Feature enhancements in this release

The following features are associated with this release:

Plone 3.0 compatibility
Make Slideshow Folder compatible with Plone 3.0
i18N support
Add appropriate i18n support
Upgrade to Slideshow 2 javascript library
Replace the underlying Slideshow library with the newest version, Slideshow 2. This will remedy most of the functional limitations of Slideshow 1.2.x and 3.0, and add some much-requested new features.
More permission flexibility
right now, we're requiring "manage properties" permission to edit slideshow settings. we should probably be a little more flexible.

Change log

 4.0 - final (2008-07-30)

  • Documented workaround for obscure issue with viewing slideshow when logged in, using IE as the browser, and accessing the site at http://localhost/. [davisagli]
  • Changed the permission checked when deciding whether to display a warning about needing to add images to a slideshow-enabled folder to 'ATContentTypes: Add Image'. Also removed detail about publishing, since images are no longer associated with a workflow by default. [jessesnyder]


4.0 - release candidate 2 (2008-07-18)

  • Worked around an obscure Javascript error affecting IE when logged in.  [davisagli]
  • Applied patch for http://code.google.com/p/slideshow/issues/detail?id=28&can=1 from upstream, which fixes an issue where images weren't displayed when serving via a proxy. [davisagli]


4.0 - release candidate 1 (2008-07-11)

  • Added "Slideshowfolder: Manage slideshow settings" permission (assigned to Manager, Editor, and Owner roles by default.)  [davisagli]
  • Added i18n infrastructure. [davisagli]
  • Improved compatibility with things that are not ATImages but implement the same interface (ISlideshowImage).  [davisagli]
  • Switched settings form to use formlib. [davisagli]
  • Modified mootools 'protect' flag to work around still-present conflict with kupuhelpers.js [davisagli]
  • Switched to "Slideshow 2" javascript and Mootools 1.2.  Changes to templates, settings to expose new features. [jonstahl]


3.0 alpha 2 - unreleased

  • Using proper noLongerProvides zope.interface API for removing a marker interface from content object [andrewb]
  • Removing testJSRegisteryHasResources per no longer present mootools.js, slideshow.js in JS registry. This is now pulled in via a metal slot (see below for more) [andrewb]
  • Load javascript via a metal slot rather than via the javascript registry, to avoid conflicting with kupu. [davisagli]
