Big Medium 2.0b6: "Jam Session"
Posted Sep 1, 2006
Today's "Jam Session" beta update fixes several session- and login-related bugs, plus: a bug in the section structure editor, a crashing bug under Perl 5.6.1, and a tweak to the RSS feeds. Download the latest version of Big Medium here.
The New Files
If you're upgrading from v2.0b5, you can upgrade by uploading just the following 11 files or directories from the new version (make sure that your FTP client is set to "plain text" or "ASCII" mode when you upload the files).
moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/User.pmmoxiebin/Modules/BigMed/App/Web/Login.pmmoxiebin/Modules/BigMed/App/Web/Sections.pmmoxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Format/RSS.pmmoxiebin/Modules/CGI/Application/Plugin/Session.pmmoxiebin/Modules/CGI/Session.pmmoxiebin/Modules/CGI/Sessionmoxiebin/Modules/Listmoxiebin/Modules/Scalarbmadmin/css/bigmedium_cp.cssbmadmin/js/bm-sections.js
Or if you find it easier, you can also simply upload these three revised directories
to your server:
moxiebin/Modulesbmadmin/cssbmadmin/js
Changes
If you care to know the nitty-gritty details, here's the complete list of changes:
- Fixed the login routine to properly save form submissions on session timeout
so that submitted data is not forgotten on a timeout.
- Upgraded the session server to fix a bug under Perl 5.6.1 that blocked logins.
- Fixed a bug in the section structure editor that prevented changes to section
order from being saved.
- Fixed a bug under Perl 5.6.1 that caused crashes when clicking new/edit links
in the content editor.
- Fixed a display bug in Internet Explorer that caused the control panel menus
to be partially obscured on preference menu pages.
- Updated the timestamp of RSS feed items to be the modification time to help
aggregators notice updated items more reliably.
