Nucleus v3.0 RC (April 27, 2004)

  • CHANGED: Labeled it v3.0, since users started believing "2.5 beta == 25 final"
  • FIXED: XML-RPC: metaWeblog.editPost assigned the default category again when no categories were passed along (karma).
  • FIXED: XML-RPC: mt.getPostCategories returned an invalid result (karma)
  • CHANGED: On clean install, RSS and Atom feeds contain full items rather than excerpts only (karma)
  • REMOVED: Clean installation does not include RSS 0.91 feed anymore. Only the RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 feeds are included (karma)
  • ADDED: When a skin provides a preview thumbnail, it is displayed in the skin overview (include prefix required, 100x75 preview.png, preview-large.png). Also, when a readme.html file is present in the skin include dir, a link to that file is added (karma)
  • CHANGED: Allowed skin names to have slashes (/) in them (karma)
  • FIXED: When adding media in non-IE browsers, all text was removed
  • FIXED: Wrong times displayed / 'no such item' errors when MySQL server and PHP server are in different timezones (karma)
  • ADDED: Made sure language files for v2.5beta can be used with v2.5final without strange strings (e.g. _SETTINGS_EXTAUTH) showing up in the admin area (karma)
  • FIXED: No CSS styles were applied on 'insert media' popup (karma)
  • FIXED: Some more possible problems with URL linking in comments (karma)
  • FIXED: In Opera, buttons on the extended area added text to the main body text instead (karma)
  • CHANGED: Admin pages are being sent as text/html instead of application/xhtml+xml again, since it caused too much javascript problems. When $CONF['debug'] is 1 however, the pages are still sent as application/xhtml+xml (karma)
  • FIXED: itemlink in templatevars didn't include itemid when used on item skins (mas)
  • FIXED: Errors when deleting plugins with options (Curtis)
  • FIXED: & not encoded in category names/descriptions in admin area (karma)
  • ADDED: hasplugin option on if skinvars (Kazuhiko)

  • ADDED: HTTP Authentication (Frankenstein) (not in 3.0 final)
  • FIXED: When using the JavaScript buttons to add images/bold text/... to the extended text area, the text was added to the main text body instead if JavaScript toolbar style was set to 'simple' (karma)
  • FIXED: XML-RPC: Added postid in structs returned by metaWeblog.getPost and metaWeblog.getRecentPosts (karma)
  • FIXED: XML-RPC: metaWeblog.getRecentPosts expected a string instead of an int for the amountOfPosts parameter. (karma)
  • FIXED: convert linebreaks broke \r\n linebreaks (jmuto)
  • FIXED: On index and search skinparts, nextlink/prevlink could not be used before a blog or searchresults skinvar was called (karma)
  • FIXED: SQL errors when search query contained single quotes (') (karma)
  • FIXED: Backup did not store information about FULLTEXT keys. (karma)
  • ADDED: Extended the date templatevariables with pre-defined formats utc and iso8601 (needed for Atom syndication; karma)

  • CHANGED: Plugin options are no longer limited to 128 characters (karma)
  • CHANGED: Exported skins are now saved as skinbackup.xml instead of skindata.xml to avoid confusion. (karma)

  • FIXED: Fix for bookmarklet, which failed in Opera (jmuto)
  • FIXED: nextitemtitle and previtemtitle skinvars did not htmlencode their output (karma)
  • CHANGED/ADDED: make all skinvars that insert links consistent. They can now all take a linktext parameter to insert a full link instead of a raw link. The nextlink/prevlink on search/index pages (introduced 2.5 beta) had to change for this. Skinvars that can take a linktext: todaylink, archivelink, prevlink, nextlink and itemlink (karma)
  • FIXED: XML-RPC: mt.setPostCategories asumed that isPrimary was always present (karma)
  • FIXED: Plugins that generate output when they are loaded can not longer break backups. (Xiffy)
