Here’s what’s new in this update:
Fixed a bug that prevented content edit fields from appearing in Firefox 3 and Safari 3.1.
Fixed a bug that made it impossible to delete sections from the “section structure” page in Firefox 3 and Safari 3.1.
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused navigation bars to prevent nearby text from being clicked or selected in Internet Explorer 7; the same bug also occasionally caused the horizontal scroll bar to appear in Internet Explorer.
Link images now correctly open a new window for external links when the new-window preference is selected in the site’s HTML preferences.
Fixed a bug that prevented site search from returning any results
if the path_info plugin was installed.
After deleting items from the image, document, media or people libraries, any pages that contained those items are now rebuilt automatically.
Fixed a bug that prevented some site preferences from being copied when cloning a site.
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a page’s list of version edits to appear in non-chronological order on the edit screen.
Fixed a bug that allowed sections to be displayed in <%sections%>
widget even when the “suppress content in parent sections” option is checked.
The <%images%> widget now properly returns nothing at all if no
images to display (previously returned an empty div).
When displaying a library image in the control panel, a link to the original image size is now always displayed; this was inconsistent in previous versions.
Fixed a crashing bug when displaying search results on servers running Perl 5.8.0.
Fixed a crashing bug that occurred when you tried to copy a website to the server’s root directory from the “Site URLs & Directories” page.
Fixed a crashing bug for servers that do not have Perl’s URI module installed.
When deleting custom display preferences in the section properties screen, the confirmation dialog now reminds you to rebuild pages.
