2.4.0-rc1 (2010-04-01)

Changelog

Features and Enhancements

• [rev:101871] Updated automatic regression tests (Salad)
• [rev:101670] RedirectorPage ExternalURL field now defaults to http:// to be consistent with the "Another website" option for HtmlEditorField LinkForm
• [rev:101661] tidied up installer process to streamline process. Moved requirements to top and button to bottom and added visual seperation of the individual steps
• [rev:101381] refactored requirements section to hide successful tests
• [rev:101378] Added links to installation introduction text for sources of help and suggested web hosts
• [rev:101246] Improved wording and styling in installer. Added links to server requirements, themes download, tutorial. Decreased vertical space before the "install" button to make it more obvious.
• [rev:101127] Added 'Dependent pages' tab to CMS, to show virtuals, redirectors, and backlinks that point to this page.

API Changes

• [rev:102012] Changed MySQLFulltextSearchable class to FulltextSearchable (applies to all databases)
• [rev:102003] Disallow methods/actions in RequestHandler->checkAccessAction() which are implemented on parent classes (e.g. ViewableData and Object), unless access is controlled through $allowed_actions. This limits information exposure from getters used in template contexts.
• [rev:101833] Allow cached blocks within control and if blocks, as long as that control or if block is contained within an uncached block, not a cached block
• [rev:101155] Add option for DataObjectDecorator::onAfterSkippedWrite()
• [rev:101137] Partial cache adjustments - now supports nested cache blocks (which are independant of their containing cache block), conditionals to control if a given cache block is active, and includes hash of template code in key (so template changes mean cache is invalidated). Changes template control for cache block to <% cached %>, to which the now deprecated <% cacheblock %> is aliased, and an additional template control <% uncached %> has been added.
• [rev:101127] Added SiteTree::VirtualPages() and SiteTree::DependentPages() accessors.

• [rev:101711] Don't replace "home/" URLSegment in SiteTree->RelativeLink() if Translatable is enabled and the homepage is not on the root level (nested URLs allows you to have homepages called "en/home" and "ru/home") (fixes #5244)
