conjoon

The conjoon development team would like to announce the third release candidate for conjoon 0.1.4. This release candidate fixes issues that previously occurred when working with MySQL as the database backend in “strict” mode. Fixing this issue means also that conjoon stores date time values from now on as UTC dates, which enhances the locale portability of conjoon. The install wizard has been adjusted to let administrators choose a time zone the software runs in, and an additional step for patching existing data to ensure consistency with this -and future – updates.
As always, you can find this release at the download page of the conjoon project home.

Here are the release notes for this version:

Bug

• [CN-396] – MySQL's strict mode prevents overlong dates from being inserted
• [CN-400] – Background not properly rendered when login screen is showing
• [CN-401] – File SystemMessagemanager.js cannot be found during build process of login-target
• [CN-403] – Preset property "default.caching" not properly considered during installation process
• [CN-404] – Wrong doctype declaration in reception's index.html
• [CN-409] – "Fetch Email" button is rendered active when activating Email Tab for the first time
• [CN-412] – Builds do not get generated from proper version

Improvement

• [CN-407] – Improve build process by adding tests / removing file header parts
• [CN-408] – Remove CHANGELOG.txt from repository and let the build-tools auto-generate it

Task

• [CN-402] – Edit build files to consider BC breaks that come with phing 2.4
• [CN-411] – Improve build process for creating packed versions of build

Sub-task

• [CN-397] – The Wizard must provide a default timezone to choose from
• [CN-405] – Create update/patch script for migrating datetime fields prior to 0.1.4

The conjoon development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1.4RC1. This is a release candidate for a maintenance release which introduces support for Twitter’s oauth features.

Notable changes from the changelog:

[Twitter module - client]

• changed ui of both Wizard/Options panel to consider Twitter’s new oauth
  authorization process

[Twitter module - backend]

• fixed some issues related to deprecated parameters Zend Framework would
  still use when communicating with the Twitter API (see ZF-9215)
• fixed types of fields which would still be set to “int”/”float” whereas
  “string” should be used now

[Vendor]

• Updated Zend Framework to version 1.11.6

We have updated the demo at http://demo.conjoon.org with the latest version of conjoon 0.1.4RC1. This is a maintenance release which enables conjoon’s Twitter client to utilize Twitter’s oauth implementation. The new release will be available tomorrow evening for everyone to download from the official project page at http://www.conjoon.org

We would like to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1.3.2. This is a maintenance release which fixes a showstopper bug. The issue was reported by one of our community members, odomera, who experienced this issue when trying to install the application: Due to an erroneous condition in one of the install scripts, he was not able to proceed to the second step of the installation using the install wizard.

People who could not install any of the releases from the 0.1.3 series are advised to use this release. Other than that, no other changes made it into this release.

We would like to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1.3.1. This is a maintenance release in the 0.1.3 series which fixes an issue with the mysql datastructure script. Due to missing backtickets in a statement, already existing tables for the email attachments would not get properly prepared for the new features introduced in 0.1.3.

This release affects only people who have updated a previous version of conjoon. People who installed 0.1.3 from scratch won’t need this update. All other users are advised to install this version.

The conjoon development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1.3. This is a feature release in the 0.1 series which introduces internal download management for handling file downloads.

We have decided to release this feature shortly after the 0.1.2 release due to requests from our community members who’d like to see this feature before the 0.2 version gets released.

Notable changes from the changelog:

[Workbench]

• enhanced “Help” menu, added dialogs for submitting suggestions/bug reports

[Datastore - mysql]

• fixed an issue with datastructure for attachment table, since some attachments could not be saved due to restrictions of content length for “BLOB” fields – changed field “content” in “attachment” table from “BLOB” to “LONGBLOB”

[Email module - client]

• added DownloadManager for queueing downloads in conjoon
• revamped DefaultViewRenderer for displaying email messages to show a resizable and scrollable attachment list

[Email module - backend]

• fixed a security issue where models would not check for proper folder permissions before sending an email message / item to the client
• added functionality for downloading attachments

The conjoon development team would like to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1.2. This release focuses on ui enhancements along with bug fixes related to the installation process on Unix-based systems. The release uses ExtJs 3.1.2 and due to its improved stability we encourage every user to update their installation of conjoon.

Notable changes from the changelog:

[install wizard]

• fixed an issue related to creating directories during the installation process on unix systems
• fixed an issue where the “edition” configuration property would not be properly re-used while updating conjoon; fixed an issue where “apache” would not be properly recognized during install if the server would not expose its version number
• updated wording for the prerequisite check for proposing setting group/owner of the install folder/parent folder of the installation
• added check for moving files/folders within install dir to make sure files/folders are accessible through the given permissions
• user will now be forced to properly set file permissions of the “install” and all its sub folders during install to prevent fail of copying/moving folders

[cudgets library]

• fixed an issue with the cudgets library that would attach a cache buster manually to each url on Ext.Ajax’ event “beforerequest”, instead of using the “disableCaching” option directly; this would urls cause to be generated with two cache busters (closes #353)

[Feeds module - client]

• removed a condition in FeedGrid.js that would check if a click in a cell happened while holding down shift/ctrl key, which would prevent the Feed Preview to properly hide any shown Feed Preview Window (closes #346)

[Email module - client]

• fixed an issue where fragments of the EmailPreview Window would remain once the window slides out of the view (closes #347)
• fixed an issue that would not abort pending requests when loading contents into the Email Editor if the corresponding panel was closed before the request could finish, by adding an additional configuration option “requestId” to the “formValues” object, which stores the id generated by the Ajax request. “Ext.Ajax.abort()” will now be called with this id if necessary (closes #317)

[Email module - backend]

• added method “getInboxFolderId()” to Email Module’s FolderModel to return the default inbox folder id; updated Letterman’s “assignFolderId()” to use this default value. This resolves some issues related to one installation being shared by multiple users

[Ext.ux.Wiz]

• updated Ext.ux.Wiz to work with Ext 3.1.2 and removed dependencies for Ext.ux.layout.CardLayout; fixed some minor issues that would not properly check if values in a card are valid, thus allowing to switch cards even if that shouldn’t be allowed

[Vendor]

• updated conjoon to use Ext 3.1.2, which fixes several minor ui issues and provides minor usability improvements

We are proud to announce the immediate release of conjoon 0.1.1. This is a maintenance release in the 0.1 series, which includes mainly bug fixes.

Notable changes in conjoon 0.1.1:

• [Ext.ux.Livegrid] brought Ext.ux.Livegrid 0.4.1 into the main dev branch which fixes an issue reported by hflipman (http://www.conjoon.org/forum/showthread.php?346) regarding the loading of selections

• [Reception module - client] fixed a consequence of a possible race condition that could occur if a user sets the workbench into “standby”, then a login with the same user credentials is done on another machine, and the previously locked workbench is unlocked again

• [General] fixed several trailing comma issues that would prevent IE7 from starting the application

• [YoutubePlayer] updated conjoon to use Ext.ux.YoutubePlayer 0.4 which fixes a few issues and introduces functionality to chose from different video resolutions based on the resolutions the currently playing video provides

• [Feeds module - backend] fixed an issue where item facade’s “importAndAddFeedItems()” would not handle an exception other than “Zend_Http_Client_Exception” properly, thus breaking updating other feed items resources if any other exception was thrown

We would like to announce the immediate availability of conjoon 0.1. This release focuses on improving the stability of the conjoon 0.1.x branch. If you have already conjoon 0.1RC3 installed, you won’t need to install this release, since no changes where made to the last release candidate.
In the meantime, we have started to work on the 0.2 branch, which will bring full IMAP and local cache support.

We are proud to announce the third release candidate of conjoon 0.1 (conjoon 0.1RC3). This RC focuses on issues we came across during tests on various systems, and we want to thank Marc Steinert and Johannes Hahn for providing us with detailed bug reports.

Please download and test this release candidate, and report any issues found. A stable release is expected next week. In case of critical issues we will continue producing weekly RCs.
