MidCOM 2.4.2 released

MidCOM is the default Content Management interface in Midgard CMS, and provides developers a production-proven architecture for building new web applications. With the MidCOM framework PHP applications have powerful localization, configuration, templating and data abstraction features. This is the first bugfix release for the current stable strain, which add also a few minor features from the current development branch.

Noteworthy changes since the 2.4.1 release, including the changes that were released in the 2.4.1-1 hotfix release:

• Baseclasses
• Component Request base class now adds the topic to the request data by default.
• Component Admin Request base class no longer mixes up the meta and topic toolbars.
  
• Datamanager
• Activated ENT_QUOTES mode for htmlspecialchars where neccessary.
• Fixed several typos for the smiley configuration of the communityhtml datatype
  
• Distribution Package
• Added the autoconf.php script.
  
• Indexer
• Fixed the query interface to correctly work with non-UTF8 sites, this fixes #201.
• The documents now replace all HTML Tags by a space, instead of just stripping them. This solves the <li>torben</li><li>nehmer</li> problem outlined in #250, but introduces new problems with phrases, as #255 shows.
  
• NAP
• Added protection against infinite loops in get_breadcrumb_line.
