- 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
- fixed a bug in navigation between conferences via post links
- fixed the "your post is 'new'" bug (this was actually another bug, in
postNewMessage())
- some other stuff
- 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
