New in Collabtive 1.1 (Aug 23, 2013)
- This is a release with security enhancements and bugfixes.
New in Collabtive 1.0 (Apr 6, 2013)
- Added translations: Hebrew, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Taiwanese
- Improved translations: Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Danish, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Slovak, Serbian, Turkish
- Added translations of install-readme: Hungarian
- Improved translations of install-readme: Arabic
- Changed name of autoload function to cl_autoload and added it with spl_autoload_register() to autoload list, to not interfere other autoloaders
- Implemented automatic update notification.
- Completely re-written the PDF export. It now uses a custom subclass of TCPDF to directly draw the tables for the reports from arrays instead of using an HTML intermediate.
- This greatly speeds up PDF generation (esp when many lines are exported) and generates much smaller PDFs.
- Fixed problem with missing "webcolor" variable in TCPDF
- Improved the project log PDF report by merging fields, improving shading and adding automatic font stretching.
- Added new PDF report to the "my tasks" block on the desktop. Now a user can export all his tasks to PDF.
- Re-enabled permissions checking when deleting a timetracker entry. This got disabled for testing purposes and was commited to trunk. Disabling it posed a possible security risk.
- Added permissions checking to timetracker:add and timetracker:edit . Permissions set in the useraccount where not properly enforced for the timetracker before.
- Rewrote the settings functionality to work with a key/value table as the datastore. This makes extensibility easier.
- Ported all database access from mysql_ to PDO. This became necessary because mysql_ will be deprecated in future versions of PHP.
- It uses stored procedures for all UPDATE and INSERT queries which brings improved security and performance (caching) advantages.
- Also, PDO supports a plethora of databases which should make supporting other databases than mysql much easier than before. (Contributed by Mwirtz)
- Started porting SELECT queries to use stored procedures as well. This brings security and performance (caching) advantages.
- Ported install.php and update.php to also use PDO
- Replaced the Excel Export by a more robust CSV export. The excel export was based on an outdated library and not fully compatible with newer versions of Excel and OpenOffice.
- With CSV Collabtive can now export to a widely used serialisation format that can easily be read into Excel, OpenOffice, and many more.
- Switched to using a precompiled static CSS file in production instead of dynamically compiling it at runtime. This saves many call to the php interpreter.
- Removed the tabs "my tasks", "my projects", "my messages" from the tabs bar on the desktop.
- Those tabs were redundant for quite some time now. All their information is, in condensed form, also available on the desktop. they can be reinstated by editing tabsmenue-deskt.tpl
- Fixed a bug preventing people from uploading avatar images
- Changed the truncation of project titles and task titles on the desktop slightly to prevent http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8750#p17251
- Made timetracker show closed tasks in addition to open tasks when editing a task ( http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8749 )
- When clicking on a folder, set the folder in the select menu for "add file" and "add folder" to the clicked folder.
- This way you can upload into a folder you just clicked straight away.
- Removed the "visibility" functionality for folders ...finally
- Removed IE7 compatibility
- Files: Made listview/gridview switch respect the currently selected folder when switching views
- Made the uploader respect the currently selected folder when refreshing. Now after an upload is complete the view will refresh the subfolder to which a file has been uploaded and not always the main folder.
- When editing tasks or projects in tables (i.e. on the desktop) the edit form is now displayed in the top block where the add project/task form is also displayed. This eliminates the need for a dedicated "edit" page.
- Enabled multi-byte safe truncation for strings (makes PHP extension "mbstring" required)
- Properly enforce user permissions for uploading files, moving files (file_edit), deleting folders (file_del), adding folders (file_add) on the controller/script level. Not only on the template/view level.
- Added RTL enabled version of the default theme. Contributed by mrawi.
- Implemented "view" permission. It enables you to define roles that can only view certain parts of a project. For example a role that can view milestones, tasks and messages, but not files and the timetracker in a project.
- Added "Add task" slider to the "my tasks" block on the desktop. This way a user can add tasks to himself straight from the desktop.
- Fix shading of the content table. When clicking "add task" or "add project" on the desktop the table with existing tasks / projects is now correctly shaded.
- Made the page update.php translatable
- Improved the design of the installer/updater
- Fixed a notice in system administration / user profile when a language string was not translated
- Fixed a bug that asked for the "add" permission instead of the "reply" permission before posting a reply
- Fixed a bug where the datepicker would not keep the dateformat set in the systemsettings and would revert to d.m.Y when changing months.
- Fixed a notice when displaying messages
- Fixed link in the email notifications for message-replies to point to the replied to message instead of the reply
- Send email notifications to all assigned users when creating a project, not just when adding users afterwards.
- Bulleted lists now displayed correctly... finally.
- Added mimetype icon for PNG images uploaded with IE which is image/x-png and not image/png
- Fixed a notice when searching
- Fixed a bug where clicking cancel in admin->projects->assign user would add an empty user (removed the cancel button).
- Fixed minor glitch in the form for adding a timetracker entry
- Substituted deprecated PHP function split() used in e-mail handling by PHP function explode()
- Made sure to only offer the password reset function (via e-mail) when e-mail notifications are activated
- Made the asynchronous refresh after file upload is complete a bit quicker. the uploader used to wait 1s before refreshing - this is now reduced to 500ms.
New in Collabtive 0.7.6 (Jul 4, 2012)
- Added Estonian translation
- Fixed timetracker filtering
- Fixed a problem in countLanguageStrings() that would throw warnings on the system admin page when there was an empty folder in the /language/ folder
- Files can now be moved up in the folder hierarchy by dragging them onto the "folder up" icon / titlebar
- Display the complete path of the folder in the add folder ("Parent folder") and add file ("folder") forms, instead of just the foldernames
- Display the complete path in the titlebar of the file manager, instead of just the current folder
- Filemanager can now be switched between Gridview (default) and listview (new)
- Set sensible defaults for time formating in admin->system
- Implemented asynchronous file upload, with real progress indicator (for browsers that can support it)
- Removed open ID login option. it was based on a terribly outdated library that only supports openID 1.0, which possibly poses a security problem.
- Improved file type checking for avatar uploads to prevent non-image files from being uploaded to the avatar directory. This improves security.
- Removed some dead code paths from manageproject.php
