Version 4.5.1 released

08.05.2008

Version 4.5.1 is released as beta. The official version is now 4.4.7

New features in 4.5.1:

1. Article editor: we made things simpler for first time users by hiding most of the advanced stuff in text editing toolbar. So when you first open up any article you will face a toolbar with fewer tools and an option to switch to full view.

2. Aliases: the format of human-friendly URL-s can now be configured. You can choose to use just alias like /great-news or display full trail from site structure eg /company/press-releases/great-news. In addition, you can define whether the language identifier is used eg /en/great-news, not used or used for all site languages which are not default. Check the Aliases section under Admin > System > Configuration for these new options. For this to work properly be sure to update the Apache Rewrite engine rules according to instructions given our support site.

3. Saurus API: until now the ->href attribute of objects returned by init_section, init_trail or init_object output alias string when this module was switched on. We now added init_article, init_album and init_language to act in same way.

4. MySQL: you can add into the config.php variable "mysql_set_names" with a MySQL character encoding value. This is useful when your database is in UTF-8 but the connection encoding is something else. When this variable is set the CMS performs SET NAMES = value command after connecting to the database, ex: SET NAMES = utf8.
