Midgard Components Framework 2.1.2 released
Posted on 2005-02-03 11:53:09 CET.
GĂNZBURG -- The Midgard Project has released the latest development version 2.1.2 of MidCOM - the Midgard Components Framework. MidCOM is a PHP-based component framework for the Midgard Content Management System. This version is considered the first integration build for the upcoming 2.2.0 release, as no more new features are allowed into this branch anymore.
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 second of a few relase candiadates for the upcoming 2.0.0
release. No more new features will be allowed into this branch
and it is now open for translation updates (see a separate, upcoming
annoucement for this).
Noteworthy changes since the 2.0 release branch:
- Core
- Added new interface functions to add additional Head tags other then JScipt stuff: add_(link|style|object|meta)_head. Replaced print_jscripts() with print_head_elements(). (The old method is deprecated but maps to the new one for some time.)
- Added an URL interface to the new Permalinks (midcom-permalink-$guid). It redirects to the NAP objects' MIDCOM_NAV_FULLURL in a MidCOM-cacheable manner.
- The cache now correctly treats pages with empty content (Location: redirects). The ETag is generated from all headers in that case.
- Added a get_host_prefix helper which generates a fully qualified URL to the root of the host (https[s]://domain[:port]/prefix/) for convenience.
- AIS
- Added a new topic/article sorting GUI (curtesy of tarjei).
- NAP
- Added Permalink support using an intelligent reverse-GUID-lookup mechanism. Fully qualified Permalinks are available through NAP using MIDCOM_NAV_PERMALINK.
- Added a automatically computed fully qualified URL to the NAP object accessible through MIDCOM_NAV_FULLURL. (This is a regular URL, no Permalink.)
