MidCOM 1.3.0 released

MidCOM development was started by Linksystem Muenchen in March 2002, and it has since evolved into a stable and production-proven platform. MidCOM is available under GNU LGPL.

Major changes since MidCOM 1.1.1:

• Core
• An interface to serve snippet code fields like file attachments has been added.
• JavaScript output interface code is now available through the core, not just AIS. The old midcom.admin.content interface will be deprecated in the next release.
• Improvements to the DBM Caching reference implementation: Increased robustnss against cache corruption vastly; I18n awareness added.
• A basic filesystem-only caching implementation has been added. It currently lacks i18n awareness.
• Datamanager
  • Improved object creation support, that should get rid of most dummy objects dangling around. See the de.linkm.taviewer reference implementation and the datamanagers documentation for details. 
  • NemeinRCS support
  • New DHTML date widget
  • New unixdate datatype
  • Added an interface to display single widget wherever you like. (Great for database applications.)
  • Mostly decoupled datamanager from AIS. Not all features supported outside AIS yet, but 95% of the work is done.
  • Image datatype now removes ICC profiles upon upload.
• Navigation Access Point System (NAP)
• View this page / Edit this page helper functions added.

For a complete list of changes, please see the CHANGES file in the MidCOM distribution. There were no major API changes.

MidCOM requires working PHP 4.1 or later with the iconv extension and Midgard 1.4.4 or later. In addition, Aegir 1.0.1 is recommended for using the MidCOM Site Template package.
