Site admins are emailed about these requests, and can + resolve them from the admin interface. +* For attachments where we rely on Google Document Viewer to display the + HTML version, link to the HTTPS version where the Alaveteli site is + served over HTTPS to avoid mixed content warnings and non display in + some browsers (Matthew Somerville). +* The 'view requests' page now has some fragment caching backed by + memcached to speed up serving commonly used lists of requests - e.g + all successful requests. Like the caching introduced in release 0.16, + this is controlled by the `CACHE_FRAGMENTS` parameter in the config + file and will be on by default. +* A user's annotations can now be seen on their admin page (Andrew + Black) +* Better detection of the quoted text of a previous email in the HTML + parts of responses. +* Fixed bugs in the profile photos (György Peng), calendar translations + (Mark Longair), the use of external utilities (Ian Chard), the + internal admin authority locale handling (Mark Longair), badly formed + attachment handling (Rowan Crawford). + +## Upgrade notes + +* To use the batch request functionality, set the `ALLOW_BATCH_REQUESTS` + parameter to `true` in your config file. Once this is done, and the + install has been restarted, any user for whom 'Can make batch + requests' is checked in the admin interface should see a new link on + the 'Select an authority' page that allows them to make a batch + request. +* If your theme overrides the help/requesting template, you should + update the link in the section on requesting new authorities so the + link points to `<%= new_change_request_path %>` instead of `<%= + help_contact_path %>`. +* If your site runs over HTTPS, some cached attachments may still + contain links to Google Document Viewer with 'http', not 'https'. You + can clear the cached attachments after upgrade, and they will be + created with links that use the correct protocol. +* This release includes an update to the commonlib submodule - you + should be warned about this when running rails-post-deploy. + # Version 0.16 ## Highlighted features diff --git a/doc/INSTALL.md b/doc/INSTALL.md index 3decb53a3..04cdb1352 100644 --- a/doc/INSTALL.md +++ b/doc/INSTALL.md @@ -21,9 +21,9 @@ instances; you will need to use at least a Small instance, which Amazon will charge for.
