We are pleased to announce the release of MKDoc-1.6.30. MKDoc is an award-winning mod_perl web-based content management system with an emphasis on usability, accessibility and internationalisation.
This is a feature release that adds new functionality, read the INSTALL.TXT file before upgrading from an earlier version.
MKDoc 1.6.30 is the latest in the ‘stable’ branch of MKDoc, development of new features for the upcoming 1.8 release takes place in the ‘unstable’ core.
Changes since the last release include:
A new TimeRange component. This allows any document to become an “event” simply by adding one or more “timeranges”. Events can appear in customised “upcoming events” headline listings and are included in newsletter emails.
The menu template now automatically lists the children of the root document at the top of each page, there is no longer any need to maintain a custom template for this.
Integration with the E-Commerce shopping-cart has been imporoved.
A workaround has been added for an intermittent web-browser bug that resulted in browsers submitting forms in the wrong character-set.
Files uploaded with the following names are not visible as links in the parent document: style.css, script.js and favicon.ico.
A bug has been fixed that resulted in hidden documents being visible in some default_child_listing_* templates.
The indexer and RSS cronjobs no longer try to index sites that are disabled or otherwise unavailable.
