Big Medium 2.0b16: "Thunderbolt"

Posted Sep 1, 2006

The "Thunderbolt" beta update addresses a handful of bugs, including a bug that prevented completion of the setup wizard on Windows servers, plus a healthy regimen of performance improvements under the hood.

Download the latest version of Big Medium here.

Upgrading from v2.0b14 or earlier?

Several new installation steps are required if you're upgrading from 2.0b14 or earlier. Please follow the complete update instructions that come with the download package and do a complete upgrade by uploading all of the files in the package as described in the instructions.

Upgrading from v2.0b15?

If you're upgrading from v2.0b15, you can upgrade by uploading only the following files and directories listed below.

When uploading, make sure that your FTP client is set to "plain text" or "ASCII" mode when you upload the following files.

  • bmadmin/js/bigmedium_cp.js
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Language/en_us.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Media/Image.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Site.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Content.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Builder.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/App/Web/Config.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/App/Web/Sections.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed/Section.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI/Carp.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI/Cookie.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI/Fast.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/Email/Address.pm

...or to keep things simple (if a bit slower), you can also upload these six files and directories instead of uploading the above files individually:

  • bmadmin/js/bigmedium_cp.js
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/BigMed (directory)
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI.pm
  • moxiebin/Modules/CGI (directory)
  • moxiebin/Modules/Email (directory)

  • Fixed bug that prevented completion of the setup wizard on Windows IIS servers
  • Fixed bug that prevented editing of images, documents or media if the title was a number instead of text.
  • Increased default image quality for automatically generated thumbnail images
  • Improved performance for section and content deletion.
