More information at http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.13/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper/highlight + and + http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.13/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper/excerpt +* If you don't want to use fragment caching, you can turn it off in your + config file by setting `CACHE_FRAGMENTS` to `false`. +* If you use a locale with an underscore in it, you should double check + that the locale field of your `public_body_translations` table shows + the underscore version of the locale name. +* This release includes an update to the commonlib submodule - you + should be warned about this when running rails-post-deploy +* All code has been moved out of the deprecated plugin path + `vendor/plugins`. Once you are up and running under 0.16, you should + check that your xapian databases have all been copied to + `lib/acts_as_xapian/xapiandbs` (the code in + `config/initializers/acts_as_xapian` should do this), and then check + and remove any files under vendor/plugins so that you won't get + deprecation warnings about having Rails 2.3 style plugins (deprecation + warnings can result in incoming mail getting an auto reply under some + email configs). + # Version 0.15 ## Highlighted features |
