OpenGuides 0.58 released - OpenGuides-Dev

22 Dec 2006

Eventually...

Thanks largely to the good work done by all at the Oxford meetup, we
have a fair number of bugfixes and new features available as 0.58.

Grab it from CPAN, or directly from
http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/computing/code/openguides/OpenGuides-0.58.tar…
or from Debian unstable[1][2].

Changelog follows:

0.58    21 December 2006
        Tidy up some minor bugs in the new features.
        Add RDF autodiscovery link to nodes' <head> section.
        Added more data to RDF output
        Redesign node history view along lines of that used by MediaWiki
          (http://www.mediawiki.org/) for clarity.
        Add UPGRADING file which summarises important information for people
          upgrading.
        Add an optional new config parameter, http_charset, which will set
          an explicit charset http header on all responses.
        Add an optional new config parameter, ping_services, which is a list
          of services (defined in Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping) to ping when
          a node is written. Allows you to ping pingerati etc on changes.
        Helmert Transforms, so that British National grid users can have 
        accurate Google Maps tie-ins.
        dbencoding config variable to tell OpenGuides what charset your
          database encoding is.
        As a consequence declare the charset correctly in the XML feeds.
        Other minor UI improvements
        Redesigned node history view a la MediaWiki for greater clarity.

Cheers,

Dominic.

[1] after the next mirror pulse
[2] but beware. It's not currently installable from unstable, because the
    libtemplate-perl package needs updating in Debian (which I am working
    on).
