folders or documents to the wrong place or just
want to re-organize the structure you can now easily move
documents and folders.
- New languages
A Russian (thanks to Dmitri) and a Durch version (thanks to Andr�
Koot) are now available, too.
- Upload-Bug
With certain configurations moving the temporary file of on upload
caused problems. MyDMS now uses the built-in move_uploaded_file()
function to prevent this error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.1.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Sequence of Documents and Folders
One of the most wanted features has been realized: The user has
now full control of the sequence in which documents and folders
appear in the system.
- Related Documents
Every documents now has a list of link to related documents.
There are two kinds of links: public and private ones; public
links can be seen by anyone, while private ones are only visible
to the user that created them.
Users with read-only access can only add private links, while
users with at least read-write access can decide which type of
link they want to add.
Private links can only be deleted by the user that has created
them while public links - no matter who created them - can be
deleted by all users with read-write access.
- Fixed Bug: Delete documents
When deleting documents they were removed only from the database.
The files in the content-directory were kept.
- Fixed Bug: View and download documents.
Very ling filenames (more than 70 characters) caused problems
with viewing and downloading of documents. By runnning the
db-update filenames with up to 150 characters are now possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Spanish translation
Eugenio Ramajo has completely translated MyDMS to Spanish
- Disable guest-login
You can now disable the guest-login introduced in Version 1.1.0
by setting $_enableGuestLogin to false.
- Confirmation for deletion
When deleting documents or folders you now have to confirm this
action to prevent you from accidentaly deleting important data.
- Security improved
By manually changing the folder-ID in the URL it was possible to
"illegaly" show folders or documents (but downloading or viewing
the actual content was not possible).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Guest-Login
You can now choose to log-in as guest so that you can access your
documents more quickly. The guest user cannot be added to the ACLs.
So take care that the default access is at least "read" if you wish
to have access with the guest-user.
You cannot edit the guest-users's account.
- Download documents more quickly
If you want to download the current version (or view it online) there
is no more need to scroll to the end of the document's page: Now there
is a button just on top of the site for downloading the current version.
- Icons for Mime-Types
According to the document's MIME-type an additional icon is show.
(Icons from KDE3).
- Correct filename when downloading
When downloading a file it was named data.[extension] up to know. This has
been replaced by the original filename.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 1.0.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- if you had the GNU test-package installed on your machine, the function
getText() caused a fatal error. The problem was solved by renaming the
function.
