Release Notes
Version 2.3b -- March 8, 2010-----------------------------------------------------------
[FIX] Missing TinyMCE plug in was preventing the WYSIWYG editor from loading
Version 2.3a -- Feb. 25, 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------
[FIX] Fixed applicant form field data validation routines that were preventing form submissions with Internet Explorer
Version 2.3 -- February 20, 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------
[NEW] - Editable applications - edit the fields to show per applicant type, includes various database changes
(custom field types don't flow through to reports...most reports aren't specific to applicant type so I'm not sure how to handle this)
[NEW] - You can now disable/enable application types. Disabled app types won't show to the public. At this point, nothing prevents the showing of data from disabled types...for example, if you disable the "Exhibitor" type, the exhibitors page would still show data if it were in your system. Simply use the menu editor to remove that page from your menu.
[NEW] - Additional output functions in output.php for finer control over public page output
[NEW] - You can now turn on & off whether you're accepting applications. When off, applicants can update their email address & password but nothing else.
[NEW] - Application file uploader in admin system lets you upload PDF/Word application files
[NEW] - Added a "preflight" report on the Fest Config tab that you can use to make sure all is in order (ready to accept applications, etc.)
[NEW] - Added custom TinyMCE buttons to add links to FestOS-created pages and the application PDFs (or other files) you have uploaded.
[UPDATE] - The administration Edit page now shows just the fields you have defined on the application form (plus some static internal fields such as "Comments" etc.)
[UPDATE] - The administration Add page now prompts you for the applicant type then shows just the fields you have defined on the application form (plus some static internal fields such as "Comments" etc.)
[UPDATE] - Updated boothbook report to check memory alotment first before asking for more memory
[UPDATE] - Add "Styles" drop down list to TinyMCE editor on Pages/Snippets add/edit pages. Edit the admin/css/tinymce.css file with the styles you want to appear in that list. Make sure to update your theme's style sheet to include those same styles!
[UPDATE] - Add an ID selector to the menu links for easier css control. ID matches page's alias.
[UPDATE] - Admin pages: Sort order on applicant listings changed (search by email = sort by email, search by tracking or category = sort by tracking first, then by vendor name, and so forth).
[UPDATE] - New admin UI based on the great jQuery Ribbon plug in by Mikael Söderström, see http://vinkr.net/ribbon or http://jqueryribbon.codeplex.com/
[UPDATE] - MP3 uploads for entertainers that was present in an earlier version, dropped out of site, has been restored.
[UPDATE] - Replaced the KFM filebrowser (TinyMCE plugin) with the TinyBrowser plug in. Hopefully this one will work better across systems.
[UPDATE] - The admin menu shows only those items you have access to based on your "role" and the dashboard output includes edit/paid links only if you have permissions to make such changes
[UPDATE] - Slightly rearranged menu items, added links to a few more of the existing reports, and added icons for a couple of menu items that didn't have icons previously, added a donate page on the "orb" menu
[UPDATE] - The current version is now pulled every 15 minutes rather than every time you load an admin page. This will reduce the hit on my server as well as your page load time. If an update is available, that message is now a link to the release notes page on the festengine.org site.
[UPDATE] - Added log out and site preview buttons at the upper-right of the admin page header
[FIX] - Fixed a bug that prevented the "Assign Random Passwords" page from working.
[FIX] - Added check to admin/includes/reportheader.php to quit if someone tries to implement published security hole
[FIX] - Fixed include file problem that prevented Jury (placement) report from working
[FIX] - Fixed a bug in the boothbook report that prevented images from showing
[FIX] - Bug in admin page for resetting an applicant's password, database table referenced without prefix, would fail if $config['dbprefix'] anything other than blank
Version 2.2.2 -- January 3, 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------
[UPDATE] - Security changes to block some forms of URL munging attacks
Version 2.2.1 -- December 17 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
[FIX] Updated the SQL file. The original one worked on my localhost test system but not on a live server. Various changes required. Should be more universal now.
[FIX] Admin system, fixed the change password pages.
[FIX] Fixed the paramtester and vartester functions in the core files, needed to implement password pages fix
[UPDATE] Added messages to the (admin) login page if you enter the wrong username/password or your session expires
Version 2.2 -- November 24 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
[NEW] Real system for adding pages, not just page snippets. Former component renamed to "snippets" which are editable text areas within other pages (built-in pages, footer, user-defined).
[NEW] Menu editor for creating and editing menus
[NEW] Theme support using some simple includes & CSS files, a half-dozen themes created
[NEW] Theme selectable on the FestOS configuration page
[NEW] Added language file editors to ease the process of settings the language strings. Also split the lang.php file in two and moved both to the cache directory.
[FIX] Big bug fixed -- being logged in as an artist might have given you access to the admin system, and vice versa. Login tracking is now distinct so you aren't automatically logged in to both, but can be if you need to be (like for the site owner doing testing)
[FIX] End of year close-out function now empties the booth assignments table
[FIX] Export report, columns were not being output in the correct order
[FIX] generatePassword was defined twice, which caused the password reset function (admin screens) to fail

[UPDATE] Release equivalent to FestOS Turnkey version 1.0
[UPDATE] Change to GPLv3 license from proprietary -- donations welcome!!
