Change log

This is a summary of all changes. For the complete list look at the changelog for each updated package.

• Quote the description of search results in live search (security fix).
• Fix the cookie handling for status message to not insert newlines on long messages. This fixes the stability problems (occasional site errors) introduced by the CVE-2007-5741 security fix.
• Backed out handling of PTS as a global utility again. It turns out that registering a persistent object both as a global utility is as bad as registering it as a module level global. This fixes the ConnectionStateErrors witnessed in Plone 3.0.
• Only show the maintenance control panel for users who have management access in the Zope root. This prevents people who only have manager access in a Plone site from being able to shutdown the entire Zope instance.
• Improved filename normalizer: allow filenames of up to 1023 characters instead of chopping them off at 50 and do not allow [] brackets in filenames
• Remove an unneeded ZODB savepoint in the quick installer, which could cause failed installations to be commited.
• Catch syntax errors in po-files when loading translation from locales folders and output a warning instead of preventing Zope from starting up.
• Intelligent text improvements: accept IP addresses, port numbers and localhost in URLs, correct handling of ampersands in URLs and fix handling of URLs in brackets
• Kupu visual editor fixes:
  • Images may only be resized if 'height' and 'width' are permitted image attributes. Resizing images in Firefox sets those attributes rather than the style attribute.
  • Improved support for safari/webkit browsers.
  • Fix image break on dragging.
• Do not version files larger than 32mb. The versioning system does not support them and we were silently breaking things. Instead show a message warning the user when he tries to version a large object.
• Enable showing of differences for folder versions.
• Handle ArchivistUnregisteredErrors errors during saving of versioned content.
• KSS fix: fix multiple selection for field handling in safari
• Allow CMFSite and PloneSite test layers to be set up more than once.
• Allow through-the-web customizing of viewlets whose class name does not end with Viewlet.
• Updated translations.
• Allow non-ASCII characters in webstats code.
• Correct handling of workflow history with entries from anonymous and deleted users.
• Update the template for the CalendarWidget to support time-only fields.
• Correct migration errors for sites with a custom catalog such as QueueCatalog.
• Fix invalid XHTML in Table of Contents.
• Use a different method to index interfaces for content which is five times faster.
