Symphony 2.2.2 Release Notes
Raw
symphony222.md

Release Candidate 1

Improvements

  • #706 - Previously when deleting a large number of entries using 'Delete Entries' which caused PHP to reach it's maximum memory usage, no entries would be deleted making it impossible to delete entries through the Symphony administration. Entry deletion is now processed in batches of 2500, so should the memory limit be hit, at least some of the entries will be deleted. The entryDataCleanup function also now supports an array of entry_id rather than a single entry_id
  • The EventPreSaveFilter now gets passed the $entry_id when an Event is editing entries. This will be null on new entries
  • Sometimes '0' was interpreted as empty by the default checkPostFieldData implementation
  • Add __get() to the EmailGateway allowing variables to be accessed once they are set
  • Ongoing documentation tweaks

Fixes

  • #717 - Error when updating entries with the Upload [introduced in Beta 2]
  • #710 - When using regexp filters, the Datasource will now automatically strip any spaces in the filter. When used in combination with parameters, should the parameter evaluate to nothing, the filter will fallback to Symphony's default of displaying everything instead of throwing a DatabaseException.
  • Fix two bugs in the DateTimeObj class, One in PHP5.2.x and one when the date given to format was a timestamp
  • When using Parameter Output only in Datasources, ` will no longer appear in the datasource XML
  • If Curl is unavailable, the total time taken for sockets is now measured in the Gateway class
  • Fix potential error when invalid XML has been saved by the Dynamic XML class into the Cache
  • The extension update alert now only runs over installed extensions

Beta 2

Improvements

  • #660 - Send Email Filter message should be stored in the template folder
  • #657 - Query optimisation (ORDER BY and JOIN order). An improved ORDER BY algorithm has been added to the Checkbox, Date, Input and Upload fields that may improve performance on large datasets
  • #652 - The version of Symphony that created/updated Event or Datasource's is now stored in the Event/Datasource's version information. Extensions that provide custom Events or Datasources are encouraged to add their own strings, ie. Extension Name 0.1
  • #472 - Sections Index is now selectable as a default area for Developer Authors.
  • Export Ensemble has been updated to 1.16 with a number of fixes and improvements for users who do not have --enable-zip enabled.
  • Image JIT extension has been updated to 1.11 with a number of fixes
  • XSS Filter updated to 1.1
  • The getParameterPoolValue and prepareTableData methods are now passed the $entry_id
  • XMLElement class gets two new convenience methods, addClass and removeClass that allow developers to quickly add (or remove) CSS classnames. These methods work exactly the same as jQuery's equivalents.
  • XMLElement replaceChildAt, insertChildAt and removeChildAt methods all now accept negative $index to add elements at a position calculated from the end of $this->_children instead of the start.
  • Symphony's Javascript is now documented with JSDoc.
  • Allow General::createXMLDateObject to take a date_format and time_format

Fixes

  • #701 - The DateTimeObj::format function will now fallback to __SYM_DATE_FORMAT__ if no time is provided
  • #691 - File permissions in the installer are now by default at 755/644
  • #689 - Textareas are limited to 65,000 characters
  • #684 - Added proper support for multibyte characters in XML element names
  • #677 - magic_quotes_runtime is deprecated
  • #641 - Datasource editing in Chrome is broken in certain situations
  • #628, #627 - Fixes to the Date field filtering
  • #618 - A field with value NULL returns an incorrect data-result in EntryManager::__buildEntries()
  • #614 - Header and footer width
  • The General::listDirStructure and General::listStructure functions now properly exclude files or folders passed with the $exclude parameter
  • The Mutex class has been updated to remove possible race conditions
  • The Entry->setDataFromPost method should be simulating data saving, not actually saving it at this point

Deprecated/Removed

  • The delegate ExtensionsAddToNavigation has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major Symphony release. Extensions are encouraged to implement Extension->fetchNavigation() instead. Extensions that absolutely need to use this delegate (and we'd love to know how your using it if this is the case) can use the NavigationPreRender delegate.

Beta 1

  • #649 - Added a new configuration setting, session_gc_divisor. This defaults to 10
  • #640 - Four new delegates added, PageTemplatePreEdit, PageTemplatePostEdit, PageTemplatePreCreate and PageTemplatePostCreate

  • #525 - Export Ensemble has been updated to 1.15
  • Select Box Link has been updated to 1.20 with performance improvements, code cleanup and some preventative security measures
  • XMLElement gets some love with five new functions getChildrenByName, setChildren, insertChildAt, removeChildAt and replaceChildAt
  • A new javascript object, Symphony.support is available, which extends jQuery's support functionality with localStorage checks.
  • Performance improvements for delegate subscription, saving of Textarea fields, Navigation Datasources and general Frontend page rendering.
  • Allow filters and prepopulate to be passed as arrays allowing multiple backend filters
  • Ongoing documentation improvements

Fixes

  • #645 - orderchange event triggered on every mousemove in symphony.orderable.js

  • #633 - Fix Navigation DS with AND filtering
  • #631 - Bump MySQL requirement to 5.0
  • #626 - Add notice about Windows development
  • #625 - Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated. This also fixes an issue with $andOperation for fields being set to true by default
  • #624 - "&sec" is transformed in current-path parameter, Updated the Debug Devkit extension
  • #622 - Symphony mistakenly replaces AND by OR in filter SQL
  • #619 - Author language setting works for frontend as well
  • #605 - Inconsistent language handling when installing/enabling extensions
  • #556 - README file is missing required database collation
  • The updater now migrates the old disable_query_caching configuration parameter correctly.
  • Symphony.Context.get('user') should now return the complete set of data.
  • Don't declare header_text in the global DOM scope
  • Error suppression with the @ operator, while discouraged, now suppresses the Exception correctly

  • The .help class will be applied correctly to the .secondary context now

Deprecated/Removed

  • Completely removed the deprecated /administration/ context for delegates. Extensions should have completed the transition to /backend/ by now.
