defined in the JSP to the FindData object and eliminated the InternalStateError
throw. Lesson here, kids...just because you CAN do a thing doesn't mean you
SHOULD do a thing.
of "properties" storage and editing for conferences, communities, users, and
the global system. In addition, the "global properties" editing screen got
implemented, because it wasn't there yet.
on XML config files...the implementation should now be much more customizable
and less klunky. Added a provision for implementing "generic" (JSP-driven)
sideboxes. Implemented the sidebox configure button on the front page
(finally!). Implemented a random password generator class which will be used
in a future implementation of reminder-driven automatic forgotten-password
changing. Fixed some minor funnies in SIG menu generation.
the underlying support) - incidentally, this is a lot of support for the SIG
logo as well, just need some front end work for that in the future
(of course, we now require JAI 1.1.1)
- added color customization in render-config.xml
- added ability to scale size of Venice logo in footer
- added ability to customize size of site logo, as well as add a hyperlink
- moved to use of LOG4J 1.1.3, LOG4J now installed in Venice lib directory
instead of in JRE extensions directory (only Java extensions should go in
JRE extensions directory)
- close to requiring JAXP 1.1 (will still work with 1.0 though)
page so that it generates correct URL; repaired a security hole (well, not
really, but a PERCEIVED security hole) regarding accounts that have been
created but not yet confirmed
- cookie-based persistent logins
- expanded activity reporting
- "top" and "fixed" left menus are now dynamically generated from XML config,
not hard coded
- error reporting enhanced and protection increased
- "About Venice" page first draft
- new means of "framing" static content within the Venice "frame"
- base page now includes the "footer" itself, "content" pages don't anymore
- general cleanup of some heavyweight old containers, replaced with faster
Collections framework containers
- probably more, there's a LOT of stuff in here
- New words in the dictionary
- Bugs fixed in HTML Checker tag stack which rejected <IMG> and <LI>
and had a potential infinite loop
- Multipart handling now handles Windows-uploaded filenames correctly
- Bug fixed in PostOperations that was causing nuke to fail and scribble
and hide to succeed but throw an internal servlet error
- Enhanced conference listing now gives a better activity report in conferences
- Top Content font enlarged
- Null posts now work (they used to in WebbMe)
- Slippage display corrected
- Probably a couple of other things I can't think of just now.
finally implemented background sweeps of unreferenced cache objects;
anonymous user, when viewing profiles, now sees them as if all "privacy"
flags were switched on
to set their default language and time zone preferences; added footer text
and account signup accept/decline rules; added additional implementation
of dictyionary code for future; minor cleanup of rendering config; and
so forth
cleaned up remaining SQL statements using text columns instead of column
indexes with the ResultSet; fleshed out specifics in the TODO for
SIG administration
so they work now; added the HTML Reference (originally from CW); added the
post output filtering to turn the "pseudo-URIs" in the database into real
URIs
the basis of the conferencing engine is now firmly in place
* tweaks to the HTML Checker to make it better at breaking lines without
leaving stranded punctuation at the beginning or end of a line
* also modified dictionary to better handle possessives and hyphenates
* as always, miscellaneous tweaks and bugfizes as I spot them
(first workout of HTML Checker code)
* modified the dictionary implementation to use a trie system rather than
a set of HashSets, and also started using a new, much smaller dictionary
* general bugfixes and cleanup on other items as needed
