DESCRIPTION
    This document lists the Changes to Bricolage introduced with each
    release.

VERSION 1.8.9 (2006-01-23)
  Improvements
    *   Added missing foreign key constraints and indexes on the
        "category_keyword", "story_keyword", "media_keyword",
        "element_member", and "media_contributor" tables. This should make
        keyword lookups, at least, much faster. [David]

    *   When a story or media document is published with an expiration date
        earlier than the publish date, the UI will now properly report that
        the document has been "expired", rather than "published". Thanks to
        Simon Wilcox for the spot. [David]

    *   The Bulk Publish interface in the UI now displays the name of the
        site alongside the category if there is more than one site, so as to
        disambiguate the list of categories. Reported by Marshall Roch.
        [David]

    *   Added constraints to the story and media tables in the database to
        prevent the publish status from becoming out of sync with the
        publish date and first publish date. [David]

    *   Changed code to show the first displayable data field of a
        subelement when viewing or editing an asset as opposed to only text
        fields. [Paul Orrock]

    *   Bric::SOAP::Workflow's publish method now schedules a publish job
        instead of immediately publishing, thus allowing the "publish_date"
        parameter to actually work, and ensuring that the proper version is
        published. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed misnamed and/or missing keyword foreign keys on the
        "category_keyword", "story_keyword", and "media_keyword" tables.
        [David]

    *   Documents created or updated via SOAP will now set the publish date
        to the same value as the first publish date if the latter is set and
        the former is not. [David]

    *   The Burner "publish()" method now sets the publish date to the
        current date and time if it was not specified via an argument. This
        will hopefully fix instances of stories and media in the database
        with the "first_publish_date" set but not the "publish_date".
        [David]

    *   The version 1.8.8 upgrade script that moves media files around no
        longer fails when the media directory doesn't exist (because no
        media documents have been created). Reported by Wayne Slavin.
        [David]

    *   Upgrades no longer fail if $BRICOLAGE_ROOT is not set and the
        instance of Bricolage to be upgraded is somewhere other than
        /usr/local/bricolage. Reported by Nate Perry-Thistle. [David]

    *   Backported database upgrade permissions changes from Bricolage 1.10
        so that the permissions are set for the super user for upgrade
        scripts such as inst/upgrade/1.8.7/move_media.pl and as the
        PostgreSQL user only when an upgrade script loads
        inst/upgrade/lib/bric_upgrade.pm. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for
        reporting the permissions bug with the 1.8.7 upgrade script. [David]

    *   Fixed file names for files uploaded by MSIE on Windows. Again.
        Reported by Wayne Slavin. [David]

    *   Modified the "set_publish_status()" and "set_published_version()"
        methods of Bric::Biz::Asset::Business so that they each make sure
        that the other is set. This will hopefully prevent only one from
        being set. [David]

    *   A media document that has a file uploaded to it before it is ever
        saved will no longer cause it to store the media file in a directory
        without an ID mapping it to the media document. This only affected
        installations where media were created by some method other than the
        Bricolage UI or SOAP. Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

    *   Story and Media on the search result page are now correctly sorted
        by the "Default Asset Sort" preference, or title if the preference
        is not set. [Paul Orrock]

    *   Removed commented-out SQL that was appearing at the end of
        inst/Pg.sql. The comment style, "/* */", caused problems with
        PostgreSQL 7.3 and earlier. Reported by Jerry Franz, with the
        underlying problem identified by "aander07". [David]

    *   Media file names are now URI-escaped for inclusion in the URIs
        returned by "get_uri()" and "get_primary_uri()". Reported by Alexey
        Sheynuk. [David]

    *   The burner now looks up existing resources (files) by both file
        system path and URI, instead of just the file system path, since the
        combination of the path and the URI are globally unique, not just
        the path. Reported by Paul Hyland. [David]

    *   Publishing a document with a related document, where the related
        document is still at version 0 (because it has never been checked
        in), now properly displays a message indicating that the related
        document cannot be published because it is checked out. [David]

    *   Removed testing code from the default book_review.mc template on the
        file system (not present in the template in the database) that was
        put in place before the release of 1.8.6. [David]

    *   Eliminated an error in the permissions screen when a site with
        workflows has been deleted. Reported by Frank Febbraro. [David]

    *   Fixed the "help on event logs" link in the Trail help page. Reported
        by Scott. [David]

    *   If a desk or My Workspace does not have assets of a particular type
        (stories, media, or templates) on it, it will no longer display
        buttons for them. Reported by Scott. [David]

    *   Fixed the sorting menus for templates on desks. Also fixed them for
        all assets on desks so that sorting on categories sorts by URIs
        (which are displayed) rather than names. Template sorting issues
        reported by Scott. [David]

    *   Adding a variable to the message in an alert type now properly
        triggers the update of the message character count. Reported by
        Scott. [David]

    *   Changed the media type for the files in the JavaScript directory
        from "application/x-javascript", which Safari 2.03 didn't seem to
        like, to "text/javascipt", which is what it should have been all
        along, anyway. [David]

    *   Fixed sorting of SQL files for concatenation into inst/Pg.sql so
        that it should now always be in the right order, regardless of the
        local system's locale settings. This issue only applied to those
        running "make dist" or "make inst/Pg.sql", since distributions
        already have inst/Pg.sql. [David]

    *   URIs are now always constructed with the cover date reflecting the
        global Time Zone preference, rather than the setting from a user's
        overriding Time Zone preference. This prevents URI conflicts and
        makes searches for URIs with dates in them consistent. Reported by
        Li Li. [David]

VERSION 1.8.8 (2005-10-27)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed thumbnail URIs broken in 1.8.7. [David]

    *   Fixed the "media expire" event. [David]

    *   Media documents with more than one file version are no longer
        expired as soon as they're published. Reported by Wayne Slavin.
        [David]

    *   Added upgrade script to adjust the file names of media files in the
        resource table in the database to be in sync with the new names on
        the file system introduced in 1.8.7. [David]

VERSION 1.8.7 (2005-10-24)
  Improvements
    *   The installer now prefers typical installation paths over those in
        the $PATH environment variable when searching for Apache and
        PostgreSQL installations. This is to favor servers installed
        manually over those included with the operating system. [David]

    *   Added a partial index on the "comp_time" column of the job table so
        as to speed up lookups of jobs yet to be completed. This was
        originally in a 1.6.7 upgrade script, but never made it into the SQL
        for new installations. Suggested by Mark Jaroski. [David]

    *   The Bulk Publish feature in the UI now only publishes the previously
        published versions of unexpired stories and media, rather than the
        latest version of expired and unexpired stories and media, thus
        avoiding errors when documents are checked out. [David]

    *   If a story passed to the "publish_another()" or "preview_another()"
        burner methods is the same as the story currently being burned, it
        will no longer be published or previewed again by
        "publish_another()" or "preview_another()", thus mitigating the
        possibility of infinite loops. [David]

    *   Added an "Expired" event for when stories and media are expired.
        Suggested by Joshua Edelstein. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The Template Toolkit and HTML::Template burners work again. [David]

    *   Fixed syntax error in Bric::Util::Trans::SFTP. Reported by Kenneth
        Marshall. [David]

    *   Eliminated "Subroutine Bric::App::Handler::rethrow_exception
        redefined" warning during startup with HTML::Mason 1.30. [David]

    *   Fixed the "no_site_id" parameter to Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting
        when specified using the "ANY()" function. [David]

    *   Fixed an error in comp/widgets/wrappers/sharky/header.mc caused by
        having a custom field beginning with a leading underscore. [Scott]

    *   Errors thrown when setting element field values will now be
        displayed as error messages within the context of the element
        profile, rather than throwing a fatal exception. This is useful for
        invalid dates, for example. [David]

    *   The SOAP interface for categories now properly checks for and sets
        as appropriate the "active" attribute on categories being created or
        updated. Reported by Phillip Smith. [David]

    *   Updated for compatibility with PostgreSQL 8.1. [David]

    *   Defunct media files are now properly removed from the delivery
        server whenever a media document's file name has changed. Reported
        by Brad Fox. [David]

    *   Clicking the "Return" button when viewing a subelement in a story or
        media document not checked out by the user no longer drops into edit
        view. Reported by John Greene. [David]

    *   Attempting to create a category with the same URI as an existing but
        deactivated category once again fails with a useful error message
        rather than a database exception. Reported by Marshall. [David]

    *   New elements and fields will now have any leading or trailing white
        space trimmed, rather than converted to underscores. Reported by
        Scott Lanning. [David]

    *   Multiple select list custom fields no longer throw an exception when
        you select more than one value for the default value. Reported by
        Scott. [David]

    *   In a story or media profile, deleting a subelement with the same ID
        as a field (or vice-versa) will no longer delete both. Reported by
        Scott Lanning. [David]

VERSION 1.8.6 (2005-07-19)
  Improvements
    *   Added JavaScript code to validate that the username in the user
        profile does not have leading or trailing spaces. [David]

    *   When started by the super user, bric_queued now runs as the same
        user as the Bricolage Apache server. This allows it to run as a user
        that isn't otherwise available as a login on the system (such as the
        typical "nobody" or "www" user). [David]

    *   Added support for starting bric_queued in the Linux startup script
        in contrib/start_scripts/. [David]

    *   The "get_related_story()" and get_related_media() methods of the
        element class now return "undef" in a list context when there is no
        related asset. [David]

    *   Events in the event log are now returned (and displayed) in reverse
        chronological order. [David]

    *   The SOAP server now uses a user's template sandbox when executing
        previews (such as with "bric_soap --to-preview workflow publish").
        Reported by Marshall. [David]

    *   A job no longer throws an exception when it can't get a lock on
        itself for execution. This is because the inability to get a lock
        may well be due to a race condition with another process. There's no
        need to throw an exception when it can't get a lock because another
        process has a lock. So it generates a warning, instead. Reported by
        Bill Cappell. [David]

    *   Bric::Biz::Workflow now caches calls to "allowed_desks()". This will
        allow desks to render *much* Faster, since most assets on a desk
        will list the same desks in the "Move to" select lists. [David]

    *   When the "PUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS" bricolage.conf directive is
        enabled, aliases are now also republished. Only aliases that have
        previously been published will be republished, and only the last
        published version will be republished, rather than any versions
        created since the last publish. Suggested by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Added the "secret" parameter to the "list()", "list_ids()", and
        "href()" methods of Bric::Util::Grp. [David]

    *   The "set_page_extensions()" method of the burner class now provides
        a list of duplicate extensions in the exception thrown when
        duplicate extensions are passed to it. [Paul Orrock]

    *   A story or media document published with an expire date earlier than
        the scheduled publish time no longer bothers with the publish but
        just expires the story or media document. [David]

    *   When two events in a list have the same timestamp, they are no
        longer listed in order by ID relative to each other, but relative to
        ID *descending*, to ensure that the one logged first will be listed
        after the one logged next. [David]

    *   Media documents without an associated media file will no longer be
        displayed in the search results when attempting to relate a media
        document to an element. Reported by Adam Rinehart. [David]

    *   When a template is moved to a new category, its ACL is now properly
        updated in the cached copy in the user's session, as well as in the
        database. [David]

    *   Changed the "published_version" parameter to the "list()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting (the template class) to
        "deployed_version", but kept "published_version" as an alias.

    *   Optimized "path" and "parent" searches in the Category "list_ids"
        SOAP method. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The SOAP server now properly includes the start desk when it checks
        CREATE permissions for creating stories, media, or templates.
        Reported by Alexandra Gershman. [David]

    *   Form validation and group management now properly work in the user
        profile. [David]

    *   Fixed the "story__category" table to use the correct sequence for
        the id column's default value (although the default is never used,
        this is a good precaution). Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

    *   Stories and media documents now better pay attention to the letter
        case specification of output channels when returning URIs. Thanks to
        Jos Castro for the spot. [Marshall]

    *   Stories now properly set the letter case of file names in URIs when
        "STORY_URI_WITH_FILENAME" is enabled. Reported by Jos Castro.
        [David]

    *   The bricolage.conf "PERL_LOADER" directive now works properly with
        bric_queued. [David]

    *   The SFTP mover now works with "bric_queued". [David]

    *   Fixed misspelled database index name. Spotted by Scott. [David]

    *   Error messages are now properly localized in "bric_queued". [David]

    *   Stories updated via SOAP to change categories will no longer leave
        the old categories associated with the story. [David]

    *   Media uploads no longer sometimes fail with an SQL error. [Rod
        Taylor]

    *   "All Types" now properly shows up at the top of the Types select
        list in the Advanced Search. [Marshall]

    *   Creating media with related stories via the SOAP interface will no
        longer cause the bizarre "Could not find httpd.xml" error. Reported
        by Curtis Poe. [David]

    *   Removed possible circular processing of story and media documents
        when creating new story or media documents via SOAP. [David]

    *   Previewing and publishing multipage stories created through
        bric_soap now properly burn all of the pages. [Scott]

    *   Cloned stories now properly set the "published_version" attribute to
        "undef" rather than the value of the original story, thus preventing
        the clone from having a published version number greater than its
        current version number. Reported by Nate Perry-Thistle and Joshua
        Edelstein. [David and Nate Perry-Thistle]

    *   The bric_media_upload contrib script now uses the site argument (if
        there is one) to search for categories. This will prevent it from
        finding a category in one site but not the upload target site.
        [David]

    *   Fixed two bugs with "bric_template_diff". "File::Spec::Functions"
        now properly exports "catfile()" and "--from--site" and "--to-site"
        now properly search on the site rather than the output channel.
        [Ovid]

    *   When a category is added to a story that creates a URI conflict, the
        new category does not remain associated with the story in the story
        profile after the conflict error has been thrown. Reported by Paul
        Orrock. [David]

    *   The "alias_id" parameter to the "list()" method of the story and
        media classes has been documented. [David]

    *   Usernames are now SQL-escaped before being looked up when a user
        attempts to log in. The prevents errors when, for example, there are
        two users named "food" and "foo_", and "foo_" attempts to login and
        gets a failure. [David]

    *   All calls to "lookup()" methods by the SOAP server that pass string
        values to look up (such as category URIs and site, workflow, and
        desk names) are SQL escaped so as to prevent conflicts similar to
        those noted above for usernames. Reported by Scott Lanning. [David]

    *   Contributor groups created in the contributor profile are no longer
        missing from the contributor manager search interface. Reported by
        Rachel Murray and Scott. [David]

    *   "ANY()" now works properly for the "output_channel_id" parameter to
        the list() method of the story and media classes. Reported by Serge
        Sozonoff. [David]

    *   The favicon.ico works again. [David]

    *   Stories are now properly expired when the "BRIC_QUEUED"
        bricolage.conf directive is enabled. Reported by Scott. [David]

    *   When a template is checked out of the library and then the checkout
        is canceled, it is no longer left on the desk it was moved into upon
        the checkout, but properly reshelved. Reported by Marshall. [David]

    *   Media created with the default "Image" and "Photograph" media type
        elements will now properly supply a "Lock val" check box for
        autopopulated fields. Reported by Marshall. [David]

    *   Super Bulk Edit now works for media as well as stories. Reported by
        Scott. [David]

    *   The description attribute of stories, media, and templates is now
        properly limited to 1024 characters in the UI. Reported by Scott.
        [David]

    *   When a template is moved to a new category, the old version of the
        template is undeployed when the new version is deployed to the new
        category. The versions in the sandbox are properly synced, as well.

    *   Eliminated a compile-time warnings from
        contrib/bric_media_upload/bric_media_upload. [David]

VERSION 1.8.5 (2005-03-18)
  Improvements
    *   Added the "checked_in" parameter to the "lookup()", "list()", and
        "list_ids()" methods of the story, media, and template classes. If
        passed a true value, this parameter causes the checked in version of
        the most current version of the story to be returned. When a story
        is checked out, there are two instances of the current version: the
        one checked in last, and the one currently being edited. When the
        "checked_in" parameter is a true value, then the instance last
        checked in is returned, rather than the instance currently checked
        out. This is useful for users who do not currently have a story
        checked out and wish to see the story as of the last check in,
        rather than as currently being worked on in the current checkout. If
        a story is not currently checked out, this parameter has no effect.

  Bug Fixes
    *   Previews on non-checked out stories and media work again. [David]

    *   Preview and views once again preview a story or media document as it
        was last checked in, rather than as it might be currently being
        worked on in a current checkout. [David]

VERSION 1.8.4 (2005-03-18)
  Improvements
    *   Made story profile's subelement 'Preview In' output-channel list
        consistent with the top level one (e.g. editing a Page shows the
        same preview OCs as editing the Story at the top level). [Scott]

    *   Added Linux startup script contrib/start_scripts/linux. [David]

    *   Added "version_id" parameter to the "list()" methods of the story,
        media, and template classes. Oversight reported by Kang-min Liu.
        [David]

    *   Distribution via SFTP is now atomic and respects the
        "FTP_UNLINK_BEFORE_MOVE" directive. Spotted by Patrick Michael Kane.
        [David]

    *   Related story and media elements managed through the SOAP server can
        now use a combination of URI and site ID to identify related assets
        in addition to the existing approach of using story and media IDs.
        [David]

    *   Email sent by Bricolage now set the send date, since our
        understanding is that the MUA is responsible for setting the date
        and some SPAM filters trigger on missing Date: headers. [Cameron
        Miller]

    *   The media type manager now validates media type names to ensure that
        they are of the form "type/subtype" with no spaces. Suggested by
        Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   When started up by the super user, the virtual FTP server now runs
        as the same user as the Bricolage Apache server. This should prevent
        malicious users of the virtual FTP server from being able to do
        things as the root user that they shouldn't. [Keith Grennan]

    *   SQL errors encountered when building the database are now fatal,
        meaning that they will cause the entire installation to fail, rather
        than continuing to execute SQL statements and build an incomplete
        database. This prevents the creation broken databases when people
        didn't notice errors in the past. [David]

    *   A list of subelements is now less likely to mysteriously become out
        of order and thus lead to strange action-at-a-distance errors. And
        even if they do become out of order, the error message will be more
        appropriate ("Warning! State inconsistent" instead of "Can't call
        method 'get_name' on an undefined value"). Reported by Curtis Poe.
        [David]

    *   Updated mail list information in Bric::Hacker. Reported by Marshall
        Roch. [David]

    *   The SOAP media interface now supports creating relationships between
        the media documents elements and other story and media documents,
        just like the SOAP story interface does. [David]

    *   The SOAP interface now supports Related stories and media on story
        type and media type elements just as in the UI. This involved the
        somewhat hackish necessity for including the "related_story_id" and
        "related_media_id" (or "related_story_uri" and "related_media_uri")
        attributes in the "elements" XML element, but it does the trick.
        [David]

    *   The list of elements to select from when creating a new template is
        now in alphabetical order. [David]

    *   The XML representation of media documents used by the SOAP server
        now supports the media type of the file. [David]

    *   The "multi" install destination is now the default, rather than the
        "single" install destination. The two styles ("multi" and "single")
        are now also better described during installation. [David]

    *   When the installer prompts for database passwords, it no longer
        echoes them to the terminal. Suggested by Marshall. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Versions of Perl that disallow the use of the "-I" argument in a
        setuid environment will no longer cause the upgrade to fail.
        Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   The new support for a false value to the "checked_out" parameter to
        the "list()" methods of the story, media, and template classes is
        now properly supported by the SOAP "list_ids" method, as well.
        [David]

    *   Calls to publish documents via SOAP will no longer fail if the
        "published_version" attribute is not specified and the document to
        be published has never been published before. [David]

    *   The Bricolage virtual FTP server will no longer fail to start if
        Template Toolkit is installed but its version number is less than
        2.14. Reported by Adam Rinehart. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where nothing would ever publish if you had
        "PUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS" enabled in bricolage.conf. [Mark]

    *   Added "slug" to the list of attributes specified in the error
        message for a non-unique URI in a story. Thanks to Rachel Murray for
        the spot! [David]

    *   Fix in the SOAP server code to adjust for changes in
        Exception::Class 1.20. [David]

    *   Stories and Media created or updated via the SOAP interface will now
        associate contributors of the appropriate type, instead of "All
        Contributors". [Scott & David]

    *   Deleting an element that has a template no longer causes an error.
        Thanks to Susan for the spot! [David]

    *   Eliminated encoding errors when using the SOAP interface to output
        stories, media, or templates with wide characters. Reported by Scott
        Lanning. [David]

    *   Fields with a an empty string or 0 (zero) for their values will no
        longer be displayed as "Not defined" when viewing a story. [David]

    *   Reverting (stories, media, templates) no longer gives an error.
        Reported by Simon Wilcox, Rachel Murray, and others. [David]

    *   Publishing a published version of a document that has a later
        version in workflow will no longer cause that later version to be
        mysteriously removed from workflow. This could be caused by passing
        a document looked up using the "published_version" to "list()" to
        "$burner->publish_another" in a template. [David]

    *   The SOAP server story and media interfaces now support elements that
        contain both related stories and media, rather than one or the
        other. [David]

    *   Attempting to preview a story or media document currently checked
        out to another user no longer causes an error. Reported by Paul
        Orrock. [David]

    *   Desk asset buttons are no longer broken in non-English
        localizations. Thanks to Scott Lanning for the spot! [David]

    *   Subelements will be properly deleted when selecting a "Delete"
        checkbox and clicking "Save" or "Save and Stay" in the story or
        media profile. It always worked in the element profile, and now it's
        consistent across document profile interfaces. Spotted by Scott
        Lanning. [David]

    *   Custom fields with default values now have their values included
        when they are added to stories and media. Thanks to Clare Parkinson
        for the spot! [David]

    *   The "get_desk_stamps()" method in the asset classes has been
        deprecated (it never worked, anyway) and will be removed in
        Bricolage 1.10.0. The same goes for the "required_satisfied()"
        method in Bric::Biz::Workflow. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Subclasses of the media class no longer cause errors when
        distributing files via "bric_queued". Thanks to Jason Edgecombe for
        the spot! [David]

    *   Elements created via SOAP now correctly have site IDs associated
        with them. [David]

    *   The "All" alphabetical search now properly escapes the "%" wild card
        character. Thanks to Frank Holtz for the spot! [David]

    *   The "bric_queued" script now requires a username and password and
        will authenticate the user. This user will then be used for logging
        events. All events logged when a job is run via the UI are now also
        logged by "bric_queued". [Mark and David]

    *   Jobs now get a "Job Created" event logged when they are created.
        Reported by Rachel Murray. [David and Mark]

    *   Eliminated "Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//)"
        warnings when uploading media files. Reported by Scott Lanning.
        [David]

    *   Preview redirections now use the protocol setting of the preview
        output channel if it's available, and falls back on using "http://"
        when it's not, instead of using the hard-coded "http://". Thanks to
        Martin Bacovsky for the spot! [David]

    *   The "has_keyword()" method in the Business class (from which the
        story and media classes inherit) now works. Thanks to Clare
        Parkinson for the spot! [David]

    *   Templates that abort during calls "preview_another()" now properly
        abort when not using "PREVIEW_LOCAL". [Paul Orrock]

    *   Clicking a link in the left-side navigation after the session has
        expired now causes the whole window to show the login form, rather
        than it showing inside the nav frame, which was useless. [Marshall]

    *   The names of media types (a.k.a. MIME types) can now be changed
        without encountering an error. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Media type MIME Type names are now properly required in the UI.
        [David]

    *   Fixed typo in the virtual FTP server which was causing an error when
        saving a template. [Keith Grennan]

    *   The JavaScript that validates form contents once again works with
        htmlArea, provided htmlArea itself is patched. See
        <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1155712&gr
        oup_id=69750&atid=525656> for the htmlArea patch. As of this
        writing, you must run the version of htmlArea in CVS. [David &
        Marshall]

    *   The JavaScript that handles the double list manager has been vastly
        optimized. It should now be able to better handle large lists, such
        as a list of thousands of categories. Reported by Scott. [Marshall]

    *   Logging now works properly with the virtual FTP server. [Keith
        Grennan]

    *   Some cases in which it was impossible to add actions to a
        destination have been fixed. Reported by Marshall Roch. Thanks to
        Jason Edgecombe for making available a server that exhibits the
        problem. [David]

    *   The virtual FTP server no longer saves a template for every line in
        the template when the FTP client uses ASCII mode. Thanks to Keith
        Grennan for the spot! [David]

    *   Reverting a template to a previous version now properly updates to
        the reverted version on the user's sandbox. Also, canceling a
        checkout now properly removes a template from a user's sandbox.
        [David]

    *   When creating a new workflow, the workflow profile no longer forgets
        the selected site when you click the "New Desk" button. [David]

    *   Changing a template in such a way that it will be deployed to a new
        location (by changing the category, for example) once again deletes
        the previous version from the previous location when it is deployed.
        [David]

    *   Uploading a new image to a media document with a different media
        type than the previous image no longer causes an Imager error.
        [David]

VERSION 1.8.3 (2004-11-09)
  Improvements
    *   "make clone" now ignores files in the source directory that start
        with "bricolage-". This should prevent copying previous clones into
        the new clone. [David]

    *   Added contrib/thumbnails/precreate-thumbs.pl script to pre-create
        thumbnails from images. Useful for upgraders. [Scott]

    *   Added primary key to the "event_attr", "element__site", "story_uri",
        and "media_uri" tables in the database. This will make it easier to
        do database replication. [David and Kenneth Marshall]

    *   Added contrib/bric_import_contribs to import contributors from a
        tab-delimited file. Development by Kineticode, sponsored by the RAND
        Corporation. [David]

    *   Added the "published_version" parameter to the "list()" methods of
        the story, media, and template classes. This parameter forces the
        search to return the versions of the assets as they were last
        published, rather than the most recent version. This will be most
        useful to those looking up other documents in templates and
        publishing them, as a way of avoiding pulling documents out from
        other anyone who might have them checked out! [David]

    *   For those using the Template Toolkit burner, the required version is
        now 2.14, so as to take advantage of the improved Unicode support in
        that version. [David]

    *   All publishing and distribution jobs are now executed in their own
        transactions when they are triggered by the user interface. This is
        to reduce the chances of a deadlock between long-running publishing
        transactions. [David]

    *   The installer now requires PostgreSQL 7.3 or later. This is because
        7.2 hasn't worked properly with Bricolage since 1.8.0. [David]

    *   Optimized SQL queries for key names or that order by string values
        to use indexes in the "list()" and "list_ids()" methods of the
        story, media, and template classes. [David]

    *   The installer will now fail to install if the version of Apache is
        greater than version 1--that is, it will refuse to install under
        Apache 2 (for now). [David]

    *   Added Russian localization. [Sergey Samoilenko].

    *   Changed the foreign keys in the story, media, and formatting
        (template) tables so that "DELETE"s do not cascade, but are
        restricted. This means that before deleting any source, element,
        site, workflow, or other related object that has a foreign key
        reference in an asset table, those rows must be deleted. Otherwise,
        PostgreSQL will throw an exception. Hopefully, this will put a stop
        to the mysterious but very rare disappearance of stories from
        Bricolage. [David]

    *   The distribution monitor, bric_dist_mon, no longer populates HTTP
        headers with lists of Job IDs for execution. Instead, it simply
        sends a request to the distribution handler, and Bric::Dist::Handler
        looks up the jobs to execute itself. This fixes an issue with too
        many headers being put into the request, and makes the operation of
        Bric::Dist::Handler more efficient. [David]

    *   A call to "$burner->publish_another" in a template that passes in a
        date/time string in the future now causes a publish job to be
        scheduled for that time, rather than immediate burning the document
        and then scheduling the distribution to take place in the future.
        Reported by Ashlee Caul. [David]

    *   Improved context-sensitive help for the "New Template" profile.
        [Paul Orrock and David]

    *   Make slug actually be required when "ALLOW_SLUGLESS_NONFIXED" isn't
        enabled, in particular on the clone page. Thanks to Dharmender Yadav
        at Enabling Dimensions for part of the patch. [Scott]

    *   Removed the hack that commits a database transaction in the middle
        of a request that does a "Check in and Publish", since we now
        require PostgreSQL 7.3 and the bug that the hacked worked around was
        fixed in that release. [David]

    *   Added missing constraint to the "type" column of the "workflow"
        table. [David]

    *   Changing the sort order of a list of items in a search interface now
        properly reverses the entire collection of object over the pages,
        rather than just the objects for the current page. Thanks to
        Marshall for the spot! [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The localization libraries load without error again. Added tests to
        ensure that this doesn't happen again. [David]

    *   Publishing stories not in workflow via the SOAP server works again.
        [David]

    *   Documents that the SOAP workflow publish finds in workflow but not
        on a desk (which shouldn't happen, but sometimes does) are now just
        published anyway. [David]

    *   The Burner object's "encoding" attribute is now setable as well as
        readable. [David]

    *   The category browser works again. [David]

    *   Fixed the "event" table to use the correct sequence the for they id
        column's default value (although the default is never used, this is
        a good precaution). [David]

    *   Fixed Media Upload bug where the full local path was being used, by
        adding a 'winxp' key to Bric::Util::Trans::FS to account for an
        update to HTTP::BrowserDetect. [Mark Kennedy]

    *   A call to "$element->get_elements" in an array context when the
        element contains no subelements no longer returns an array
        reference. Reported by Clinton Gormley. [David]

    *   Fix bug 839 so that categories can be deleted. [Scott]

    *   Instances of a required custom field in story elements is no longer
        required once it has been deleted from the element definition in the
        element manager. Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

    *   A false value passed to the "checked_out" parameter of the "list()"
        and "list_ids()" methods of the story, media, and template
        (formatting) classes now properly returns only objects or IDs for
        assets that are not checked out. [David]

    *   The cover date select widget now works properly in the clone
        interface when a non-ISO style date preference is selected. Thanks
        to Susan G. for the spot! [David]

    *   By forcing the upgrade scripts to execute as the PostgreSQL user,
        running "make upgrade" with PostgreSQL "ident sameuser" security now
        works properly. [Keith Grennan]

    *   The "LoadModule" and "AddModule" httpd.conf directives should now be
        generated properly during installation. "LoadModule" will use
        "config_log_module" or "mod_log_config" depending on the system, but
        "AddModule" will always use mod_log_config.c. Spotted by Dave
        Jablonski. [Marshall]

    *   Deleted sites will no longer be displayed in the site context menu
        in the UI. Reported by Ed Stevenson. [David]

    *   Sorting templates based on Asset Type (Element) no longer causes an
        error. [David]

    *   Events are now logged during the cleanup phase in alphabetical order
        by event type key name, to prevent deadlocks between two
        transactions logging events of the same types in different orders at
        the same time. [David]

    *   Fixed a number of the callbacks in the story, media, and template
        profiles so that they didn't clear out the session before other
        callbacks were done with it. Most often seen as the error 'Can't
        call method "get_tiles" on an undefined value' in the media profile,
        especially with IE/Windows (for some unknown reason). Reported by Ed
        Stevenson. [David]

    *   Fixed typo in clone page that caused all output channels to be
        listed rather than only those associated with the element itself.
        [Scott]

    *   Fixed double listing of the "All" group in the group membership
        double list manager. [Christian Hauser]

    *   Mail sent for alerts and the like now has DOS and Macintosh
        line-endings converted to Unix so that they are displayed properly
        in most mail clients. [Christian Hauser and David]

    *   Documented required "user__id" parameter to the "new()" method in
        the story and media classes. Reported by Rod Taylor. [David]

    *   Image buttons now correctly execute the "onsubmit()" method for
        forms that define an "onsubmit" attribute. This means that, among
        other things, changes to a group profile will persist when you click
        the "Permissions" button. [David]

    *   Media type groups now properly display their members.

    *   The "Edit" link that showed up for categories associated with a
        story when the "ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER" bricolage.conf directive
        has been removed. It didn't belong there in the first place.
        Reported by Ho Yin Au. [David]

    *   Simple search now works when it is selected when the "Default
        Search" preference is set to "Advanced". Reported by Marshall Roch.
        [David]

    *   Multiple alert types set up to trigger alerts for the same event
        will now all properly execute. Thanks to Christian Hauser for the
        spot! [David]

    *   Publishing stories or media via SOAP with the "published_only"
        parameter ("--published-only" for bric_republish) now correctly
        republishes the published versions of documents even if the current
        version is in workflow. Reported by Adam Rinehart. [David]

    *   Added upgrade script to clean out old records left in the "member"
        table if users elected to delete old jobs during the 1.8.2 upgrade.
        [David]

    *   Users granted a permission greater than READ to the members of the
        "All Users" group no longer get such permission to any members of
        the "Global Admins" group unless they have specifically been granted
        such permission to the members of the "Global Admins" group. Thanks
        to Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

VERSION 1.8.2 (2004-11-13)
  Improvements
    *   Added note to the context-sensitive help for the story, media, and
        template search pages to search on "/" to return all records, and to
        use SQL wildcards such as "%" to generalize the search. [David]

    *   "make upgrade" no longer copies the entire installed component root
        to a new directory as a way to get rid of old UI component files. We
        now require that any deleted component files get removed from an
        existing installation via an upgrade script, instead. See
        inst/upgrade/1.7.0/delete_old_components.pl for an example. [David]

    *   Bricolage now runs under a DSO "mod_perl" as long as it uses a Perl
        compiled with "-Uusemymalloc" *or* "-Ubincompat5005". See
        <http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_
        Used> for details. Thanks to Marshall Roch for finding that link.
        [David]

    *   The New Story and New Media profiles by default no longer have a
        value selected for the Story Type or Media type (respectively), so
        as to prevent the inadvertent creation of documents of the wrong
        type. [David]

    *   Alerts triggered to be sent to users who don't have the appropriate
        contact information will now be logged for those users so that they
        can see them and acknowledge them under "My Alerts". [David]

    *   Added bric_media_dump script to contrib/. [David]

    *   The category association interface used in the story profile when
        the "ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER" bricolage.conf directive is enabled
        now uses radio buttons instead of a link to select the primary
        category. Suggested by Scott Lanning. [David]

    *   Search by site is now supported in the "Advanced Search" interface
        of "Find Stories", "Find Media", and "Find Templates" when there is
        more than one site and the "Filter by Site Context" preference is
        not turned on. [David]

    *   Removed Bric::FAQ, since it is now maintained on the Website,
        instead. [David]

    *   Updated Bric::Admin to suggest that PostgreSQL's "initdb" be run
        with "--no-locale" so as to avoid collation issues with non-Western
        characters. See this discussion for more information:
        <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-08/threads.php#01
        079>

    *   Added a warning to the story and media profiles for when related
        stories and media have been deactivated and a different story or
        media document should be related.

    *   Added output to the Apache log consisting of the 20 most recent
        events on an asset that has lost track of what workflow and/or desk
        it is on. This is to provide debugging information that might help
        us to track down when an asset forgets its workflow and/or desk, so
        that we might eventually be able to eliminate the code that picks up
        on this and corrects it. [David]

    *   The distribution monitor, bric_dist_mon, now prints error
        information to "STDERR" when there is an error, instead of just
        printing it to the system log. [David]

    *   Existing jobs are now executed within their own transactions, as
        opposed to no transaction specification. This means that each job
        must succeed or fail independent of any other jobs. New jobs are
        executed before being inserted into the database so as to keep them
        atomic within their surrounding transaction (generally a UI
        request). All this means that transactionality is much more
        intelligent for jobs and will hopefully eliminate job table
        deadlocks. Reported by Mark Jaroski, Serge Sozonoff, Patrick Michael
        Kane, and others. [David]

    *   The workflow, destination, and output channel profiles only display
        site information if the user has EDIT access to more than one site.
        The "Find Stories" and "Find Media" managers only display the site
        information for the listed documents if there is more than one site
        in Bricolage. Suggested by Scott Lanning. [David]

    *   Updated documentation of parameters to the "list()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting (the template class). Also documented a
        few parameters to the story and media class "list()" methods that
        were supported but previously undocumented. [David]

    *   Variables are now properly decoded to UTF-8 when they are populated
        from the database. [David]

    *   The strings used in translations are now all properly decoded to
        UTF-8. [David]

    *   All templates now execute with UTF-8 character strings enabled. This
        means that any templates that convert content to other character
        sets might need to change the way they do so. For example, templates
        that had used "<%filter>" blocks to convert content to another
        encoding using something like "Encode::from_to($_, 'utf-8',
        $encoding)" must now use something like "$_ =
        Encode::encode($encoding, $_)", instead. Bric::Util::CharTrans
        should continue to do the right thing. In either case, you'll also
        need to set the new "encoding" attribute, as well, (see next item).
        [David]

    *   Added "encoding" attribute to Bric::Util::Burner so that, if
        templates are outputting something other than Perl "utf8" decoded
        data, they can specify what they're outputting, and the file opened
        for output from the templates will be set to the proper mode.
        Applies to Perl 5.8.0 and later only. [David]

    *   Added example use for "$burner->display_pages" to
        Bric::AdvTemplates. [Cinly Ooi]

    *   Added README.Mandrake. [Cameron Miller]

    *   Added "SFTP_HOME" bricolage.conf directive to specify the home
        directory and location of SSH keys when SSH is enabled. [Cameron
        Miller]

    *   Users can no longer implicitly publish related stories and media via
        the UI that they don't have PUBLISH access to. [David]

    *   Users can no longer publish related documents via the UI or SOAP
        that are in workflow but not on a publish desk. [David]

    *   Added search by output channel to "Find Templates". [David]

    *   Previewing a document with a related media document that's checked
        out no longer triggers a "Cannot auto-publish related media because
        it is checked out" message. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The burner "next_page_file()" and "next_page_uri()" methods now
        properly return a value if the "burn_again" attribute has been set
        to a true value in the Mason burner. [David]

    *   The "list()" and "list_ids()" methods of the story, media, and
        template classes no longer return "undef" in a scalar context when
        there are no objects to be returned. They return an empty array
        reference, instead. [David]

    *   The "is_fixed()" method in the story and media classes now works
        properly. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   "make clone" once again properly copies the lib/Makefile.PL and
        bin/Makefile.PL files from the source directory. [David]

    *   Fixed the "my_meths()" method of Bric::Biz::AssetType::Parts::Data
        to return metadata for the the "key_name" attribute instead of an
        "undef" for the removed "name" attribute. [Scott]

    *   Added missing language-specifying HTML attributes so as to properly
        localize story titles and the like. Reported by Joshua Edelstein.
        [David]

    *   The list of output channels to add to an element in the element
        profile now contains the name of the site that each is associated
        with, since different sites can have output channels with the same
        names. [David]

    *   You can no longer delete a category from a story when you have also
        marked it to become the primary category. Reported by Simon Wilcox.
        [David]

    *   Editing notes from My Workspace now works properly. Thanks to Simon
        Wilcox for the spot! [David]

    *   The "Advanced Search" interface once again works for searching for
        related story and media documents. Reported by Ben Bangert and many
        others. [David]

    *   Renaming a site and its domain name now always properly renames the
        associated site permission user groups. Reported by Will Trillich.
        [David]

    *   The "Alias Story" interface now works properly when the
        "USE_THUMBNAILS" directive is enabled. Reported by Ben Bangert.
        [David]

    *   Attempting to create a new source with the same name as an existing
        but deactivated source no longer throws an SQL error, but provides a
        nice error message. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   Bricolage no longer attempts to email alerts to an empty list of
        recipients. This will make your SMTP server happier. [David]

    *   The version numbering issues of Bricolage modules have all been
        worked out after the confusion in 1.8.1. This incidentally allows
        the HTML::Template and Template Toolkit burners to be available
        again. Reported by Mike W. [David]

    *   Misspelling the name of a key name tag or including a non-repeatable
        field more than once in Super Bulk Edit no longer causes all of the
        changes in that screen to be lost. [David]

    *   When a user overrides the global "Date/Time Format" and "Time Zone"
        preferences, the affects of the overrides are now properly reflected
        in the UI. [David]

    *   The "Default Asset Sort" preference now actually works. Reported by
        Simon Wilcox. [David]

    *   Publishing a story or media document along with its related story or
        media documents from a publish desk again correctly publishes the
        original asset as well as the relateds. Reported by Paul Orrock.
        [David]

    *   Users can now set their own values for overrideable preferences.
        [David]

    *   The "list()" and "list_ids()" methods of the Story, Media, and
        Template (Formatting.pm) classes no longer have the side effect of
        changing values in the hash references passed to them. This had
        caused problems for date/time parameters. Reported by Paul Orrock.
        [David]

    *   Auto-generated slugs (enabled via the "AUTOGENERATE_SLUG"
        bricolage.conf directive) no longer convert uppercase characters to
        underscores. Thanks to Paul Orrock for the spot! [David]

    *   Changes made to story content in the story profile are no longer
        preserved when clicking the "Cancel" button. Reported by Paul
        Orrock. [David]

    *   The story and media profiles now clear out the session cache for the
        story or media element when leaving the story or media profile. This
        is to prevent perceived caching of changes that were canceled in a
        profile, noticed only when one canceled an edit of a story or media
        document and immediately edited the same document. [David]

    *   Clicking the "Add More" button to add more keywords to a new
        category no longer causes an error. [David]

    *   Adding a new category to a group and asking it to cascade that group
        membership into subcategories no longer causes an error. Thanks to
        Adam Rinehart for the spot! [David]

    *   Adding an existing publish desk to a workflow no longer unsets its
        publish attribute. [David]

    *   Deleted output channels no longer show up in the select list for
        story type and media type elements. [David]

    *   Deleting a workflow from the workflow manager now properly updates
        the workflow cache so that the deleted workflow is removed from the
        left navigation without a reboot. [David]

    *   Creating a story, checking it in, checking it out, and then
        canceling the checkout no longer incorrectly removes the story from
        workflow. [David]

    *   The source of a story can now be changed. [David]

    *   Status messages sent to the browser during previews are now hidden
        if an error is triggered. [Marshall]

    *   Publishing a document with deactivated related documents no longer
        causes those deactivated documents to be published, too. Reported by
        Paul Orrock. [David]

    *   The Bricolage 404, 403, and 500 error pages now send the appropriate
        HTTP header to the browser. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot!
        [David]

    *   The Output Channel URI Prefix and URI Suffix fields are once again
        allowed to include a slash (/). Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   An attempt to create a new template with the proper extension as
        part of the name (e.g., foo.mc for a Mason template) now keeps the
        extension instead of changing the dot to an underscore and adding
        the extension (e.g., it stays foo.mc instead of becoming foo_mc.mc).
        This is especially useful when creating utility templates and for
        users of "bric_dev_sync". Thanks to Paul Orrock for the spot!
        [David]

    *   When Bricolage notices that a document or template is not in
        workflow or on a desk when it should be, it is now more intelligent
        in trying to select the correct workflow and/or desk to put it on,
        based on current workflow context and user permissions. Reported by
        Hal Creech. [David]

    *   Content submitted to Bricolage in the UTF-8 character set is now
        always has the "utf8" flag set on the Perl strings that store it.
        This allows fields that have a maximum length to be truncated to
        that length in characters instead of bytes. Thanks to Kang-min Liu
        for the spot! [David]

    *   "Bric::Biz::OutputChannel->list_ids" no longer returns duplicate
        IDs. This incidentally allows output channels that happen to be in
        groups to be edited, eliminating the 'name "Web" is already used by
        another Output Channel' error. Thanks to John Greene for the spot!
        [David]

    *   The media type of media documents now defaults to "none" instead of
        inserting a "NULL" into the database. The column has also be marked
        "NOT NULL" in order to ensure that this remains the pattern. [David]

    *   Changed the "name" and "error_message" columns in the "job" table in
        the database from "VARCHAR" to <TEXT>. This is so that we don't have
        to truncate them before inserting them. [David]

    *   Elements with autopopulated fields (e.g., for image documents) can
        now be created via the SOAP interface. Reported by Todd Tyree.
        [David]

    *   Fixed a number of the parameters to the "list()" method of the
        Story, Media, and Template classes to properly handle an argument
        using the "ANY" operator. These include the "keyword" and
        "category_uri" parameters. Passing an "ANY" argument to these
        parameters before this release could cause a well-populated database
        to lock up with an impossible query for hours at a time. [David]

    *   Restored foreign keys and constraints missing on the "job" table and
        related tables since version 1.8.0. [David]

    *   The error message for failed distribution jobs is now properly
        displayed in the UI. [Mark]

    *   Fixed bug with the execution of jobs in bric_queued. [Mark]

    *   Attempting to create a new desk with the same name as a deactivated
        desk no longer returns an SQL error, but a more informative error.

    *   Template sandboxes now work for the Template Toolkit burner. [David]

    *   The output channel and element profiles no longer display
        deactivated output channels in their output channel select lists
        (for output channel includes in the output channel profile and for
        primary output channels in the element profile). [David]

    *   The side navigation layer now works correctly with Internet Explorer
        5.5 for Windows. [Marshall]

VERSION 1.8.1 (2004-07-08)
  Improvements
    *   More complete Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
        localizations. Also, the Mandarin localization now simply inherits
        from the Traditional Chinese localization. [Kang-min Liu]

    *   "make clone" now copies the lib directory and all of the bin scripts
        from the target to the clone, rather than from the sources. This
        allows any changes that have been made to scripts and classes to be
        properly cloned. [David]

    *   When installing Bricolage, it will now allow you to proceed if the
        database already exists by asking if you want to create the
        Bricolage tables in the existing database. Suggested by Mark
        Fournier and Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   Added some missing translations for English. [David]

    *   The installer is now a bit smarter in how it handles loading the
        "log_config" (or "config_log", as the case may be) module. [Marshall
        Roch]

    *   Added ID attributes to story, media, and element profiles and
        "fieldcontent" class to content field values in the "View" screens
        so that they can be used as CSS selectors. [David]

    *   Added language-specific style sheets. This is especially useful for
        right-to-left languages or for languages that require special fonts.
        [David]

    *   The "New Alias" search interface now displays thumbnails when
        searching for media documents to alias and the "USE_THUMBNAILS"
        bricolage.conf directive is enabled. Reported by Serge Sozonoff.
        [David]

    *   The "has_member()" method of Bric::Util::Grp is now faster when
        searching for a specific group member. [David]

    *   Aliases can now be made to documents within the same site. [Serge
        Sozonoff]

    *   When viewing the contents of a document, the contents now have their
        HTML escaped. This prevents any broken HTML in the content from
        breaking the Bricolage UI. Suggested by Neal Sofge. [David]

    *   The SOAP interface for importing and exporting elements now properly
        has "key_name" XML elements instead of "name" XML elements. The
        changes are backwards compatible with XML exported from Bricolage
        1.8.0 servers, however. Reported by Tony Cowderoy. [David]

    *   Added "move()" method to the virtual FTP interface. This means that
        to deploy a template, rather than having to rename it locally to
        append ".deploy", one can simply move in FTP to its new name with
        ".deploy" on appended to the new name. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Document expirations are now somewhat more intelligent. Rather than
        just scheduling an expiration job only if there is an expiration
        date the first time a document is published, Bricolage will now
        always schedule an expiration job for a document provided that one
        does not already exist (scheduled or completed) for the same time
        and for one of the file resources for the document. This should
        allow people to more easily and arbitrarily expire content whenever
        necessary. Thanks to John Greene for the discussion that finally
        motivated this change. [David]

    *   Improved zh-cn translation. [Gang Luo]

    *   Burner notes now persist for all sub burns (triggered by
        "publish_another()" and "preview_another()" in a single burn. [Serge
        Sozonoff]

    *   Keyword groups now properly display their members. [David]

    *   Added ability to create and manage groups of objects for several
        different types of objects. Also added the ability manage group
        membership within the administrative profiles for those objects.
        This change makes it possible to give users permission to administer
        subsets of objects. The new groupable objects are:

        Preferences
        Groups
        Alert Types
        Element Types
        Keywords
        Contributors

        [David]

    *   Alert rules are now evaluated within a safe compartment (using
        Safe.pm) to prevent security exploits. [David]

    *   The Bulk Publish admin tool is no longer limited to use only by
        members of the Global Admins group. Now anyone can use it. All one
        needs is READ permission to the categories of stories, and PUBLISH
        permission to the stories and media documents to be published.
        [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Bulk Publish now ensures that users have at least READ access to
        categories they wish to publish from. [Scott]

    *   Eliminated 'Bareword "ENABLE_HTMLAREA" not allowed while "strict
        subs" in use' warning that prevented startup for some installations.
        [Scott]

    *   The Mason burner now appends a "/" to the end of the category path
        it specifies for burning a story. This removes the ambiguity between
        a directory request and a file request, which in rare circumstances
        could cause unexpected problems. [David]

    *   Changes made to user or contributor contacts without changing any
        other part of the user or contributor object are now properly saved.
        [David]

    *   When cloning a story, the list of output channels to select from is
        now limited to the site the current workflow is in. Thanks to Serge
        Sozonoff for the spot! [David]

    *   Attempting to publish a story or media document with brackets in the
        title no longer causes an error. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Fixed a bric_soap "list_ids" bug [712] with the "no_workflow"
        option. [Clive Jones]

    *   The upgrade to 1.8.0 now correctly updates story URIs that use the
        URI Suffix of an output channel instead of using the URI Prefix
        twice. [John Greene]

    *   The Advanced Search interface for stories and media now displays
        only the top-level elements associated with the site the workflow is
        in when searching for stories and media "By Type". [David]

    *   Improved error logging for more recent versions of Apache, which
        unfortunately escape newlines. [David]

    *   When Bricolage discovers a document or template on a desk but not in
        a workflow, it now places it in a workflows associated with the same
        site as the document or template is associated with. Thanks to Serge
        Sozonoff for the spot! [David]

    *   Aliases of Image, Audio, or Video media documents no longer remain
        stuck on desks. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Related media and story subelements of media documents now work
        properly. Thanks to Kang-min Liu for the spot! [David]

    *   The distribution and SOAP handlers now load a localization object so
        that any code that uses localization will work properly. Reported by
        Clive Jones. [David]

    *   The "set_page_extensions()" method of Bric::Util::Burner now throws
        an exception if duplicate page extensions are passed, rather than
        deferring the exception to the creation of a distribution job, which
        was confusing. [Clive Jones]

    *   Calls to "preview_another()" in Bric::Util::Burner will now use any
        templates in the current user's sandbox and properly burn them to
        the preview root rather than to the staging root used for
        publishing. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Contributor fields for roles other than the default role now
        properly store and retain their values. [David]

    *   The virtual FTP server now properly checks out templates when a
        template is uploaded and is already in workflow.

    *   Uploading a non-existent template via the virtual FTP server now
        correctly creates a new template. The type of template depends on
        the name of the template being uploaded, and for element templates,
        on whether there is an element with the appropriate key name. The
        user must have CREATE permission to All Templates or to the start
        desk in the first template workflow in the relevant site.

    *   Reverting a document or template to the current version number now
        properly reverts all changes to the time the user checked out the
        document or template. Reversion is also a bit more efficient in how
        it looks up the previous version in the database. [David]

    *   The SOAP server now rolls back any changes whenever an error is
        thrown. This prevents problems when a few objects are created or
        updated before an exception is thrown. Now any error will cause the
        entire SOAP request to fail. Thanks to Neal Sofge for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Changing the "Size" display attribute of a field in the Field
        profile (a subprofile of the Element admin profile) now properly
        causes the field to actually display in the new size. Reported by
        Tony Cowderoy. [David]

    *   The table of contacts in the alert type profile is now more like
        other tables, in terms of border colors, etc. [David]

    *   The Bulk Publish admin tool now only limits the category search to
        the current site context if the "Filter by Site Context" preference
        is checked. [David]

VERSION 1.8.0 "Portland" (2004-05-03)
  Improvements
    *   The inst/upgrade/1.7.0/data_tile_key_name.pl upgrade script now
        skips upgrading "key_name" if it would be no different than "name".
        This can save a lot of time during upgrade if your database is
        large. [Scott]

    *   For checked-out media, stories, and documents listed in the "Active"
        and "Find" interfaces, added the name of the user who has each
        checked out to the empty column that would otherwise contain a
        "Checkout" checkbox. [David]

    *   Keyword names are now always editable in the keyword manager.
        [David]

    *   Added UI for managing organizations, which provide the base data for
        souces. [David]

    *   HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fixes that allow Bricolage to work
        properly with most browsers, including Safari 1.2.1, IE 5.2/Mac,
        Konqueror, Opera 7, and many others. [Marshall Roch]

    *   Added stubs for zh-hk localization. [David]

    *   Added missing localizations to the Language preference. Many of
        these are not yet translated, but there they are. [David]

    *   Selecting a checkbox to delete an output channel in a story or media
        profile and then clicking a button other than the output channel
        "Delete" button or the "Save" or "Save and Stay" buttons no longer
        causes an error. Reported by Delfim Machado. [David]

    *   If the "Select All" button is clicked to select all the checkboxes
        on a desk, and then is clicked again, it will uncheck all of the
        check boxes. [David]

    *   Login redirection now works properly with Safari. [David]

    *   The installation script now provides more information (and
        questions) when it attempts to create a database user that already
        exists. Suggested by Marshall Roch. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Added a missing space to the breadcrumb in the header. [Marshall
        Roch]

    *   The new "SFTP_MOVER_CIPHER" bricolage.conf directive now actually
        works. [David]

    *   The group profile works again for element groups [David]

    *   "Check In To" link misalignment fixed for Konqueror, as well as some
        other miscellaneous CSS fixes. [Marshall Roch]

    *   The "CREATE" permission is now displayed when granting permission to
        user groups to access the members an "All" group. [David]

    *   The "none" media type is no longer editable via the UI. [David]

    *   Invalid story cover and expire dates now properly trigger an error
        message. [David]

    *   Deactivated keywords are no longer returned by the "get_keywords()"
        methods of the Business asset class (from which Story and Media
        inherit) or the Category class. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

    *   Events are now properly logged for keywords managed in the keyword
        profile. [David]

    *   Media URIs are now properly updated when the primary output channel
        is changed. Reported by Ben Bangert. [David]

    *   Bulk publish no longer marks checked-out stories as published when
        it hasn't published them. It also is no longer redundant when it
        reports that checked-out assets won't be published. Thanks to Serge
        Sozonoff for the spot! [David]

    *   Safari users will no longer be stuck on the login page. [David]

    *   The CSS directory now has its files always served as "text/css".
        This should eliminate problems when Apache sometimes serves the CSS
        files as "text/html". [David]

    *   The "desk_id" parameter to the "list()" methods of the story, media,
        and template classes now works. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Stories published via the "Checkin and Publish" select list in the
        story profile now correctly publish related stories and media.
        Reported by Joo Pedro. [David]

    *   Stories and media are no longer published twice when published from
        a publish desk or via Bulk Publish. [David]

VERSION 1.7.5 "Ashland" (2004-04-11)
  New Features
    *   Added bric_template_dump to contrib. This script uses the Bricolage
        SOAP server to export all of the templates in a single output
        channel. [David]

    *   Added "SFTP_MOVER_CIPHER" bricolage.conf directive to tune the SFTP
        mover (if enabled) to the best cipher for good performance on the
        wire. [David]

  Improvements
    *   Added site and output channel support to bric_template_diff and
        bric_template_patch in contrib. [David]

    *   When cloning a story, you can now select a new primary output
        channel, in addition to category, slug, cover date, etc. Suggested
        by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Spell checking now works in HTMLArea. [Eric Sellers]

    *   When creating a new story without a slug, Bricolage will now
        autogenerate a slug based on the title. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added single underscore parameters to the "list()" methods of the
        Story, Media, and Template classes to complement those that have the
        awful double underscores. [David]

    *   Made SOAP modules more tolerant of lack of sites in 1.6. [Scott]

    *   The collection API now checks newly added members when deleting
        members. This ensures that newly added objects won't be saved to the
        database if they are deleted, first. [David]

    *   Turned off browser autocompletion in the Server and User profiles.
        This prevents some browsers (e.g., Camino) from filling in your
        username and password where it doesn't belong. [David]

    *   When the "Filter by Site Context" preference is enabled, it no
        longer filters documents when searching for documents to alias.
        Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

    *   The "Cancel Checkout" button in the Story, Media, and Template
        profiles now tries to do the right thing instead of just leaving the
        asset on a desk in workfow every time. If the asset was just created
        by the user, it will be deleted. If it was just recalled from the
        library by the user, it will be removed from workflow and shelved in
        the library. Otherwise, clicking the "Cancel Checkout" button will
        leave the asset in workflow. Requested by Sara Wood, Rachel Murray,
        and others. [David]

        "make clone" now provides the current date and time for the default
        name for the cloned package. Suggested by Marshall Roch. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Bricolage no longer tries to display thumbnails for related stories,
        since stories don't have thumbnails and would therefore create an
        error. [Eric Sellers]

    *   Text::Levenshtein is again correctly loaded as an optional module,
        not a required module. Reported by Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   Bric::Util::Burner's "preview_another()" method now actually works.
        Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed clone interface for IE users. Spotted by Serge Sozonoff.
        [Scott]

    *   Some of the supported values for the "Order" parameter to the Story,
        Media, and Template classes, such as "category_uri", did not work
        before. Now they do. [David]

    *   Changing categories on a template no longer creates Frankensteinian
        template paths. [David]

    *   Added constant "HAS_MULTISITE" to the Bric base classe so that all
        classes properly declare themselves for UI search results. [Joo
        Pedro]

    *   Story and Media SOAP calls now correctly use the element's key name
        to identify the element. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Story, Media, and Template creation via SOAP now correctly look up
        the Category by URI and site ID. [Joo Pedro & David]

    *   The Template SOAP interface now suports the "site" parameter to
        "list_ids()". [David]

    *   The Story, Template, and Media SOAP "list_ids()" intefaces now
        properly look up categories, output channels, and workflows with the
        "site" paremeter, if there is one. [David]

    *   The "LOAD_LANGUGES" and "LOAD_CHAR_SETS" directives are now space
        delimited, to better match other bricolage.conf options. [David]

    *   Aliased media documents now correctly point to the file name for the
        aliased media document. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

    *   Thanks to the improvements to the collection class, cloning stories
        and putting them into new output channels to ensure that they have
        unique URIs now works properly. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   The publish status and version is once again properly set for media
        when they are published. Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   The group manager now properly displays the names of the sites that
        member objects are associated with if the class of the objects being
        managed knows that its objects are associated with sites. Reported
        by Ho Yin Au. [David]

    *   The list of output channels to add to a media or story document in
        the media and story profiles now includes only those output channels
        associated with the site that the story or media document is in.
        [David]

    *   Thanks to the fix to 1.6.13 that prevents deleted groups from
        affecting permissions, there is no longer any need to provide a
        checkbox to get access to deleted groups in the permissions
        interface. So it has been removed. [David]

VERSION 1.7.4 "Sacramento" (2004-03-18)
  New Features
    *   Added "Bulk Publish" feature in ADMIN->PUBLISHING that lets members
        of the Global Admins group publish story and media documents by
        category. [Scott]

    *   Added "notes()" method to Bric::Util::Burner, along with the
        accompanying "clear_notes()". The "notes()" method provides a place
        to store burn data data, giving template developers a way to share
        data among multiple burns over the course of publishing a single
        story in a single category to a single output channel. Any data
        stored here persists for the duration of a call to "burn_one()".
        [David]

    *   Added new contributed scripts for Bricolage button generation. These
        scripts use the Gimp to generate localized buttons for the Bricolage
        UI based on the contents of an input file. See
        contrib/button_gen/README for details. [Florian Rossol]

    *   Added support for icons for all media documents when the
        "USE_THUMBNAILS" bricolage.conf directive is enabled. These rely on
        the presence of PNG icon files for each MIME type in
        comp/media/mime. Only one such icons is distributed with Bricolage,
        comp/media/mime/none.png (borrowed from the KDE project under
        <http://artist.kde.org/new/license.html#others>), which is the
        default icon when the MIME type of a media file is unknown or when
        no icon file exists for the MIME type of the media file.
        Administrators are free to add their own icons, and the
        "copy_gnome_icons" script in contrib makes it easy to use GNOME
        icons. [David]

    *   Added "bric_template_diff" and "bric_template_patch" scripts in
        contrib/bric_template_diff. These scripts can be used to sync
        templates between two Bricolage servers. [Sam]

    *   added "bric_media_load" to "contrib/". This script copies media into
        Bricolage while accounting for the new to update existing media.
        [Sam]

    *   Added HTMLArea support. This adds a new type of field to be added to
        elements and contributor types, "WYSIWYG". Such fields are then
        displayed in the UI using HTMLArea, a WYSIWYG HTML editor. This can
        be useful in particular for simple fields that often need emphasis
        added or links. It is not currently available in Bulk Edit or Super
        Bulk edit. See Bric::Admin for installation and configuration
        details. [Eric Sellers]

  Improvements
    *   The list of categories for which permissions can be granted to user
        groups to access the documents and templates in the category now
        displays the categories for each site separately, so that categories
        with same URIs (such as for the root category in each site) can be
        easily told apart. Reported by Ho Yin Au. [David]

    *   The list of workflows for which permissions can be granted in the
        permissions page now includes the parenthesized name of the site
        each workflow is associated with. [David]

    *   Modified the indexes on the "workflow__id" and "desk__id" columns of
        the story, media, and formatting (template) tables to be more
        efficient, being indexed only when their IDs are greater than 0
        (that is, when a story, media document, or template is actually on a
        desk and in a workflow). [David]

    *   Added a method "is_fixed" to story and media objects, to determine
        whether a business asset has a fixed URL (for example, a Cover
        page). Refer to Bric::Biz::Asset::Business. [Scott]

    *   Added the "ENABLE_OC_ASSET_ASSOCIATION" bricolage.conf directive to
        remove the ability to associate output channels from the story and
        media profiles. [Scott]

    *   The element administration profile now automatically adds the
        currently selected site context to new elements, thus generally
        saving a step when creating new elements. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added an interface to 'Clone' for stories so that you can change the
        category, slug, and cover date, because otherwise an identical story
        is created, which would cause errors for some stories. Clones are no
        longer allowed to have URIs that are identical to the stories they
        were cloned from. [Scott & David]

    *   Added the ability to Delete from desks (same as My Workspace). Note
        however, that you can't delete from a publish desk. [Scott]

    *   Completely documented the document element classes:
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile,
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Data, and
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container. This should make
        it a bit easier on templators learning their way around the
        Bricolage API. [David]

    *   Refactored quite a bit of the code in the element classes. Renamed
        the methods with "tile" in their names to use "element" instead (but
        kept the old ones around as aliases, since they're used throughout
        the UI). Added a few methods to make the interface more complete.
        [David]

    *   Modified the "get_containers()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container to take an
        optional list of key name arguments, and to return only the
        container subelements with those key names. This is most useful in
        templates, where it's fairly common to get a list of container
        subelements of only one or two particular types out all at once. It
        neatly replaces code such as this:

          for ( my $x = 1; my $quote = $element->get_container('quote', $x); $x++ ) {
              $burner->display_element($quote);
          }

        With this:

          for my $quote ($element->get_containers('quote')) {
              $burner->display_element($quote);
          }

        And is more efficient, too. [David]

    *   Modified the "get_elements()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container to take an
        optional list of key name arguments, and to return only the
        subelements with those key names. [David]

    *   Added the "get_data_elements()" method to
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container. This method
        functions exactly like "get_containers()" except that it returns
        data element objects that are subelements of the container element.
        It also takes an optional list of key name arguments, and, if
        passed, will return only the subelements with those key names.
        [David]

    *   The "ANY()" subroutine will now throw an exception if no arguments
        are passed to it. Suggested by Dave Rolsky. [David]

    *   Added the "unexpired" parameter to the "list()" method of the story
        and media classes. It selects for stories without an expire date, or
        with an expire date set in the future. [David]

    *   The "User Override" admin tool is now available to all users. But a
        user can only override another user if she has EDIT permission to
        that other user. This makes it easier for user administrators to
        masquerade as other users without having to change passwords.
        [David]

    *   Eliminated another SQL performance bottleneck with simple searches
        of media assets. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Images with no dimension greater than the "THUMBNAIL_SIZE"
        bricolage.conf directive are no longer expanded to have one side at
        least "THUMBNAIL_SIZE" pixels, but are left alone. [David]

    *   Thumbnails are now displayed when searching media to relate to an
        element. [David]

    *   Thumbnails are now displayed in related media subelements. [David]

    *   Added "preview_another()" method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method
        is designed to be the complement of "publish_another()", to be used
        in templates during previews to burn and distribute related
        documents so that they'll be readily available on the preview server
        within the context of previewing another document. [Serge Sozonoff]

    *   Added the "subelement_key_name" parameter to the "list()" method of
        the story and media classes. This parameter allows searches on the
        key name for a container element that's a subelement of a story or
        media document. [David]

    *   Added support for all of the parameters to the "list_ids()" method
        of the Story, Media, and Template classes to the "list_ids()" method
        of the corresponding SOAP classes. This allows for much more robust
        searches via the SOAP interface. [David & Scott]

    *   Eliminated "login_avail()" PostgreSQL function, replacing it with a
        partial constraint. This not only makes things simpler code-wise,
        but it also eliminates backup and restore problems where the "usr"
        table is missing. The downside is that it requires PostgreSQL 7.2
        instead of our traditional minimum requirement of 7.1. So any
        PostgreSQL 7.1 users will need to upgrade before upgrading to this
        version of Bricolage. Suggested by Josh Berkus. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   "make clone" will now properly clone a database on a different
        database server, provided the host name (and port, if necessary)
        have been provided. Thanks to Ho Yin Au for the spot! [David]

    *   Admin tool lists that include the number "9" in the corner of a
        table of items is now properly orange instead of green. Reported by
        Ho Yin Au. [David]

    *   Bricolage works with Perl 5.6.x again, although it's pretty strongly
        deprecated. Perl 5.8.0 or later is required for character set
        conversion and if any content uses characters outside of US ASCII.
        Thanks to John Greene for the spot! [David]

    *   Image files uploaded in formats not recognized by Image::Info no
        longer trigger an error. Reported by Alexander Ling. [David]

    *   Changing the cover date of a media document once again correctly
        updates the primary URI of the media document. Reported by Serge
        Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Fixed API that was causing no elements to be returned on "Add
        sub-elements" page, when "Filter by site context" was turned on.
        [Joo Pedro]

    *   When the SOAP server serializes and deserializes element templates,
        it now correctly identifies the element by its key name, rather than
        its name. Thanks to Joo Pedro for the spot! [David]

    *   The template profile's "cheat sheet" of the subelements of an
        element now correctly display subelement key names instead of
        munging element names, as was required before version 1.7.0. [Joo
        Pedro]

    *   "Bric::SOAP::Category->list_ids" now converts site names to site
        IDs. [Joo Pedro]

    *   "Bric::Util::Burner->preview" once again defaults to previewing in
        an asset's primary output channel instead of using the element's
        primary output channel. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added "first_publish_date" attribute to the SOAP input and output
        for stories and media. [David]

    *   The category SOAP class now correctly calls "lookup()" with the site
        ID to prevent multiple categories with the same names but in
        different sites from being looked up. [Joo Pedro]

    *   User overrideable preferences are now properly checked for
        permissions to allow users with READ permission to a user to see the
        permissions. [David]

    *   Users can now edit their own user-overrideable preferences. [David]

    *   Group management now works more correctly in user profiles where
        users have on READ access to the user object. [David]

    *   Removed queries added in 1.7.2 that were running at Bricolage
        startup time. They could cause DBI to cache a database handle and
        return it after Apache forks, leading to strange errors such as
        "message type 0x49 arrived from server while idle", and
        occaisionally a frozen server. [David]

VERSION 1.7.3 (2004-03-01)
  New Features
    *   The virtual FTP server now moves templates into workflow when
        they're uploaded and puts them into the user's sandbox. This
        behavior allows the user to test the template changes without
        imposing possible bugs upon other Bricolage users. This approach is
        much safer than the previous behavior, which simply checked in and
        deployed a template upon upload. Templates can still be deployed via
        the virtual FTP server by appending ".deploy" to their names. The
        original behavior of always deploying templates upon upload can be
        restored by enabling the "FTP_DEPLOY_ON_UPLOAD" bricolage.conf
        directive. [David]

    *   Added "ANY" function to be used with select parameters to story,
        media, and template (formatting) list. Pass a list of values to this
        function to have any of of them match for a given parameter. This is
        especially useful for matching on, say, a list of URIs or category
        IDs. This function is automatically available in templates. [David]

    *   Added a feature that counts characters used in a textarea subelement
        on the fly. It displays this figure and the number of characters
        left, immediately above the textarea. This feature is enabled when
        the Max size attribute for the textarea is given a non zero value
        when adding it to the element profile stage. The JavaScript will
        also not allow you to have more than max size characters in the
        textarea by truncating the data to that number of characters every
        time someone adds another character beyond the maximum. [Paul
        Orrock/Digital Craftsmen]

    *   Added a feature to display image thumbnails in the search results
        and active view for media objects that are image objects. This
        feature uses the Perl module Imager from CPAN and the relevant image
        library for each format you want to display. It can be turned on or
        off using the "USE_THUMBNAILS" bricolage.conf directive. See
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media::Image for more information. [Paul
        Orrock/ Digital Craftsmen]

  Improvements
    *   The bric_media_upload contributed script now provides a more
        meaningful error message when it can't find bric_soap. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   The bric_dist_mon "-U" option no longer requires that "/dist/" be at
        the end of the URL. If "/dist/" is missing, bric_dist_mon will
        append it. [David]

    *   More story, media, and template query optimization. [David]

    *   The story, media, and template queries now use aggregates to create
        arrays of group IDs, instead of returning a separate row for each
        individual group ID. Since all story, media, and template objects
        are now returned in single rows instead of potentially many rows,
        this greatly cuts down on the overhead of fetching data from the
        database. Suggested by Josh Berkus; implementation help from David
        Fetter. [David]

    *   Thanks to the aggregation of group IDs into a single row for each
        story, media and template object, the "Offset" and "Limit"
        parameters to the "list()" methods of the story, media, and template
        (formatting) classes are now handled by the database back end,
        instead of in Perl space. This makes using these parameters much
        more efficient.

    *   Added "-k" option to bric_ftpd to kill a currently running virtual
        FTP server. This is made possible by the addition of the new
        "FTP_PID_FILE" bricolage.conf directive. [David]

    *   Asset groups associated with categories are now activated or
        deactivated whenever their corresponding categories are now
        activated or deactivated. This prevents them from showing up in the
        permissions interface. [David]

    *   Added a check box to the permissions interface to enable the display
        of inactive groups. This is primarily so that permissions can be
        modified on inactive category groups, since they still affect access
        to any documents and templates in those categories, even after
        they're deactivated. [David]

    *   Updated documentation to reflect the reality that one should really
        only use Perl 5.8.0 and later if one needs to use any characters
        outside of ASCII. [Andrea Rota]

    *   Added "FTP_UNLINK_BEFORE_MOVE" bricolage.conf directive. This forces
        the FTP mover to unlink an older version of a file before renaming
        the new version to that name. This is necessary for some FTP servers
        that won't disallow renaming a file to replace an existing file.
        [Andrea Rota]

    *   Updated zh-cn and zh-tw localizations, translating all untranslated
        messages and JavaScript messages. [Kang-min Liu]

    *   Relabeled the "Pre" and "Post" attributes of output channels as "URI
        Prefix" and "URI Suffix", respectively. [Serge Sozonoff]

    *   Added "get_element()" method to Bric::Biz::Asset::Business and
        deprecated the "get_tile()" method. This will make things a bit more
        consistent for template developers, at least. [David]

    *   Added "primary_category_id" parameter to the story class' "list()"
        method. [David]

    *   Updated the German localization. [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Users can no longer sneakily add subelements for which they do not
        have at least READ permission to the corresponding element via the
        Super Bulk Edit. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

    *   The list of output channels available to be included in an output
        channel now has the name of the site with which each is affiliated
        listed as well. This is to prevent confusion between output channels
        with the same names in different sites. [David]

    *   Changed the vertical alignment of the labels for textarea fields in
        the story profile to be consistent with the labels on the element
        profile. i.e. top aligned. [Paul Orrock/Digital Craftsmen]

    *   Made the default installed "Photograph" and "Illustration" media
        document types true image objects, with autopopulated fields for
        height, width, etc. Suggested by Simon Wilcox. [David]

    *   Changed the default value of the "SMTP_SERVER" bricolage.conf
        directive to localhost. This has a much greater chance of working
        than defaulting to the value of the "VHOST_SERVER_NAME" directive.
        [David]

    *   Eliminated the term "Asset Type" from the UI, replacing it with
        "Element", "Story Type Element", or "Media Type Element", as context
        demands. [David]

    *   The Contributor manager no longer presents a "New" link if the
        Contributor Type on which the contributor is based has no custom
        fields. This will prevent folks from creating new contributor roles
        in the UI only to find that Bricolage hasn't created them because
        there are no custom fields. [David]

    *   In the formBuilder interface used by the Element and Contributor
        Type profiles, the default maximum length of text and textarea
        fields is now "0", or unlimited. [David]

    *   When publishing from a publish desk, you can now uncheck related
        assets in order to not publish them. You can also unset the
        "PUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS" bricolage.conf directive to never publish
        related assets. [Scott]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The virtual FTP server now correctly creates a utility template when
        a template with an unknown name is uploaded. [David]

    *   The virtual FTP server now pays proper attention to all permissions.
        [David]

    *   A number of upgrade script annoyances were cleared up. [David]

    *   The "simple" parameter to the Media class' "list()" method works
        again. As a result, so does "Find Stories" in the UI. [David]

    *   The de-de localization library has been fixed so that it now works.
        [David]

    *   Filter by site context now works. 'All sites' context now returns
        results from all sites instead of none. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Several Alert Type fixes. Rule regular expression matching (=~, !~)
        now handles patterns containing slashes (important for URIs, for
        example). Attributes no longer show up as stringified hash
        references in subject or message variable substitution.
        $trig_password was removed from the Profile as it caused an error
        and was useless anyway. And finally, duplicate and spurious
        attributes were removed from the rules and message variable lists.
        [Scott & David]

    *   Fixed Template Element list, where container elements appeared
        twice. [Joo Pedro]

    *   The deletion of a site now properly resets the workflows to be
        displayed in the side navigation layer. [David]

    *   Changes to site settings are now correctly reflected in the UI for
        all users as soon as they are made. [David]

    *   New media documents no longer attempt to validate URI uniqueness
        until a file has been uploaded. [David]

    *   Autopopulated fields in media elements can once again have their
        values fetched in templates. This problem was due to bad key names
        being created for new image elements created after upgrading to
        1.7.0. [David]

    *   The workflow profile no longer displays deactivated sites in the
        site select list. Thanks to Serge Sozonoff for the spot. [David]

    *   The upgrade script that adds the "first_publish_date" attribute to
        the database now properly sets that date for existing assets, no
        matter how many "publish" events have been logged. There should be
        only one, but some systems apparently have more. [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Media, Story, and Template groups now properly display all of the
        permissions that can be granted to user groups to access them.
        [David]

    *   The "Next" button in the Element Type profile now correctly loads
        the next page of the profile instead of returning to the manager.
        [David]

    *   Fixed URI uniqueness upgrade scripts, which were having problems
        with PostgreSQL permissions. [David]

    *   "make clone" works again. [David]

    *   Fixed database building installer scripts to use the $PGHOST
        environment variable when it has been explicitly set to "localhost",
        both to override existing instances of that variable on a system,
        and to allow tunneling to work properly. [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Distribution jobs can be edited via the UI again. Thanks to Marshall
        Roch for the spot. [David]

    *   Publishes once again work when the "Date/Time Format" preference is
        set to something other than ISO-8601. Reported by Marshall Roch.
        [David]

    *   "bric_dist_mon" now *correctly* appends "/dist/" to the end of the
        server URL if it is not already appended. Reported by Marshall Roch.
        [David]

    *   If a desk is in a template workflow and a story or media workflow,
        and you attempt to publish a media or story document from that desk
        in the context of the template workflow, it will now properly
        publish the story or media document instead of throwing an error.
        Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

    *   Fixed previewing with multiple OCs. [Serge Sozonoff]

    *   Fixed a bug in "bric_soap story create/update" caused by refactoring
        in version 1.7.0. Found by David during a demo. [Scott]

    *   An attempt to preview a story for which no template exists now gives
        a friendly error message again. This was broken by the change in
        1.7.2 that made the Mason burner use document templates as true
        dhandlers. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   The workflow menus in the side navigation layer no longer disappear
        after a server restart. Reported by Ben Bangert. [David]

    *   The Mason burner's special "<%publish>", "<%preview>", and
        "<%chk_syntax>" tags now work as advertised. Reported by Ben
        Bangert. [David]

    *   Publication of stories and media that automatically schedule
        expiration jobs no longer causes an error. Reported by Marshall
        Bloch. [David]

VERSION 1.7.2 "Kat" (2004-02-12)
  New Features
    *   Bricolage now has a much more robust security policy. Users with
        permission to edit various objects and groups in the administrative
        interface can no longer increase their permissions. Nor can they
        manage the membership of groups of which they are not members or do
        not have EDIT access to the members. All this is to prevent users
        from giving themselves higher permissions. [David]

    *   Added "publish_another()" method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method
        publishes a document other than the one currently being published.
        This is useful when a template for one document type needs to
        trigger the publish of another document. [David]

    *   Added new permissions "RECALL" and "PUBLISH". These permissions
        apply only to asset groups, including desks, categories, and
        workflows. Now users must have RECALL permission to recall assets
        from the library and bring them into workflow, and PUBLISH
        permission to publish assets. This should make it much easier to
        create more flexible permissions to manage approval processes.
        [David]

    *   Bricolage now supports per-user preferences. Admins can mark a
        preference as overrideable, which allows users to set this
        preference to their preferred value. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   The character set and language preferences have been moved into the
        database, so that these can be overridden by individual users if
        needed. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   Added "--published-only" option to bric_soap and bric_republish so
        that the last-published version of a document can be republished,
        rather than the current version. [Scott]

    *   Added Bric::Util::Job::Pub. Publication can now be placed into a
        queue and deferred until a scheduled time, instead of burning on
        command and distributing later, Bricolage will now burn a story at
        the time of the scheduled distribution. [Mark]

    *   Added the "bric_queued" daemon to take advantage of the new
        publication scheduling of Bric::Util::Job::Pub. Together with the
        use of a carefully tuned instance of Bricolage, these new features
        allow the Bricolage administrator to control the amount of system
        resources given over to publishing. [Mark]

    *   German localization completed. [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Added "get_parent()" method to
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile. This simplifies getting
        access to a parent element in an element template. [David]

    *   Added User and Desk (asset) modules to the SOAP API, added asset
        commands to the Workflow module, and made corresponding changes to
        bric_soap. [Scott]

    *   Added "burn_again" attribute to the Mason burner. This method can be
        called from within a template to force the burner to burn the
        current page again, creating a new file. This can be useful for
        creating multi-file output without extra paginated subelements.
        [David]

    *   Added zh-cn localization, with translation based on zh-tw. [Kang-min
        Liu]

  Improvements
    *   A field that is both required and repeatable now allows instances of
        the field after the first instance to be deleted. Setting a field to
        required essentially means that one must always be present in the
        UI. [David]

    *   HTML::Template and Template Toolkit are now optional. If they're not
        installed on your system, they won't be loaded by Bricolage. [David]

    *   The default "Story Editors," "Media Producers," and "Template
        Developers" user groups now have READ permission to the members of
        the "All Sites" group so that they can properly select a site
        context and gain access to the workflows in their site context.
        [David]

    *   A number of improvements for the bric_media_upload contrib script:

        Creates intermediate categories if needed.
        Added a "--skip-existing" directive.
        Added a "--media-info" directive.

        See the script's usage info for details. [Simon Wilcox]

    *   Fixed upgrade scripts to be more intelligent in their handling of
        transactions. They no longer allow SQL errors without failing the
        upgrade. The upgrade scripts have also been updated to ensure
        successful upgrades to Bricolage installations as far back as 1.4.0.
        [David]

    *   "make upgrade" now suggests that the user run "make clone" on the
        existing installation, and asks the whether to continue or not. This
        is to encourage folks to have a good backup before upgrading, in
        case the upgrade fails. [David]

    *   Added "element_key_name" parameter to the "list()" method of the
        story, media, and formatting classes. This makes it easier to use
        the name of a story type element, media type element, or template
        element to search for assets, rather than the "element__id"
        parameter, which isn't as friendly. [David]

    *   Added "Filter by Site Context" preference. When active, search
        results only return assets relative to the site context instead of
        all the sites the user has access to [Joo Pedro]

    *   The Mason burner now uses document templates as true dhandlers,
        enabling full Mason-style inheritance from autohandlers to work
        properly. [David & Dave Rolsky]

    *   "All *" groups can now be accessed via the Group Manager. Their
        names and memberships cannot be edited, but their permissions can.
        Inspired by a bug report from Patrick Walsh. [David]

    *   Queries for stories, media, and templates have been greatly
        optimized. Thanks to a large database from *The Register* and query
        optimization from Josh Berkus (under sponsorship from WHO) and Simon
        Myers of GBDirect, searches for stories in the UI are now 10-40
        times faster than they were before (depending on the version of
        PostgreSQL you're running). [David]

    *   Added the "story.category" parameter to the "list()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story. Pass in a story ID, and a list of
        stories in the same categories as the story with that ID will be
        returned, minus the story with that ID. This parameter triggers a
        complex join, which can slow the query time significantly on
        underpowered servers or systems with a large number of stories.
        Still, it can be very useful in templates that want to create a list
        of stories in all of the categories the current story is in. But be
        sure to use the <Limit> parameter! Thanks to Josh Berkus for his
        help figuring out the query syntax. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The "Checkout" checkbox is no longer missing in the Find interface
        for documents and templates that are already in workflow. [David]

    *   Category groups can be edited again. Reported by Alexander Ling.
        [David]

    *   Elements can be edited again. Thanks to Alexander Ling for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Element fields can be edited again without encountering the "called
        the removed method 'get_name'" error. Reported by Alexander Ling.
        [David]

    *   Improved the upgrade script for converting field definitions to use
        key names, thanks to reports from Nate Perry-Thistle. [David]

    *   Made the index on field key names case-insensitively unique. [David]

    *   Restored category asset group permissions in user group profiles.
        [David]

    *   Templates can be deleted again. Thanks to Adeola Awoyemi for the
        spot! [David]

    *   Stories and media with non-unique URIs can now be deleted. Reported
        by Simon Wilcox. [David]

    *   Checkin and Publish once again works in the media profile. Thanks to
        Alexander Ling for the spot. [David]

    *   Adding users to any of the default site user permission groups no
        longer incorrectly allow those users to select that site for their
        context. Reported by Alexander Ling. [David]

    *   The inline "Bulk Edit" feature in story and media profiles works
        again. Thanks to Neal Sofge for the spot! [David]

    *   Fixed 1.7.0 upgrade scripts that create key names to better handle
        key name conflicts. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for having an
        installation that generated such conflicts. [David]

    *   Attempting to create a destination with the same name as an existing
        or deleted destination no longer causes an SQL error. Thanks to
        Simon Wilcox for the spot! [David]

    *   Templates are now correctly saved to the user's sandbox when "Save
        and Stay" is pressed. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Select lists now correctly save their states so that, for example,
        dropdown menus in New Story remember the element and category that
        was selected last time. [Scott]

    *   Group membership now correctly shows the site name for each object
        when there is more than one site in the installation. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Sites can now be disassociated with elements. Reported by Alexander
        Ling. [David]

    *   Redirects during previews work again. [David]

    *   The virtual FTP server works again for the first time since before
        the release of 1.7.0. Now when you log in to the FTP server, the
        root directory will contain a list of sites. When you change
        directories into one of the site directories, you'll see a list of
        the output channels in that site. [David]

    *   The virtual FTP server no longer displays output channels or
        categories (or sites) that the user does not have at least READ
        permission to access. [David]

VERSION 1.7.1 (2003-11-30)
  Improvements
    *   The members of the "All" groups are prevented from being changed in
        the callbacks now, as well as in the interface, where a JavaScript
        function had been preventing it. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Passwords can be changed again. [Mike Slattery]

    *   It is now virtually impossible to create media type or story type
        elements without site and output channel associations. This should
        eliminate errors when users try to create documents based on types
        without output channel associations. [David]

    *   The "Output Channel" item for templates on desks now displays
        properly. [David]

    *   Eliminated bogus "Use of element's 'name' field is deprecated"
        warnings. Key names are allowed to have digits and underscores, and
        we weren't consistent about that. [David]

    *   The "display_element()" method in the Mason burner once again passes
        component arguments on to components. And now, so does
        "sdisplay_element()". [David]

    *   Fixed favicon.ico code so that the browser and server don't go into
        an infinite loop with redirects of redirects. The favicon.ico still
        doesn't pop up in the location field in my browser, but it does
        display properly if I point my browser at it. [David]

    *   An attempt to create a document with the same URI as an existing
        document no longer litters the database with broken stories. Thanks
        to Arthur for the spot. [David]

    *   Redirection after some publishes and previews works again, instead
        of returning a text page to the browser. [David]

    *   Now displaying the name of the site each story and media document is
        in in Find Stories and Find Media. Suggested by Arthur. [David]

    *   A number of fixes for the bric_media_upload contrib script:

        Made it work with the 1.7.0 XML Schema.
        Fixed a bug in its use of File::Find.
        Fixed problem in calculating category names when given a directory
        to upload.
        Added "--bric_soap" and "--site" options.

        See the script's usage info for details. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   Changing a media item's category and then saving caused an error.
        [Dave Rolsky]

    *   Changing a media document's cover date no longer causes the URI to
        disappear. Thanks to Dave Rolsky for the spot. [David]

    *   Attempting to preview a story for which there are no associated
        destinations no longer causes the error 'Can't call method "ACCESS"
        without a package or object reference'. Thanks to Earle Martin for
        the spot! [David]

    *   Added "output_channel_id" parameter to the "list()" method of
        Bric::Biz::Site in order to prevent sites without output channel
        associations from being listed in the select list for story type and
        media type elements. [David]

    *   When a document fails to publish because there are no destinations
        configured, the UI no longer displays a message saying that it was
        published. [David]

    *   Fixed page logging so that redirects to the page before the current
        page can work correctly. It was most noticeably broken when trying
        to associate a contributor with a document. [David]

    *   The upgrade process no longer moves media document files to where
        Bricolage can't find them. If this happened to you, just "mv
        $BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp.old/data $BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp". [David]

    *   Performing an action in the contributor and category association
        interfaces in the story and media profiles no longer causes an empty
        search to be performed and return all contributors or categories.
        This could be a pain for organizations with 1000s of contributors or
        categories. Thanks to Scott for the report! [David]

    *   The Key Name field in the element profile is no longer editable.
        Only new elements can type in the key name field. Thanks to Arthur
        for the spot! [David]

    *   The Template toolkit burner now correctly uses element key names
        instead of names to find corresponding templates. [David]

    *   Management of user groups in a double list manager UI no longer
        causes an SQL error. Spotted by Alexander Ling. [David]

    *   Sites added to a site group will now be listed as members of the
        site group in the site group's profile. Thanks to Alexander Ling for
        the spot. [David]

    *   Improved permission checking in the virtual FTP server. [David]

    *   Uploading a new version of a media file did not change the path to
        the media file stored in the database, unless the file name of the
        media was also changed. [Dave Rolsky]

VERSION 1.7.0 (2003-10-22)
  New Features
    *   Added multisite support. Now all stories, media, output channels,
        templates, categories, and workflows may be associated with
        different sites, and even have the same names in different sites.
        This simplifies the management of multiple Web sites with Bricolage.
        Story type and media type elements may be shared between sites.
        Funded by Portugal Telecom Multimedia. [David, Arthur, Garth, & Joo
        Pedro]

    *   Added document aliasing. Stories and media in a site may now be
        aliased and published in another site, as long as the elements on
        which they are based are shared between sites. Control over the
        content of aliased documents remains in the original site, thus
        ensuring the editorial integrity of the document for that site.
        Funded by Portugal Telecom Multimedia. [David]

    *   Changed element attribute "name" to "key name" to emphasize its
        uniqueness within an element. Also changed the "Display Name" to
        "Label" [Garth]

    *   Added a "key_name" attribute to elements as the system-wide unique
        key for each element, rather than the name. The name is now used as
        a label. Note that the key name only allows certain characters, as
        it is used to name the template files that format the element. This
        makes the "has_name()" method a bit simpler -- and it can in fact be
        ignored in favor of "$element->get_key_name eq $key_name". Thus
        there may be some warnings if older name values are passed to
        "has_name()". [Garth]

    *   Refactored Bric::Biz::Keyword. It is now more compliant with the
        standard API as defined in other classes. Also added support for
        keyword groups so that we can create a keyword manager. [David]

    *   Added "$burner->sdisplay_element" method to Bric::Util::Burner. This
        is a "sprintf"-style version of "$burner->display_element". [Scott]

    *   Added "get_data_element()" method to
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Container. This allows
        template writers to more easily find a single data element object,
        rather than just the value of a single data element (as "get_data()"
        does). Inspired by a comment from Bill Cappel. [David]

    *   Added the "YEAR_SPAN_BEFORE" and "YEAR_SPAN_AFTER" bricolage.conf
        directives. These directives control how many years before and after
        the current year to display in the list of years in the date and
        time select widget. The default values are 10 for each, meaning that
        if the current year is 2003, then the date span will be from 1993 to
        2013.

    *   Added the "ENABLE_SFTP_V2" bricolage.conf directive to make SSH
        protocol 2 be tried first. [Scott]

    *   Added "Email" action, which can be used to email the files generated
        by a publish to one or more email addresses. Funded by ETonline.
        [David]

    *   Callbacks were moved from Mason components to modules based on
        Params::Callback and managed by MasonX::Interp::WithCallbacks. This
        makes the UI layer more responsive and enhances maintainability.
        [Scott]

    *   Optimized performance of URI uniqueness checks by adding database
        tables to do the job, rather than constructing the URIs for all
        other documents in the same categories as the document being
        checked. This was the last major bottleneck affecting SOAP
        performance, as well as document editing in general. Funded by
        Kineticode. [David]

    *   Added "instance()" class method to Bric::Util::Language, so that
        non-OO functions can get access to the current language handle.
        [David]

    *   Added "output_channel_id" parameter to the "list()" methods of Story
        and Media to enable querying for documents in output channels other
        than the primary output channel. Based on a patch from Clive Jones.
        [David]

    *   Lots of notification message localization fixes. [Radu Greab]

    *   Status message localization fixes [David]

    *   Added "search by element type" to Advanced Search of the Find
        Stories and Find Media interfaces. [Scott]

    *   Added a preference to select Simple or Advanced search in Find
        Stories/Media the default search when you go to those screens.
        [Scott]

    *   Added "Select all" button to select all the checkboxes on publish
        desks or My Workspace. [Scott]

    *   Added Keyword Management interface to centrally manage keywords.
        [Scott]

    *   Added "--workflow" and "--desk" options to create and update
        commands of "bric_soap", so that assets can be moved to a desk at
        the same time as creation or updation. [Scott]

    *   Added Group Membership sections to most of the profiles. [Joo
        Pedro]

    *   Some optimizations to Bric::SOAP::(Media|Story|Template) classes.
        [Scott]

    *   Added HTML::Mason Custom tags support, allowing template developers
        to write code blocks that are context sensitive. See
        Bric::AdvTemplates for documentation on this. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added new page extension support to the burner, which allows
        template developers to set string extensions to use for successive
        file names, rather than the traditional use of numeric file name
        extensions for successive file names. [Clive Jones]

    *   Added "Text to search" option in the Advanced search of Media and
        Stories to search for documents based on the contents of their
        field. [Joo Pedro]

    *   All preview links are now generated by a single widget. This widget
        adds the story or media URI to the "title" attribute of the link tag
        (which is modern browsers will automatically work as a roll-over
        tooltip), makes the story or media URI copyable (by relying on
        JavaScript to actually open a new window for the preview), and
        manages selecting an output channel in which to preview a story.
        [David]

    *   Made User Group Permissions UI wieldy with larger numbers of users
        by adding a select list to choose which type of Permission to look
        at. [Scott]

    *   Added ability to preview stories in a selection of output channels
        in the View (read-only) story profile. [David]

    *   Combined the asset "Find" managers into a single component, thus
        eliminating a lot of redundant code. [David]

    *   Added "contrib_id" parameter to the "list()" methods of
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story and
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media to return a list of story or media
        documents associated with a given contributor. [David]

    *   Switched Bric::Util::CharTrans from using Text::Iconv to Encode,
        thus removing the dependency on a C library (libiconv). Note that
        this has changed the API of Bric::Util::CharTrans. Its "to_utf8()"
        and "from_utf8()" methods now always convert the argument passed in
        in place. They did this before for references, but now they do it
        for plain strings, as well. Also note that use of character
        translation also now requires Perl 5.8.0 or later. [Scott & David]

    *   Factored out some of the SOAP asset classes into Bric::SOAP::Asset.
        [Scott]

    *   Added MediaType, Site, and Keyword SOAP modules. [Scott]

    *   Changes to a story's slug, cover date, or primary category will now
        be displayed before the story is saved. Suggested by a coworker of
        Andy Baio. [David]

    *   The Find Stories, Find Media, and Find Templates interfaces now
        disallow searching for and returning all of the stories and media in
        the database. This will help prevent thousands or tens of thousands
        of assets from being displayed in the UI and sucking up all the
        resources on the server. [David]

    *   Added "element" attribute to Bric::Util::Burner so that
        "$burner->get_element" should always return the element currently
        being burned. [David]

    *   Added burner-specific exceptions with context information, including
        current output channel, current category, and current element.
        [David]

    *   Added a "throw_error()" method to Bric::Util::Burner so that
        template developers can easily throw an exception that their users
        will see in the UI. [David]

    *   Added "best_uri()" method to Bric::Util::Burner to return the most
        appropriate URI (in Bricolage's opinion) for a document. Mainly
        useful when multiple sites and document aliases are used. [David]

    *   Greatly simplified burner subclassing by adding a new registration
        method to Bric::Util::Burner. This cuts down on the number of files
        that need to be edited to add a new burner. [David]

    *   Moved category selection from Media and Story Profiles into their
        own separate components so that organizations with hundreds or
        thousands categories don't have to load them into a dropdown list
        every time an asset is edited. The category "browser" uses an
        interface similar to 'Associate Contributors', which has the
        advantage of being searchable rather than looking through a "long
        list of all categories". This feature can be enabled via the new
        "ENABLE_CATEGORY_BROWSER" bricolage.conf directive. [Scott]

    *   Added list paging to Desks and My Workspace. [Scott]

    *   XHTML/CSS-ized desk items. This approach is the future of the
        Bricolage interface: purely structural HTML, with CSS to create the
        presentation. Eventually, we'll be able to have UI preferences to
        change font sizes or the entire look and feel just by switching
        style sheets. But for now, this change should help with the display
        of desks with many items on them, and it should also speed the
        display of such desks. Turn off the "USE_XHTML" bricolage.conf
        directive to get the old desk views back (useful for older
        browsers). [David]

    *   Added a preference to set the default Story/Media sorting. [Scott]

    *   Added the ability to test templates without having to deploy them by
        using "template sandboxes" for each template developer. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added Template Toolkit burner support. [Arthur/Fotango]

    *   Added a bricolage.conf directive, "ALLOW_SLUGLESS_NONFIXED", to
        prevent slugless non-fixed (non-Cover) stories. [Scott]

    *   Added support for installing and upgrading Bricolage with PostgreSQL
        on a separate host. [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Added context-sensitive help for pages that were missing it. [Scott]

    *   "make upgrade" no longer simply overwrites the contents of the UI
        component root ($BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp), but renames it
        $BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp.old and writes out a new one. This is both so
        that deleted UI component files don't remain behind after an
        upgrade, and so that users can access any files that they've changed
        in the old component root. Most users can just delete it after
        upgrading. [David]

VERSION 1.6.14 (2004-05-02)
  Bug Fixes
    *   "make upgrade" once again correctly creates postgres.db if the
        existing installation doesn't know the installed version of
        PostgreSQL. [David]

    *   Adding notes to image, video, or audio media documents no longer
        causes an error. Reported by Christian Hauser. [David]

    *   Errors in the "PERL_LOADER" bricolage.conf directive no longer
        silently fail. [David]

    *   A successful login no longer redirects back to the login page, thus
        no longer forcing a second redirect in such cases. Reported by
        Marshall Roch. [David]

    *   The $burner object is now available in Mason template "<%once>"
        blocks during the syntax check, although $story and $element are
        not. All three are in the "<%once>" block during previews and
        publishes. This means that they can all be used in a "<%once>" block
        like this:

          <%once>;
          unless ($burner->get_mode == SYNTAX_MODE) {
              # Do stuff with $story or $element.
          }
          </%once>

        Reported by Serge Sozonoff. [David]

VERSION 1.6.13 "Tripled" (2004-04-10)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Deactivated groups no longer affect permission checking. Discovered
        thanks to a bug report from Serge Sozonoff. [David]

VERSION 1.6.12 "Tov" (2004-04-09)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Warnings are no longer fatal. This was only the case ouside of
        mod_perl, and so was probably quite rare, anyway. [David]

    *   Upgrades no longer cause an error during the execution of
        inst/db_grant.pl. Reported by Abdul Halim Mazahar. [David]

    *   Alerts once again properly check the attributes of the events that
        trigger them. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

VERSION 1.6.11 "Green" (2004-03-17)
  Bug Fixes
    *   A checkbox that is unchecked in an element no longer reverts to
        checked when clicking "Save and Stay". Reported by Scott Lanning.
        [David]

    *   Date parameters to the "list()" methods of the story, media, and
        template classes are now properly converted to UTC (and the database
        internal format) before being passed to the database. [David]

    *   Elminated some warnings. Reported by Christian Hauser. [David]

    *   Simplified error handling in the "Bric" base class and when running
        outside of "mod_perl". [David]

    *   Fixed issue with load order directives in Bricolage dynamic
        httpd.conf generation. This had caused the "PREVIEW_MASON" directive
        to not work in some cases. Incidentally, this change also allows
        dynamic configuration of mod_perl 1.26 and earlier. [David]

VERSION 1.6.10 "Jump" (2004-02-29)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Added missing index to the "workflow__id" column of the "story",
        "media", and "formatting" (template) tables. [David]

    *   Made index on the "desk__id" column of the "story", "media", and
        "formatting" (template) tables a partial index, since the column
        will usually be "NULL". [David]

    *   Added an index to the description column of the "story_instance",
        "media_instance", and "formatting" (template) tables to speed up
        simple searches. [David]

    *   Added missing foreign key constraints for the "desk_id" column of
        the "story", "media", and "formatting" (template) tables. [David]

    *   "make clone" no longer fails when it can't find httpd.conf, because
        it no longer looks for it. [David]

    *   "make clone" no longer assumes that the conf directory is in
        $BRICOLAGE_ROOT, and prompts the user to find out. [David]

    *   Bricolage once again works with Perl 5.6.x and Perl 5.8.1. [David]

    *   Made bric_republish and bric_dev_sync safe to use with "https://".
        [Geoff Richards]

    *   The user object is no longer instantiated from the database every
        time a user sends a request to Bricolage. It appears that this bit
        of overhead has unfortunately been imposed on every request since
        Bricolage 1.0 due to a very stupid typo. [David]

    *   The creation of the Bricolage PostgreSQL user and database during
        installation no longer complains about usernames or database names
        with dashes and other non-alphanumeric characters in them. Thanks to
        Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

    *   Fixed ancient bug revealed by the release of DBI 1.41. [David]

    *   Photoshop-generated images no longer make Bricolage choke when
        they're uploaded to a Media profile that autopopulates fields.
        Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

    *   The "lookup()" method of the story, media, and template classes will
        now correctly return inactive objects. [David]

    *   Fixed typo of "CHECK_FREQUENCY" in Bric::Config that made it always
        use the default of 1. [Scott]

    *   The "lookup()" method of the story, media, and template classes once
        again attempt to retrieve objects from the per-request cache before
        looking them up in the database. [David]

    *   Changed the name of the event logged when templates are checked out
        from "Template Checked Out Canceled" to the correct "Template
        Checked Out." [David]

VERSION 1.6.9 (2004-02-06)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed installation and upgrade scripts to use the same perl binary
        as was used to execute Makefile.PL. This ensures that all necessary
        CPAN modules will be correctly installed and located. [Simon Wilcox]

    *   Story profile JavaScript validation works again. Thanks to Simon
        Wilcox for the spot! [David]

    *   Eliminated the need for the Apache::ConfigFile module, and thus some
        annoying problems with the CPAN indexer when trying to install it.
        [David]

    *   Fixed order of SQL statement execution upon installation so that
        dependencies are properly handled. [Mark]

    *   New file resources created for distribution are now created with the
        proper media type. [Mark]

    *   The German localization module (Bric::Util::Language::de_de) had the
        wrong package name, which meant that attempts to use it failed with
        the error "Can't locate class method
        'Bric::Util::Language::de_de::new' via package
        'Bric::Util::Language::de_de'". [Dave Rolsky]

    *   Added new path to find PostgreSQL installed by some Debian packages.
        [Cinly Ooi]

    *   Workflows with special characters such as "+" and "&" now work
        properly in the side navigation. Thanks to Patrick Walsh for the
        spot! [David]

    *   Start desks can no longer be removed from workflows. This prevents
        workflows from having no desks, thus avoiding problems adding desks
        to such workflows. Reported by Patrick Walsh. [David]

    *   Pushing the cancel button in a desk profile and then in a workflow
        profile no longer redirects back to the desk profile. [David]

    *   Made publish_date not be empty when publish is done through the SOAP
        API and no publish_date argument is passed. [Scott]

    *   Fixed CPAN installer to correctly update the list of modules to be
        installed after a module has been successfully installed. Reported
        by Perrin Harkins. [David]

    *   Checkout checkboxes no longer appear for assets that users don't
        have permission to check out. Thanks to Alexander Ling for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Bric::Biz::AssetType::Parts::Data's "lookup()" method now returns
        deactivated objects, as it should. Thanks to Nuno Barreto for the
        spot. [David]

    *   Events with attributes with the same name as attributes of the
        object the event was triggered on (a common occurrence) no longer
        confuses the two. Thanks to Todd Tyree for the spot. [David]

    *   Users granted permission to access the members of a group via two
        user group associations now always get the highest priority
        permission, as it should be. Thanks to Patrick Walsh for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Textarea fields in elements no longer lose some of their default
        data after editing the field in the element manager. Reported by
        Todd Tyree. [David]

    *   Media assets now properly remember their class, which means that
        autopopulated fields (such as "height" and "width" for images) are
        autopopulated when a new image file is uploaded. Thanks to Patrick
        Walsh for the spot! [David]

    *   Updated Chinese Traditional localization. [Kang-min Liu]

VERSION 1.6.8 (2003-11-29)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Custom select fields now correctly pay attention to the size
        attribute. Reported by Dave Rolsky. [David]

    *   The element type manager now displays "Subelement" instead of
        "Story" for subelement element types. Suggested by Dave Rolsky.
        [David]

    *   Updated to work with PostgreSQL 7.4. [David]

    *   Improved error message in Bric::Util::Trans::SFTP. [David]

    *   It's possible to create new stories again without running into
        errors saying that a URI is not unique because the cover date and
        slug were accidentally excluded from the URI. [David]

    *   Mason story templates now inherit from all category templates, thus
        enabling the access of "<%attr>"s and calling of "<%method>"s in
        category templates from story templates. [David]

    *   Permission to edit element fields is now based on the permissions
        granted to edit the elements they belong to. This means that users
        other Global Admin group members can now edit fields. [David]

    *   Dates are no longer editable if a user doesn't have permission to
        edit them. [David]

    *   Users without EDIT access to an element no longer see a link to Edit
        fields of that element, but a link to View them, instead. They will
        also no longer see an "Add Subelements" button. [David]

    *   Fixed bug that triggered an invalid error message when a story URI
        is non-unique. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Assets with the same IDs but in different classes (media vs. stories
        vs. templates) no longer prevent each other from being added to a
        desk that can contain different classes of assets. Thanks to Scott
        for the spot and doing the research that lead to the replication of
        the problem. [David]

    *   The Log page no longer improperly redirects to the preview page
        after a preview. Reported by Simon Wilcox. [David]

VERSION 1.6.7 (2003-10-22)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed "bric_soap" to accept a "--server" argument starting with
        "https", which is more friendly to an SSI environment. [Geoff
        Richards]

    *   The PostgreSQL admin username and password arguments were reversed
        during "make upgrade". [Thorsten Biel]

    *   Fixed broken foreign key index on element table. [Dave Rolsky]

    *   Added partial index to speed queries against the job table, and thus
        to speed distribution. [Mark]

    *   Fixed upgrade module to properly grant the correct Bricolage
        database user permission to access new tables and sequences. [David]

    *   An upgrade script failure will *really* now cause "make upgrade" to
        halt installation so that any issues are immediately identified and
        correctable. [David]

    *   Updated slug RegExen. They were a bit too strict, and should be
        better now, allowing dots, dashes, and underscores. Spotted by
        Creighton Higgins. [David]

    *   The $name variable no longer shows up twice in the list of available
        content variables for alert types on media documents. Thanks to
        Scott for the spot! [David]

    *   Inactive alert types no longer trigger the sending of alerts. Thanks
        to Scott for the spot. [David]

    *   Added tests for validity of the POD in *.pod files as well as *.pm
        files. Fixed a few POD typos found as a result. [David]

    *   Fixed "element_data_id" parameter to
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile::Data to actually work.
        Reported by Eldar Kononov. [David]

VERSION 1.6.6 (2003-10-03)
  New Features
    *   Added README.Solaris, with thanks to Oscar Sodani and Thorsten Biel.

  Bug Fixes
    *   When an asset is published or deployed directly from the asset
        profile, it is now properly removed from the publish or deploy desk.
        Reported by Andy Baio's coworker. [David]

    *   The "desk_id" attribute of assets is now properly cleared when an
        asset is removed from workflow. [David]

    *   Fixed 1.6.5 upgrade script to look for Bric::Config in the proper
        location. [David]

    *   Templates now display their output channel associations instead of
        their element associations on desks. This seems to be more useful,
        since the element association is usually obvious from the name.
        [David]

    *   The category URI is now displayed for assets on desks, rather than
        the name. This is consistent with the display of the category
        elsewhere. [David]

    *   Elements to which no subelements can be added will no longer display
        an empty select list and "Add Element" button. [Geoff Richards]

    *   "Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story->get_secondary_categories()" will
        no longer return categories deleted from the story. Thanks to Scott
        for the spot. [David]

    *   Removed some unnecessary JavaScript validation. [David]

    *   Bug fix when deploying to multiple output channels. If the output
        channel IDs matched each other partly, it could cause a file to be
        removed after it just had been uploaded. [Arthur/Fotango]

    *   Users with CREATE access to a start desk can once again create
        stories on that desk even when they don't have CREATE access to "All
        Stories." Reported by Simon Wilcox. [David]

    *   Each upgrade script is now run within the confines of a single
        database transaction. If any database changes within an upgrade
        script encounter an error, all of the changes in that script will be
        rolled back. Suggested by Arthur. [David]

    *   An upgrade script failure will now cause "make upgrade" to halt
        installation so that any issues are immediately identified and
        correctable. [David]

    *   An invalid date in a date element field no longer causes an error.
        Thanks to Arthur for the spot! [David]

    *   With "(STORY_URI_WITH_FILENAME" enabled and when there is no defined
        file extension Bricolage now doesn't insert an ending '.' (dot).
        [Arthur/Fotango]

    *   Slight fix to virtual FTP server to handle bad FTP clients that try
        and use directories as files. [Arthur]

VERSION 1.6.5 (2003-09-10)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Previewing stories with related media that have no associated file
        no longer causes an error. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Switched to using "DBI->connect_cached()" from using our own
        database connection caching. This change does bump up the minimum
        required version of DBI to 1.18, though the latest version is always
        recommended. It's also the right thing to do. Thanks to Perrin
        Harkins for the suggestion. [David]

    *   Fixed issue that could cause Bric::Util::DBI to create inconsistent
        transaction states. Spotted by Rudy Lippan. [David]

    *   Removed passing of DEBUG argument to "prepare()", "prepare_c()" and
        "prepare_ca()", since it hasn't actually worked in some time, and
        could potentially change the behavior of the prepare. [David]

    *   Bric::SOAP::Workflow no longer throws an error when its
        "publish_date" parameter is undefined. Reported by Kevin Elliott.
        [David]

    *   Passing an undef via the "workflow__id" parameters to the "list()"
        method of Story, Media, or Template really does again cause
        Bricolage to correctly return only those assets that are not in
        workflow. It wasn't as fixed in 1.6.3 as I had thought. Reported by
        Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Vastly improved the speed of the query that lists events, and added
        an index to help it along, as well. [Mark]

    *   The list of categories associated with a story is now presented in
        alphabetical order by URI in the story profile. Suggested by Geoff
        Richards. [David]

    *   The FTP mover now properly deletes files rather than erroring out.
        [Clive Jones]

    *   Fixed installer to use PostgreSQL 7.1 syntax to update statistics.
        [David]

    *   Now setting $PGDATESTYLE environment variable so that PostgreSQL
        isn't confused about the date style Bricolage is using. Suggested by
        Chris Riddoch. [David]

    *   Users without EDIT access to the start desk in a workflow can no
        longer create assets in that workflow. Nor can they check out assets
        from the library, as there's no start desk for them to check them in
        to. But they can still check them out from other desks that they
        have EDIT access to. Reported by Rachel Murray. [David]

    *   Time zone issues have been fixed to be more portable. Some platforms
        that experienced Bricolage unexpectedly shifting cover dates and
        other dates and times by several hours should no longer see this
        problem. [David]

    *   Non-existent methods no longer throw "permission denied" exceptions,
        but the standard Perl "Can't locate object method" exception. This
        is to eliminate confusion with permission to access Bricolage
        objects. [David]

    *   Adding a new element type with the same name as an existing or
        deleted element type no longer causes an SQL error. Thanks to Gary
        Gilchrist for the spot. [David]

VERSION 1.6.4 (2003-08-12)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Preview works again. [David]

VERSION 1.6.3 (2003-08-12)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Document and contributor type field information (label, options) is
        no longer pushed through Locale::Maketext, thus preventing errors
        when element and contributor type administrators create field
        options with brackets in them. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Documents associated with categories that have been deleted will
        once again work properly. Even though a category may be deactivated,
        any documents previously put into that category should still work,
        and still treat the category as a working category. And so they do.
        Thanks to Kevin Elliott for the spot! [David]

    *   Renamed events for adding fields to elements and contributor types.
        They were mentioning "attributes," and now they mention "fields,"
        instead. [David]

    *   Updated Bric::Admin (INSTALL) to instruct users encountering
        installation problems to first check the list archives and post to
        the mailing list before filing a bug. [Cinly Ooi]

    *   Permissions granted on the "All" groups work again. Reported by
        Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Resize now works in super bulk edit. Thanks to Michael G. Kaiser for
        the spot. [David]

    *   Documented that the "list_ids()" methods in Bric::Biz::Asset's
        subclasses ignore the "Order" and "OrderDiretion" parameters and
        return an unordered list of IDs. Reported by Clive Jones. [David]

    *   The "Add Element" select list in story, media profiles now lists the
        fields that can be added in the order specified in the element
        profile, and then the subelements that can be added, instead of
        mixing up fields and subelements in alphabetical order. Thanks to
        Joo Pedro for the spot! [David]

    *   When a template is deployed, Bricolage now checks to see if its file
        name has changed since it was last deployed, and if it has, it
        deletes the old file. Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Optimized performance of Bric::Dist::Resource queries and wrote lots
        of tests for them. [David]

    *   When a story or media document is published, Bricolage now looks to
        see if any files distributed for previous versions of the document
        are no longer associated with the document, and expires them if they
        are. It does so on a per-output channel basis, so note that if
        output channel settings have changed since the document was last
        published, the expiration may miss some stale files. The same goes
        for when destinations are changed. But this should cover the vast
        majority of cases.

    *   Fixed error looking up alert types in the database, which affected
        the alert type manager on some platforms. Reported by Radu Greab.
        [David]

    *   Deactivated alert types are once again available via the UI. [David]

    *   Text input fields no longer impose a default maximum field length.
        This is so that element fields that have their maximum length set to
        0 can truly be unlimited in length. Reported by Kevin Elliott.
        [David]

    *   Template output channel associations no longer trigger an error when
        importing templates via the SOAP interface. [Clive Jones]

    *   Passing an undef via the "workflow__id" parameters to the "list()"
        method of Story, Media, or Template once again causes Bricolage to
        correctly return only those assets that are not in workflow.
        Reported by Kevin Elliott. [David]

    *   Extra blank lines between subelement tags in super bulk edit no
        longer causes an error. Thanks to Kevin Elliott for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Searches no longer return unexpected results or all objects when
        pagination is enabled. Thanks to Kevin Elliott for the spot! [David]

    *   The searches for documents by beginning and ending cover dates were
        not inclusive of the end date. Now they are! Reported by Kevin
        Elliott. [David]

    *   Fixed spelling of "contributor" in the description of the
        contributor type class in the database. Noticed by Radu Greab.
        [David]

VERSION 1.6.2 (2003-07-28)
  New Features
    *   German localization started. [Gerfried Fuchs]

    *   New help pages for the destination, server, and action profiles.
        [Geoff Richards]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed a bug in Bric::SOAP::Media which was causing all media files
        uploaded with that module to be placed in
        "comp/data/media/$version/" rather than
        "comp/data/media/$id/$version/". [Mark]

    *   Fixed SQL bug that might in rare situations cause element output
        channel associations to become confused. [David]

    *   Fixed issue where new output channels added to a document type
        element were not always actually saved as a part of that element.
        [David]

    *   Fixed side navigation spacer graphic to the same width as other such
        graphics. Helps Chinese Traditional to display more nicely.
        [Kang-min Liu]

    *   The media simple search now searches by URI again. [Mark]

    *   Now HTML-escaping the contents of the context content displayed for
        subelements so as to prevent HTML in fields from messing up the
        display. [Mark]

    *   Fixed installer to again work with versions of PostgreSQL prior to
        7.3. Thanks to Marc Hawson for the spot. [David]

    *   Fix for 'Can't call method "out_method" on an undefined value'
        generated during a burn. [Mark]

    *   Many minor HTML corrections. [Gerfried Fuchs]

    *   Fix for SQL error when searching for media by file name. [David]

    *   Eliminated 'Can't locate object method "redirect" via package
        "HTML::Mason::Request"' error that caused Bricolage to actually
        display a generic error page, instead of its custom error page.
        [David]

    *   Alert types can once again be deleted from the alert type profile.
        [David]

    *   Users can now only add subelements to a story if they have at least
        READ permission to those subelements. Thanks to Mark for the spot.
        [David]

    *   If the installer notices that you're attempting to install Bricolage
        in a directory with an existing installation, it will suggest that
        you consider running "make upgrade", instead. Suggested by Bruce
        Albrecht. [David]

    *   The list manager now sorts version numbers as numbers rather than
        strings. [Joo Pedro]

    *   The media type profile again allows extensions to be added and
        removed. Reported by Tobias Kremer. [David]

    *   Added the "CHAR_SET" directive's value to Bricolage's Apache
        configuration via the httpd.conf directive "AddDefaultCharset".
        Might help with some Unicode issues. [David]

    *   Distribution error handling is better now, with errors passed back
        to the client and an error when bric_dist_mon attempts to connect to
        a server or URL that's not a Bricolage distribution server. [David]

    *   Eliminated installation error 'Failed to create database: parser:
        parse error at or near "template0"', which occurred with versions of
        PostgreSQL prior to 7.3. [Scott]

    *   Enabled the "PERL_LOADER" bricolage.conf configuration directive and
        gave it a default value that's actually useful. [David]

    *   Perl 5.8.0 or later is now strongly recommended for better Unicode
        support.

    *   Fixed deleting an Alert Type Rule. Also fixed Editing Alert Type
        Recipients. [Scott]

    *   Notes are once again saved with a document. Thanks to Scott for the
        spot! [David]

    *   Fixed an issue with FTP distribution where the incorrect FTP root
        was used an invalid path. [Clive Jones]

    *   The title and description of a story or media document are now
        properly reverted when the document is reverted to an earlier
        version. Thanks to Scott for the spot. [David]

    *   Pagination now works properly when searching for groups by type in
        the group manager. [Scott]

    *   Pagination now works properly when searching for elements by element
        type in the element manager and when searching for contributors by
        contributor type in the contributor manager. [David]

    *   Creating a new story that has a URI that conflicts with an existing
        story no longer creates an extra story. Reported by Clive Jones.
        [David]

    *   Changed "Cannot publish asset because there are no Destinations
        associated with its output channels" to instead include the name of
        the output channel missing Destination associations so that the user
        can tell which output channels need a Destination association.
        [Clive Jones]

    *   When an document's primary output channel has been changed to
        something other than that defined by its document type element,
        preview will now correctly use the document's primary output channel
        instead of the element's primary output channel. [David]

    *   Returning to a desk from editing an asset that was selected for
        editing from that desk no longer triggers an error. Thanks to Clive
        Jones for the spot! [David]

    *   An attempt to preview a story where its templates output no content
        no longer results in an error. Reported by Eldar Kononov. [David]

    *   Clicking "Cancel" in an element no longer saves the changes in that
        element before going up to the parent element. Thanks to Andrew Baio
        for the spot! [David]

    *   Changes made to the default values of fields in the contributor type
        profile are now properly saved. Reported by Scott. [David]

    *   Adding Extensions to a Bric::Util::MediaType object when creating it
        via that class' "new()" constructor works again. Reported by Clive
        Jones. [David]

    *   Added Localization support to widgets that were missing it. Added
        pt_pt localized images. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Documents are no longer distributed to deleted (deactivated)
        destinations. Reported by Mark. [David]

    *   Eliminated several error log authentication message such as "No
        cookie found." This tended only to confuse users when they were just
        starting to use Bricolage. I've left in a few error messages,
        however, so that system administrators can see in the log when it
        looks like someone is trying to hack into Bricolage. The remaining
        authentication error log messages are:

        *   Invalid username or password. Please try again.

        *   User does not exist or is disabled.

        *   Malformed cookie.

        *   Cookie hash mismatch from [IP address] (Hostname '[hostname]')
            for user '[username].'

    *   Elements added with the same name as an existing, active or inactive
        element no longer trigger an SQL error to be displayed. Thanks to
        Clive Jones for the spot! [David]

    *   Fixed issue where adding an output channel to a document type
        element removed that output channel from another document type
        element. Thanks to Clive Jones for the spot! [David]

    *   Adding a server to a new destination before saving the destination
        or adding an action no longer causes an SQL error. [David]

    *   "make clone" now properly clones bricolage.conf, "httpd.conf", and
        all of the contents of conf/. [David]

VERSION 1.6.1 (2003-06-12)
  New Features
    *   Added bric_xfer_grps and bric_xfer_users to contrib/bric_xfer. They
        use the Bric API to transfer users and groups between Bricolage
        Installations. [Scott]

    *   Added Traditional Chinese localization. [Kang-min Liu]

  Bug Fixes
    *   "make clone" now properly creates inst/Pg.sql instead of
        inst/bricolage.sql. It also once again properly resolves the
        circular dependency between the "usr" table and the "login_avail()"
        PostgreSQL function. [David]

    *   The FTP distributor now deletes existing copies of files before
        renaming a temporary file when connecting to Win32 servers. This is
        because the IIS FTP server doesn't seem to support renaming a file
        to the same name as an existing file. [David]

    *   Creating the database during "make install" no longer fails if
        someone is already connected to template1. [Scott]

    *   A preview link is no longer in the "Find Media," "Active Media,"
        desk, or "My Workspace" views for media that have no associated
        file. [David]

    *   "make upgrade" now uses the correct PostgreSQL root username and
        password, instead of the default "postgres" username and empty
        password. Thanks to Paul Cory for the spot! [David]

    *   Burn-time exceptions are once again properly displayed in the error
        page. [David]

    *   When the "STORY_URI_WITH_FILENAME" bricolage.conf directive is
        enabled, stories are now written to the proper file when previewed
        or published. Thanks to Kevin White for the spot! [David]

    *   Fix issue that came up with the release of Mason 1.20. Reported by
        Jeff Steele. [David]

    *   Fixed typo in Media Type manager that broke it. Reported by Lari
        Huttunen. [Scott]

    *   Fixed problem where an attempt to add new output channels to a new
        element before saving that element cause errors. Mainly noticeable
        when creating elements via SOAP. Thanks to Mark for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Various localization fixes. [Scott]

    *   Fixed event logging for element fields. [David]

    *   Media assets that are based on "Image", "Audio", and "Video" element
        types now properly show up on desks. Note that existing media assets
        missing from desks should be checked out via "Active Media" and
        moved to a new desk. [David]

    *   Documented the support for passing %ARGS to
        "$burner->display_element()" in templates. It was added to
        Bric::Util::Burner::Mason a while ago, but I forgot to document it!
        Thanks to Mike Slattery for the spot. [David]

    *   Added Crypt::SSLeay to the list of optional modules to be installed.
        This module is required for SOAP communications over SSL. So if you
        use SSL and you use the SOAP server, you'll want to install it.
        [David]

    *   Fixed alerts so that alerts are once again sent to the members of
        groups. Reported by Paul Cory. [David]

    *   Deleted alert types are no longer displayed in the Alert Type
        Manager. Thanks to Paul Cory for the spot! [David]

    *   Added more intelligent code using HTTP headers instead of HTML to
        prevent browsers [IE] from caching pages. [David]

    *   Bricolage no correctly sets the HTTP headers for the content
        language and character set. Thanks to Nathan Ollerenshaw for the
        spot! [David]

    *   "make clone" now changes the user and group ownership on the cloned
        files to the values for the current user (root). This is to avoid
        problems when "tar"ing up those files. [David]

    *   Added code to Apache configuration to force JavaScript files to be
        served with the proper character set HTTP header. Those who use
        manual Apache configuration along with Bric::App::ApacheStartup will
        want to add the following configuration directive to your
        httpd.conf:

          <Location /media/js>
            ForceType => "application/x-javascript; charset=utf-8"
          </Location>

    *   The virtual FTP server no longer displays templates in subcategories
        of the current subcategory directory. Thanks to George Harrison for
        the spot! [David]

    *   Output channel associations in story type and media type elements
        can now be deleted again. Thanks to Arthur Bergman for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Added listing of emeritus developers. Otherwise Sam was simply
        listed as a patcher, which is hardly accurate. [David]

    *   The element profile no longer displays deleted fields after clicking
        the "Save and Stay" button. [David]

    *   The element profile now correctly issues a warning when a field is
        selected to be deleted. [David]

    *   Made unlocalized JavaScript message localized. [David]

VERSION 1.6.0 (2003-04-29)
  New Features
    *   Added the "STORY_URI_WITH_FILENAME" bricolage.conf directive, which,
        when enabled, allows story URIs to include the file name. This is
        especially useful in output channels where "Use Slug as File name"
        is enabled, since it allows stories to essentially have identical
        URIs except for the file name. Off by default. [David]

    *   Added bric_media_upload, a media file bulk import utility, into
        contrib. Thanks to Matt Vella for the contribution.

    *   New help pages for the event log and the workflow trail. Thanks to
        Geoff Richards for the contribution.

    *   Some unnecessary JavaScript was removed from the side navigation
        layer. Thanks to Eldar Kononov for the suggestion. [David]

    *   Added keyword support for media assets to SOAP interface. [David]

    *   Neatened the "Find Stories," "Active Stories," "Find Media," and
        "Active Media" screens and added the ability to preview stories and
        media by clicking their titles. [David]

    *   Added Field Profile, so that element Fields can be edited. This is a
        marked improvement over the old interface, which required that
        fields be deleted and recreated if users wanted to change them.
        [Scott]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Granting of permission to database objects during installation has
        been moved to its own make target. This is to allow it to be run by
        "make upgrade", too, thus ensuring that the Bricolage database user
        always has the appropriate permissions to access the database.
        [David]

    *   Assets can once again be removed from workflow. [David]

    *   The published version attribute is now set on templates when they're
        deployed. Thanks to Geoff Richards for the spot. [David]

    *   The bricolage.conf and httpd.conf files are now created during
        "make" rather than "make install" so that "make test" can take
        advantage of them. [David]

    *   Bric::App::Session and Bric::App::Cache no longer "chown" their
        files and directories during "make test". [David]

    *   Super Bulk Edit no longer joins lines together without a space, so
        that words should now be properly separated. [David]

    *   Deleting a story or media subelement no longer results in an error.
        [David]

    *   Help has been restored. [David]

    *   A value of "0" (zero) can now be given to element fields. This bug
        has been in Bricolage since the beginning! Thanks to Mark for the
        spot. [David]

    *   Stories with subelements containing no field elements no longer
        cause an error when the container profile is looking for contextual
        information to display about a a subelement. Thanks to Chris Jantzen
        for the spot. [David]

    *   Bulk editing a field without first going through the element profile
        and without adding or removing or reordering field elements now
        preserves the data. This is another bug that has been in the code
        since the beginning of time, and was only recently identified.
        Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed an obscure bug where an element with a field element and a
        container element with the same ID could cause an error when one
        tries to edit the container element and Bricolage tries to load the
        field element, instead. Embarrassingly discovered in the middle of a
        presentation to the London Perl M[ou]ngers. [David]

    *   Minor JavaScript fix for Opera users, thanks to Kevin White. [David]

    *   The "multi" installation method now defaults the "Bricolage Root
        Directory" setting to /usr/local/bricolage instead of "NONE". This
        seems to be less annoying to people. [David]

    *   The inst/upgrade/1.5.1/asset_desk.pl script, which is run by "make
        upgrade", now correctly checks to see if the upgrade has already
        been performed. [David]

    *   The inst/upgrade/1.5.1/webdav_mover.pl script, which is run by "make
        upgrade", now correctly checks for the existence of the correct
        record in the "class" table before inserting a new record. [David]

    *   During "make upgrade", the upgrade scripts are now run *before* the
        new APIs are installed, so that there are no conflicts when using
        the existing API to make changes. [David]

    *   Creation and installation of man pages can now be avoided during
        "make upgrade" as well as during "make". [David]

    *   Man pages will now be installed in the correct subdirectory of
        $BRICOLAGE_ROOT when using the "multi" install method. [David]

    *   Fixed issue where asset groups and desk groups were conflated in
        workflow objects, leading to errors on the permissions page. Thanks
        to Joo Pedro for the spot. [David]

    *   The URI of new stories is once again properly formed when the
        stories are created. [David]

    *   The list of events no longer displays attributes for events that
        have no attributes. [David]

    *   Attempting to add more keywords to the root category no longer
        results in the error "Cannot change the directory of the root
        category." [David]

    *   In lists of objects a cell with a value of "0" (zero) will now be
        displayed. [David]

    *   In "Find Templates," the list of templates in the search results
        will now be sorted by the file name, instead of not at all. [David]

    *   "make distclean" now properly deletes inst/Pg.sql. [David]

VERSION 1.5.2 (2003-04-02)
  New Features
    *   Out of the box, the Story Editors, Media Producers, and Template
        Developers groups now have READ permission to access members of the
        "All Categories" and "All Elements" groups, which allow them to
        actually create assets based on elements and within categories.
        [David]

    *   Workflow and Desk permissions are a little more sensible now. CREATE
        permission can be granted for the start desk in each workflow,
        instead of for the entire workflow. This allows a lower permission
        to be set on the workflow (e.g., READ), and then higher permissions
        on the individual desks in the workflow. [David]

    *   New "Tuning" sections have been added to Bric::DBA. [Mark]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The default required length for usernames and passwords has been
        changed from 6 to 5. This is to make dealing with the default
        "admin" login easier.

    *   It is once again possible to delete elements when they are not
        associated with any story or media asset. [David]

    *   The output channel profile once again only complains that the name
        of an output channel is already in use if it happens to be true.
        [David]

    *   Bric::Config now does its best to find a workable httpd.conf file
        during "make test". [David]

    *   Subclasses of Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media work again, and can
        have keywords associated with them, too. [David]

    *   The "Access Denied" message is back for when someone tries to access
        an object to which they don't have adequate permission. [David]

    *   Previews of assets that are not checked out work again. [David]

    *   Workflow and desk permissions relative to the assets they contain
        are now restored to their previous behavior. Desks no longer simply
        inherit the permission granted on any of the workflows they're in.
        This issue was resolved by creating a new secret asset group ID for
        each workflow. [David]

    *   The primary output channel is now always enabled by default in
        top-level elements. This is to make it much harder to create
        documents without output channel associations, an event that can
        lead to database exceptions. [David]

    *   The root category now lists itself as being in the "All Categories"
        group only once in the category profile. [David]

    *   Assets will no longer appear to randomly disappear from workflow.
        [David]

    *   Added constraints to the "media_type_member" group that were
        inadvertently left out of 1.5.1. [David]

    *   Permissions are now once again properly checked for assets in
        categories, workflows, and on desks. [Mark]

VERSION 1.5.1 (2003-03-23)
  New Features
    *   Lots of group-related optimizations. These should greatly improve
        the speed with which permissions are checked. [David]

    *   Improved testing support with lots more tests. Many more remain to
        be written. See the new testing documentation in Bric::Hacker for
        details. [David]

    *   Added ability to publish assets at a future time to
        Bric::SOAP::Workflow. Includes addition of new "--publish-date"
        option to bric_soap. [David]

    *   Added WebDAV mover. [Joo Pedro]

    *   FTP and File System movers now atomically copy files to their
        destination servers. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Added "All Desks" group for managing the permission to access all
        desks. [David]

    *   Refactored and optimized the code used in the "lookup()", "list()",
        "list_ids()", and, where pertinent, "href()" methods in the
        following classes:

        Bric::Biz::Asset
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting
        Bric::Biz::AssetType
        Bric::Biz::ATType
        Bric::Biz::Category
        Bric::Biz::Org
        Bric::Biz::Org::Person
        Bric::Biz::Org::Source
        Bric::Biz::OutputChannel
        Bric::Biz::OutputChannel::Element
        Bric::Biz::Person
        Bric::Biz::Person::User
        Bric::Biz::Workflow
        Bric::Biz::Workflow::Parts::Desk
        Bric::Dist::Job
        Bric::Dist::ServerType
        Bric::Util::AlertType
        Bric::Util::Event
        Bric::Util::Grp
        Bric::Util::MediaType
        Bric::Util::Pref

        This work will allow permission checking to be much faster for
        objects of these classes, as the relevant group IDs are now looked
        up for each object when the object is looked up, rather than by a
        separate select for each object, one-at-a-time. The changes also
        include support for a "grp_id" parameter to be passed to the
        "list()" method of these classes as a way of allowing a group to
        return a list of the objects in the group en masse, rather than
        one-at-a-time from the member objects of each group. Once similar
        optimizations have been made to the Bric::Biz::Assest classes, the
        necessary change will be made to Bric::Util::Grp to allow this
        functionality. [David and Mark]

    *   Added object caching to the base class, and calls to it from all
        classes with a "lookup()" method to take advantage of it. The
        caching is only for the duration of a request for now, but can be
        expanded later. [David]

    *   Updated INSTALL.MacOSX to reflect changes thanks to the new Mac OS X
        support included in libapreq 1.1. [David]

    *   Added "Super Bulk Edit", which is a bulk edit interface allowing
        users to edit all of the fields in an element at once using POD-like
        tags, rather than just a single repeatable field. [Garth]

    *   Added help topic for new "Super Bulk Edit" feature. [David]

    *   Localization and Internationalization support introduced, with a
        Portuguese library to complement the default English. Most message
        strings have been replaced with calls to the proper localization
        method. Still to be done are strings fetched from the database (e.g.
        events). [Cludio Valente]

    *   Localization of text images (buttons), Help, and JavaScript message
        added. These still need translation, however. [David]

    *   Added Italian translation. [Marco Ghezzi]

    *   Documented bric_dist_mon and bric_ftpd. [David]

    *   Optimized and added tests for Bric::Util::Priv's "get_acl()" and
        "get_acl_mtime()" methods. These should make the looking up of a
        user's access control list faster. [David]

    *   Added preview link to every element profile of a story profile.
        [Scott]

    *   Pared down number of default User groups by eliminating those that
        relate to only a single admin menu item. [David]

    *   Fixed code in Bric::Util::Grp where the "has_member()" method would
        fail to look up an object with an ID of 0. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Switched exceptions from home-grown to using Exception::Class.
        [Scott]

    *   The installer now offers a more meaningful message when it
        encounters an existing database and the user doesn't want to drop
        that existing database. [David]

    *   Added category group association, including ability to cascade
        membership assignments into subcategories, to category profile.
        [Joo Pedro]

    *   The installer will no longer try to load CPAN.pm if all modules are
        already installed. Thanks to Ilia Chipitsine for the prodding.
        [David]

    *   The "Content" section of story, media, and subelement profiles now
        attempts to display a bit of text from the first text field in each
        listed subelement so that it's easier to see at a glance which
        subelement is which. [Joo Pedro]

    *   Switched POD testing from Pod::Checker to Test::Pod (using
        Pod::Simple). Fixed the POD errors it found, too. [David]

    *   Test suite now runs all tests with warnings enabled. [David]

    *   Modified "Grp->get_objects()" to use use the "grp_id" parameter to
        "list()", now that support for that parameter has been added to all
        groupable classes. Also went through all existing code to make sure
        that it uses this approach, rather than constructing the relevant
        objects one-at-a-time from each Member object. This should provide a
        dramatic speedup in many operations.

    *   Bric::App::Session now has an "instance()" public class method to
        return the current %session hash. [Scott]

    *   Subelements can now nest. That is, they can contain themselves. Not
        in a story, of course, but in the document model (element
        administration). [David]

    *   Keywords can now be associated with media assets. [David]

    *   Templates now have a "published_version" attribute that properly
        reflects the version of a template that was last deployed. This
        matches what Story and Media have done since around version 1.3.2,
        and eliminates some warnings from the error log. The UI has also
        been updated to properly show the deploy status of templates.
        [David]

    *   The installer should now properly detect that the Apache
        "log_config" module is installed even when it's called "config_log".
        Thanks to Ilia Chipitsine for the spot and the diagnostics needed to
        solve the problem. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The publish attribute of desks can now be unset. Thanks to Sean
        Greathouse for the catch! [David]

    *   Fixed asset class date parameters to list(). The asset classes were
        neglecting to change the dates passed in to list() to database dates
        before querying the database. This lead to the wrong stories being
        returned for everyone not using UTC as their local time zone. Thanks
        to Bill Cappel for the spot! [David]

    *   Fixed bug where expired cookie resulted in a Bric::App::Session
        error. [Joo Pedro]

    *   A number of default groups where not properly added to the "All
        Groups" group. Now they are. [David]

    *   Bricolage now does more to determine the media type of uploaded
        media by using both the Apache media type determination and, failing
        that, a file name extension. Thanks to Todd Tyree for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Fixed the description of the root category in the permissions
        profile for user groups so that it properly displays its URI instead
        of its name. This only affects the display of the root category in
        the permissions profile for people who installed (rather than
        upgraded to) Bricolage 1.4.5 or later. [David]

    *   An attempt to create a template with the same name and output
        channel as a deactivated template now properly tells the user that
        the template already exists. [David]

    *   Fixed indexes for person objects so that they're case-insensitive.
        [David]

    *   Fixed problem creating new business assets with SOAP where Bricolage
        was trying to associate them with output channels twice, resulting
        in an SQL Error. [David]

    *   Fixed broken index on media type extensions. It was duplicating the
        index on the media type names. It has been changed to uniquely index
        the media type file name extensions. [David]

    *   "Bric::Biz::Category->get_children" now properly returns the
        children for the root category. Thanks to Sam for the spot! [David]

    *   Removed "Bric::Biz::AssetType->remove". It shouldn't be used
        anywhere, and might be responsible for the mysterious disappearance
        of elements in general. Thanks to Joo Pedro for the spot. [David]

    *   Assigned appropriate permissions to allow the default "Story
        Editors," "Media Producers," and "Template Developers" to access the
        default workflow and desks relevant to them. They hadn't had that
        access by default before. [David]

    *   Changed the plural name of the "Category Group" class from "Category
        Group" to "Category Groups". [David]

    *   Fixed bug introduced in 1.5.0 where stories where checked for
        duplicate URIs for output channels that they weren't actually in.
        Thanks to Bill Cappel for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed duplicate URI checking for media assets so that all output
        channels a media asset is in will be checked for duplicate URIs
        instead of just the primary URI. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where all sources were being deactivated from their groups
        every time they were saved. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where the SOAP server would throw an exception when it
        attempted to handle elements without subelements. Thanks to Sam
        Tregar for the report. [David]

    *   It is no longer possible to create a story type or media type
        element without a primary output channel. [David]

    *   Deleted output channels no longer show up in the list of output
        channels to associate with a destination. Thanks to Alex Epshteyn
        for the spot! [David]

    *   The installer now collects Apache configuration data from any
        "Include"d files, as well. Thanks to Alex Wheeler for the spot!
        [David]

    *   Media types now can be added to groups. This means that permissions
        can be set so that users can administer media types. Previously,
        only members of the "Global Admins" group could administer media
        types. [David]

VERSION 1.5.0 (2003-01-09)
  New Features
    *   Added unit testing framework based on Test::Class and executed by
        Test::Harness. Tests can be run after "make install" by running
        "make test" or "make devtest". The former runs tests that access
        database data but execute no "INSERT", "UPDATE", or "DELETE"
        commands. The latter runs tests that can make changes to the
        database, and are intended to be a full testing of Bricolage's API.
        Both make targets can be executed in verbose mode by passing
        "TEST_VERBOSE=1" to the make command. From now on, all tests will be
        expected to pass before changes are committed to the repository.
        [David]

    *   Added Makefile.PL. This is mainly a dummy script designed to mimic
        the usual way in which Perl modules are installed. It doesn't
        actually create a Makefile, but processes the existing one, setting
        it up to use whatever Perl was used to execute Makefile.PL itself.
        The advantage to this is that the Perl that executes Makefile.PL
        will be used throughout Bricolage. [David]

    *   Migrated tests in lib/Bric/Util/Grp.pl to
        t/lib/Bric/Util/Grp/Test.pm and t/lib/Bric/Util/Grp/DevTest.pm.
        [David]

    *   Added t/Bric/Test/PodTest.pm, which uses Pod::Checker to examine the
        POD in all the Bricolage modules, scripts, and test modules and
        report errors. Currently, all the errors are "TODO" tests, which
        means that, technically, they'll pass. But as soon as all existing
        POD errors are cleaned out, errors will turn into test failures.
        This will help us to keep all of our POD valid. These tests run as a
        part of "make devtest". [David]

    *   Removed all old-style test scripts. Their contents have been copied
        into new unit testing classes. These classes each execute a single
        test, and the old testing contents are at the end of the file, after
        the "__END__" symbol. Thus we'll be able to use the old tests to
        write the new tests. [David]

    *   Added documentation on merging CVS branches to Bric::Hacker. [David]

    *   Removed the URI Format and URI Case preferences and put them into
        Output Channel objects, instead. They are now output
        channel-specific. [David]

    *   URI format and URI case settings now properly format the URIs of
        media objects, too. [David]

    *   The slug can now be used in the Fixed URI Format. [David]

    *   The slug can now be used for story file names. The option is
        supported on an output channel basis, and will only work for stories
        that have a slug. [David]

    *   Added a "and Shelve" option to the "Check In" select list in the
        button bar on story, media, and asset pages. When this option is
        selected, the asset is checked in and then removed from workflow
        without publishing. [David]

    *   Removed the "Checkin/Publish" and "Checkin/Deploy" buttons in asset
        profiles and replaced them with new "and Publish" or "and Deploy"
        options in the "Check In" select list in the button bar. Doing this
        collects all the usual Check In actions in one place and saves us
        screen real estate! [David]

    *   Changed the way the "Checkin and Publish" and "Checkin and Deploy"
        callbacks work to use existing code in the desk and publish widgets
        to do the dirty work. This greatly reduces code duplication. [David]

    *   Created a new class, Bric::Biz::OutputChannel::Element, which is a
        subclass of Bric::Biz::OutputChannel. This new class better manages
        the mapping of output channels to elements than the old approach
        did. It also adds a new property, "enabled", which will be put to
        use shortly. [David]

    *   Replaced all the custom handling of output channel objects in
        Bric::Biz::AssetType with a new Bric::Util::Coll subclass that does
        it all. This is a lot more efficient in terms of programmer time
        (and probably performance, too). [David]

    *   Modified Bric::Biz::Asset::Business to manage the association
        between business assets and output channels by making use of the
        Bric::Util::Coll::OutputChannel class. It also automatically adds
        all of the "enabled" output channels of the element object as
        initial output channel associations for new business assets. [David]

    *   Added a new property to templates: template types. This property can
        have one of three value that correspond to different template types:
        "Element Templates" (those associated with elements); Category
        Templates" (autohandlers in Mason parlance, category templates to
        HTML::Template users, and until now "generic templates" in the UI);
        and "Utility Templates" (those not associated with anything, but can
        be used as includes). [David]

    *   Templates are now guaranteed to have unique file name/output channel
        combinations at the API and database levels. [David]

    *   For stories on My Workspace, replaced "Trail" with "Clone". Clicking
        this link will make an exact copy of the story with the words "Clone
        of " prepended to the story title. [David]

    *   Got rid of the popup window. Now when the toolbar-less window isn't
        the current window, the browser will be redirected to a a Welcome
        page where users can click a link to open the new window with the
        Bricolage UI. [David]

    *   Improved the interface for the association of output channels in
        Element Profile. It now uses a list of output channels rather than a
        double list, and a radio button to select the primary output
        channel. Also, each associated output channel can be marked as
        "Enabled" or not, indicating whether a new asset based on the
        element will by default be associated with that output channel for
        publishing. [David]

    *   On a related note, Stories and Media can now select which output
        channels to be published to on a per-story basis as well as which is
        the primary output channel, and the selection sticks with each
        version of a an asset. The list of available output channels comes
        from the output channels associated with the element on which the
        story or media asset is based. [David]

    *   Bric::Util::Burner objects have a new property, "mode". This
        property contains an integer value indicating whether a burner
        object is currently publishing, previewing, or checking syntax. The
        value maps to the conveniently-named constants "PUBLISH_MODE",
        "PREVIEW_MODE", and "SYNTAX_MODE". [David]

    *   The documentation in the Bric::Util::Burner class has been updated
        and improved. [David]

    *   Arguments can now be passed to the "display_pages()",
        "display_element()", and "chain_next()" methods of the $burner
        object in Mason templates. These arguments are passed to the
        templates that are executed just as they are if you'd called
        "$m->comp", meaning that you can access their values via the %ARGS
        global and in "<%args>" blocks in Mason templates. [David]

    *   Changed the "display_pages()" method of Bric::Util::Burner::Mason so
        that its first argument can be an anonymous array of the names of
        different paginated elements, and then all of those different
        paginated elements will be burned in order. This allows a story to
        have more than one type of paginated element. [David]

    *   Added the methods "prev_page_file()", "prev_page_uri()",
        "next_page_file()", and "next_page_uri()" to Bric::Util::Burner.
        These methods return the strings representing the file names or URIs
        of the previous and next pages of a story, relative to the page that
        is currently being burned and, in the case of the "*_uri()" methods,
        appropriate to the currently-burning Output Channel. Also updated
        the Bric::Templates and Bric::AdvTemplates documents to reflect
        these additions. [David]

    *   Added "source__id" to list of criteria by which stories can be
        searched via the Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story "list()" and
        "list_ids()" methods. [David]

    *   The Bricolage CSS document is now a static file served by Apache
        rather than a Mason component processed by mod_perl. This allows the
        style sheet to be cached by the browser so that it doesn't have to
        request it for every page in Bricolage. It also cuts down on
        processing time, since it doesn't have to be managed dynamically as
        a Mason component anymore. Also, all font sizes are now specified in
        pixels instead of points, in order to maximize the consistency of
        cross-browser font rendering. [David]

    *   Added a new style for the template profile, so that template code is
        now displayed in its textarea box in a monospaced font. [David]

    *   The main Bricolage JavaScript library has had several other
        JavaScript libraries rolled into it, and is now a static file served
        by Apache rather than a Mason component processed by mod_perl. This
        allows the JS to be cached by the browser so that it doesn't have to
        request it for every page in Bricolage. It also cuts down on
        processing time, since it doesn't have to be managed dynamically as
        a Mason component anymore. [David]

    *   Added bricolage.conf directive "ALLOW_WORKFLOW_TRANSFER" to allow
        assets on shared desks to be able to be transferred across workflows
        via that shared desk. [David]

    *   Changed Bric::Util::Burner to set "publish_status" after publishing,
        rather than before. Thus it is only set if the publish is
        successful, while at the same time templates can check
        "publish_status" to determine if a story is being published for the
        first time. [David]

    *   Added "get_more_pages()" method to Bric::Util::Burner::Mason. It
        returns true if more pages remain to be burned, and false if not.
        However it's only enumerated when "display_pages()" is being used to
        output pages. [David]

    *   Optimized Bric::Biz::Category to get a list of Group IDs for each
        category as it is selected from the database. This prevents the
        "get_grp_ids()" method from having to query the database, which was
        happening for every category object for which permissions are
        checked. [Mark & David]

    *   Added event logging for keywords. [David]

    *   Changed the code in Bric::Util::Burner::Mason to allow for new Mason
        burners to be constructed and used to publish stories from within
        templates. This is useful for generating tables of contents and
        such. [David]

    *   Added support for the association between business assets and output
        channels to the SOAP interface. [David]

    *   Removed IO::String dependence. [Scott]

    *   Added a FAQ. [Scott]

    *   Added a preference for naming the Bricolage instance. [Scott]

    *   Added search by Category URI to Find Stories. Although one could use
        the search by URI feature for this before, it didn't allow for
        search by secondary categories. Now stories can be searched for in
        both primary and secondary categories. [David]

    *   Added the methods "page_file()" and "page_uri()" to
        Bric::Util::Burner. When passed a page number argument, these
        methods return the strings representing the file names or URIs of
        the given page in the currently-burning story and, in the case of
        the "page_uri()" method, appropriate to the currently-burning Output
        Channel. These methods are best used in burners that don't burn one
        page at a time, such as Burner::Template. [David]

    *   Ported to HTML::Mason versions 1.15 and higher. [Scott]

    *   Added "make uninstall" support to installation system. [Scott]

    *   Added "page_filepath()" method to Bric::Util::Burner. This method
        allows burner subclasses to get the name of a file to write to the
        file system without needing to figure out the file name themselves.
        [David]

    *   Optimized behavior of collections (internal API). Now when an object
        is deleted from a collection (for example, when a member is deleted
        from a group), all the existing objects in the collection won't
        first be looked up in the database. The upshot is that certain parts
        of Bricolage that rely on collections, such as desks, should be more
        responsive. [David]

VERSION 1.4.6 (2003-01-06)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Bric::SAOP::Handler now properly logs fatal errors that are strings
        rather than exceptions. [David]

    *   Updated Bric::DBA documentation to better reflect PostgreSQL
        standards. [Neil Conway]

    *   Minor documentation correction in Bric::Util::Grp::Parts::Member.
        [Mark]

    *   Fixed bug in SOAP interface where container subelements added to a
        story or media asset were logged as if the story type element or
        media type element was added instead of the appropriate subelement.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug in publish code that was attempting to use the Apache
        request object as a media asset. Thanks to John Greene for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where an empty or non-numeric <size> element in an
        imported media object would cause an SQL error. [Sam]

    *   The bric_apachectl, bric_clean_tmp, bric_dist_mon, and bric_ftpd
        scripts are now smarter about loading Bricolage libraries and
        reporting relevant errors when they can't load Bricolage libraries.
        Thanks to Geoff Richards for the patch. [David]

    *   Category permissions are now properly checked on assets when they're
        not in workflow as well as when they are in workflow. This means
        that if a group of users is granted permission to access stories in
        a category, they can now access those stories even if they're not in
        workflow. [David]

    *   The search interface for locating media and story assets to relate
        to a story now checks the permissions of the assets found and only
        displays the assets for which the user has at least READ permission.
        Thanks to Sean Greathouse for the spot. [David]

    *   Reverting a media asset now properly reverts the media file itself,
        as well. [David]

    *   The "Last" field is now properly highlighted as the default order
        field when displaying a list of contributors in the Contributor
        Manager. [David]

    *   Contributor Association now includes search options and only
        currently-associated contributors are displayed before searching.
        [David]

    *   The ability to select different fields by which to sort a list of
        objects now works again. [David]

    *   The installer now checks to make sure that mod_perl is statically
        compiled into Apache, since weird things tend to happen when
        Bricolage uses a DSO mod_perl. [David]

    *   Fixed reordering code for subelements. The select list for
        subelements should now always have an appropriate value. [David]

    *   The URI is now properly updated in media assets when some part of
        the URI is changed in the UI. Thanks to Sean Greathouse for the
        spot. [David]

    *   The Add More widget no longer throws an exception when "Add More" is
        clicked and only one field currently exists. This had affected
        Keywords entry in stories. Thanks to Sam for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where a user could create two assets with the same URI as
        long as they were both checked out by that user. Thanks to Shannon
        Brown for the spot! [David]

    *   Date fields can now be unset. That is, if each of the select fields
        is set to its label, rather than a value, it'll stay that way. This
        was first noticed with the "Expire Date" in stories. Thanks to
        Philip Fibiger for the spot. [David]

    *   Modified installation "CREATE DATABASE" command to always create the
        database with the encoding set to UTF-8 (UNICODE). [David]

    *   Added instructions for installing readline library to README.MacOSX.
        [David]

    *   Fixed some inaccurate image sizes. [Geoff Richards]

    *   Added missing "uri" parameter to the possible search options in
        "Bric::SOAP::Category->list_ids". [David]

VERSION 1.4.5 (2002-11-13)
  Changes
    *   Categories are now displayed by their URIs instead of their names
        wherever possible. [David]

    *   Added "Order" and "OrderDirection" parameters to
        "Bric::Util::Grp->list" in order to be able to specify a different
        column and sort order for getting a list of groups. [David]

    *   Improved error handling by the SOAP server. Full errors will now be
        printed to the Apache error log, error messages sent back to the
        client are properly escaped, and all database transactions for a
        single request will be rolled back in the event of an error. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed error message generated from Bric::SOAP::Template->update() to
        properly display the category name, rather than "ARRAY(0x9cf43bc)".
        [Sam]

    *   The Bricolage SOAP interface will no longer allow the creation of
        stories and media with duplicate URIs. [Sam]

    *   Fixed circular dependency issues when Bricolage modules are used in
        the "PERL_LOADER" bricolage.conf directive. [David]

    *   Added the root category to the "All Categories" group. It should
        have been in that group all along. [David]

    *   Documentation for "Bric::Biz::Workflow->list" has been improved, and
        the method used for finding workflows and desks to put imported
        assets on in Bric::SOAP has been simplified. [David]

    *   Added printing of a message regarding the filenames being processed
        by bric_soap's "create" and "update" commands when its "--verbose"
        option is set. [David]

    *   Setting a story's cover date to a date that causes one of its URIs
        to conflict with an existing story's URIs no longer causes an error.
        Thanks to Sam for the spot! [David]

    *   Display of the source was missing from the view Story and Media
        profiles, but no longer. [David]

    *   The correct source is now displayed in the Story and Media edit
        profiles. [David]

    *   An attempt to install Bricolage to use an existing PostgreSQL user
        no longer causes an installation error when you decline drop the
        user. [David]

    *   The burner no longer fails when it publishes an asset that's not on
        a desk. [David]

    *   SOAP now does the proper thing when deleting assets, removing them
        from desks and workflow only if they're on desks and in workflow.
        [David]

    *   Added support for the missing "publish_status" parameter to
        "Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media->list". [David]

    *   Setting permissions on the assets in a category works again. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where exporting a story via SOAP containing a date field
        would output the formatted date rather than the expected ISO 8601
        format. Systems with a modified date format pref would then refuse
        to accept the story on import, producing an "Unable to unpack date"
        error. [Sam]

    *   Stories, media, and templates created but not saved no longer
        disappear into the void. They are instead moved into workflow, put
        on a desk, and saved as soon as they were created. [David]

    *   Permissions are now properly checked for category and workflow
        settings when new stories, media, and template assets are created.
        [David]

    *   New templates are now active by default. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where the "Checkin/Publish" (and "Checkin/Deploy") button
        wasn't provided to users who had EDIT access to a the assets on a
        desk. Permissions are now properly checked and the button displayed
        for those who can publish from a desk. [David]

    *   Added missing debugging statement to Bric::Util::DBI. Thanks to Mark
        for the spot. [David]

    *   The SOAP interface now properly logs events for its activities.
        [David]

    *   Previewing a story while searching for a related story to link to an
        element no longer replaces the Bricolage UI with the preview, as was
        happening with some browsers. Instead, a separate preview window is
        opened. [David]

    *   When publishing a media asset, its name will not be properly added
        to the UI message, without causing an error. [Petar Bojkov]

    *   Fixed exception class name in Handler.pm. [Scott]

    *   Fixed installation system bug caused by inst/conf.pl loading
        Bric::Config during "make install". Thanks to Louis Moore for the
        report. [Sam]

    *   Added missing "list_ids()" method to Bric::Biz::Category. [David]

VERSION 1.4.4 (2002-10-27)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Empty listManager lists no longer have a gap in them. [David]

    *   Made the table around the formBuilder radio buttons prettier.
        [David]

    *   Fixed numbering of sections in Media profile so that the numbers
        don't skip. [David]

    *   Updated display of existing contributors in the "Edit Contributors"
        screen of the story and media asset profiles to use listManager.
        This makes them look like they do everywhere else (and uses less
        code, to boot!). [David]

    *   Improved error messages thrown in exceptions in
        Bric::Util::Trans::FTP. [David]

    *   Removed code and documentation for PostgreSQL 7.3 compatibility.
        With the release of 7.3b2, it's no longer needed. [David]

    *   Fixed "make clone" to properly include database contents in clone
        distribution. [Sam]

    *   Added "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type">" tag to the "<head>" to
        header.mc so that the browser knows to send text back to Bricolage
        in the expected character set. [Mark]

    *   Changed the default character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. With
        this setting, Bricolage does no character set translation, so it's
        faster. Furthermore, most users *should* be outputting UTF-8 in
        their templates, anyway. If you're not, then you're likely finding
        doing charset translation in all of your templates to be a big PITA.
        And if you're not doing charset translation, then you really *are*
        outputting UTF-8 in your templates, and just haven't realized it.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug when reverting stories and media with no associated
        contributors. [Mark]

    *   "Check In and Publish" now works again for Media assets. Thanks to
        Matt Vella for the spot. [David]

    *   Deleting assets on My Workspace now prompts the user to make sure
        s/he really wants to do that. Not sure how we missed this all this
        time! Thanks to Andrew Baio for the spot. [David]

    *   Assets on Desks and My Workspace that are checked out to the the
        user whose viewing them will now always preview the version as
        currently edited by the user, rather than the last checked-in
        version. Other users still can only preview the last checked-in
        version. [David]

    *   Clicking the "Check In" or "Check In/Deploy" buttons in a template
        profile now properly updates the template with any new data entered
        into the template profile before attempting a syntax check. This
        ensures that the latest data you've entered gets its syntax checked
        before the template is checked in or deployed. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug in Bric::Util::Class where classes couldn't be looked up
        by package name. This affected the "Access Denied" page. [David]

    *   Made Bric::Util::Burner::Mason a little smarter handling exceptions.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where Bric::SOAP::Category would fail to import ad
        strings. [David]

    *   Fixed bug in "Bric::Util::Grp->has_member" where an already-added
        member wasn't always found. [Mark]

    *   Conflicting URI messages for media assets no longer suggest changing
        the value of the slug, since media assets have no slug. [David]

    *   The friendly messages confirming publishes are back. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where selecting a large number of list options in the
        story profile would cause an SQL error. [Matt]

    *   Fixed bug where Bric::SOAP would accept story element types for
        media and vice versa. Thanks to Evan Prodromou for the spot. [Sam]

    *   Added code to installation scripts to delete existing Mason object
        files when upgrading. This hasn't been a problem thus far, but this
        step will help to ensure that users are always running the latest UI
        components. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where deactivated element types weren't checked before
        creating a new element type with the same name as a deactivated
        element type. Thanks to Geoff Richards for the spot. [David]

VERSION 1.4.3 (2002-09-28)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed inconsistency between container element methods and their
        convenience accessors in Bric::Biz::Asset::Business. Thanks to
        Philip Fibiger for the spot. [David]

    *   Assets can once again be recalled from the library and put on a
        desk. [David]

    *   The "get_all_keywords()" method of Bric::Biz::Asset::Business works
        again. [David]

VERSION 1.4.2 (2002-09-27)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Can once again check out multiple assets at once. Thanks to Andrew
        Baio for the spot. [David]

    *   Templates once again behave themselves. There were some
        circumstances where they couldn't be checked in, generating "Cannot
        checkin non checked out versions" errors. These have been fixed.
        [David]

    *   Some assets on My Workspace were getting "Cannot checkin non checked
        out versions" errors when they were checked in using the "Check in
        to" select list. This has been fixed. [David]

    *   When templates are deployed, they now get a "Template removed from
        Workflow" event logged. [David]

    *   Using the "Check in to" select list on My Workspace to check assets
        into the desk they're already on will no longer remove them from all
        desks altogether. [David]

VERSION 1.4.1 (2002-09-25)
  Bug Fixes
    *   Upgrading from from a version prior to 1.3.3 no longer tries to
        create an index that already exists (and that will be dropped,
        anyway). [David]

    *   Removed documentation for installing mod_proxy with Apache. [David]

    *   Improved documentation for upgrading from older versions of
        Bricolage that were not installed by "make install". Thanks to
        Andrew Baio for helping to identify the problems. [David]

    *   Added "use Bric::Util::Grp::Keyword;" back into Bric::Biz::Keyword.
        This prevents some upgraded Bricolage installations from breaking.
        [David]

    *   Added Net::FTPServer and Net::SFTP to the list of optional modules.
        [David]

    *   Fixed some SQL errors uncovered by the release of PostgreSQL 7.3b1.
        [David]

    *   Added code and documentation for compatibility with PostgreSQL 7.3.
        [David]

    *   Media assets can now be distributed to more than one output channel
        at a time. [David]

    *   Files are now distributed on a per-output channel basis, to ensure
        that the proper file is distributed to the proper destinations.
        [David]

    *   Assets are now properly removed from workflow when they're
        deactivated (deleted in the UI). [David]

    *   Template syntax is now properly checked when using the
        "Checkin/Deploy" button. [Joo Pedro]

    *   The example generic template (autohandler) included in the database
        is now included in the burn root, too, since it's marked as
        "Deployed" in the database. [David]

    *   Deleted output channels no longer show up in the "New Template"
        output channel select list. Thanks to Daniel Fisher for the spot.
        [David]

    *   The root category ("/") no longer returns itself as its own parent.
        [David]

    *   Assets not in workflow are now properly logged as being checked out
        when someone checks them out. [David]

    *   The "Or Pick a Type" menus in the Group manager, the Contributor
        manager, and the Element manager all work again. [David]

    *   Changing category names now updates the name of the category asset
        group object, which appears in the user group permissions page.
        [David]

    *   Hitting the "enter" key after filling in a search field now properly
        submits the search as if the "Search" button had been clicked.
        [David]

    *   Changed libapreq requirement in Bric::Admin to read "Apache::Request
        1.0". This should make the installer install the most recent version
        of libapreq, instead of relying on whatever the OS provides. [David]

    *   Changed value of autopopulated media asset data fields to an empty
        string when the value returned by the autopopulation method is
        "undef". [David]

    *   Fixed bug where autopopulated media asset data fields weren't
        properly autopopulated. [David]

    *   Fixed problem with category upgrade script failing on category data
        created with 1.3.2. [Sam]

    *   During installation, entering a directory name when prompted for the
        "PID File Location" now results in Bricolage using a file called
        "httpd.pid" in that directory, rather than trying (and failing) to
        use the directory itself as the PID file. [David]

    *   The side navigation layer is now better aware of its context, and
        changes the colors of some of its graphics depending on the context.
        Also recreated the "WORKFLOW" tab graphics. It looks like this has
        been broken for over a year, and I only just noticed it! [David]

    *   Slightly improved handling of assets that have forgotten where they
        are. [David]

    *   Checked-out templates are now displayed only once (instead of twice)
        in the "Find Templates" manager. [David]

    *   Added "get_new_objs()" method to Bric::Util::Coll so that
        Bric::Util::Grp's "has_member()" method can see a member even if it
        hasn't been saved to the database. Also changed Bric::Util::Grp to
        check for members in this way, of course. [David]

    *   Assets retrieved from the library now appear on the desk they're
        checked out into only once (instead of twice). This thanks to the
        above-noted changes to Bric::Util::Grp. [David]

    *   Added upgrade script inst/upgrade/1.4.1/clean_desks.pl to clean up
        existing duplicate listings of assets on desks. [David]

    *   Removed the "checkin()" method from Bric::Biz::Asset::Formatting and
        Bric::Biz::Asset::Business and put it into Bric::Biz::Asset,
        instead, since it's exactly the same for all assets. [David]

    *   Fixed the display of permissions settings to be more consistent with
        the design and layout of the rest of the application. Also neatened
        listManager display a bit. [David]

    *   Fixed misnamed database constraint. [David]

    *   Templates can once again be retrieved from the library and checked
        out for revising. [David]

    *   Assets on a desk now no longer have the current desk listed in the
        "Move to" select list. Even if they did, selecting the current desk
        would no longer remove an asset from workflow! Thanks to Andrew Baio
        for the spot. [David]

    *   The installer is now much more intelligent about prompting for SSL
        information. It won't ask if you want to use SSL if it can't find
        mod_ssl or apache_ssl, and will only prompt you to pick one or the
        other if it can find both. [David]

VERSION 1.4.0 (2002-09-02)
  New Features
    *   Fetching objects from Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media has been
        optimized for greater speed. [Joo Pedro]

    *   PostgreSQL "NOTICE" messages are now suppressed during installation.
        Instead, a series of dots will be displayed to indicate progress
        loading the database. [David]

    *   Added README.MacOSX. [David]

    *   You can now pass a date format string argument to the "get_data()"
        method of container elements in templates (and elsewhere, for that
        matter). This is useful if the data you're retrieving is of the
        "date" type, and you don't want the date to be formatted in the
        format specified in the "Date Format" preference. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   The Element Type manager now displays properly again without errors.
        [David]

    *   Assets are now properly removed from desks when they are published
        or moved from one desk to another. More generally, any time a single
        object is removed from a group, it will be properly removed. [David]

    *   Media profile now display the proper category in the Category select
        list. [David]

    *   Media assets with no associated media file now generate a message
        indicating that no file will be distributed, and are properly
        removed from workflow when published. [David]

    *   Some media asset events weren't getting logged properly Now they
        are. [David]

    *   Database transactions are now properly maintained when publishing
        assets. Everything was working, but DBI "AutoCommit" was getting
        turned on, and this likely slowed some things down a bit. [David]

    *   Assets can once again be found via the "Find" pages and recalled
        into a workflow without error. [David]

    *   Module man pages are now properly installed under Perl 5.8.0. Thanks
        to Michael Schwern for helping to diagnose the problem and come up
        with a solution. [David]

    *   The select list of desks to transfer an asset to on My Workspace now
        includes all possible desks, including the one for which there is a
        link. [Joo Pedro]

    *   All Bricolage .pod files are now installed and converted to "man"
        pages along with all of the .pm files. [David]

    *   Corrected a bunch of spelling errors in this file. [David]

    *   Calling "get_data()" on a container element in templates (or
        elsewhere, for that matter) now properly ignores container
        subelements. Likewise for "get_container()", which how properly
        ignores data subelements. [David]

    *   All of the .pl and .tst files in lib/ no longer clutter up the
        distribution created by "make dist". [David]

    *   Much of the POD documentation in the API classes has been cleaned
        up, and converting them to man pages no longer generates any error
        messages. [David]

    *   The install process will now find Apache modules in
        /usr/lib/apache/modules, which is where they are in OpenBSD. Thanks
        to Mark Johnson for his help tracking this one down. [Sam]

    *   The install process will no longer install an incompatible version
        of HTML::Mason (>1.09). [Sam]

    *   The bric_dist_mon program works again. [David]

VERSION 1.3.3 (2002-08-24)
  New Features
    *   Revised Bric::Biz::Keyword implementation to improve performance.
        The new implementation no longer relies on the Bric::Util::Grp
        system. Also implemented API and database support for Media
        keywords. [Sam]

    *   Added support for search Media by category and file name through the
        SOAP interface and standard API. [Sam]

    *   Added new "--save-cookie-file" and "--use-cookie-file" options to
        bric_soap to allow authentication to span bric_soap calls. This can
        result in significant time savings across multiple invocations.
        [Matt]

    *   Added new "--chunks" option to the bric_soap tool to avoid problems
        with timeouts on large workloads. Currently only supports the
        workflow commands ("publish", "deploy", "checkin", "checkout",
        "move"), but it will be expanded to other long-running commands in
        the future. [Sam]

    *   Improved performance of search paging. ListManager now only builds
        the output rows that will actually be shown on the screen. For large
        data sets this results in a huge gain in search speed. [Adam and
        Sam]

    *   Revised category implementation to use explicit "uri" and
        "parent_id" fields rather than relying on the Bric::Util::Grp
        system. This improves performance tremendously for larger numbers of
        categories. [Jeff Pinyan]

    *   Added new "--continue-on-errors" option to bric_soap to prevent
        non-fatal errors from ending the process. [Sam]

    *   Beautified the list paging interface. [David]

    *   Added new Media Type manager. [Scott]

    *   Added list reverse feature. [Scott]

    *   Added SFTP mover. [Scott]

    *   Add support for Apache-SSL. This required a change to the context of
        the bricolage.conf "ENABLE_SSL" directive to indicate the type of
        SSL support: none, apache_ssl, or mod_ssl. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Added support for manual httpd configuration. Split out dynamic
        configuration from ApacheConfig.pm and move to a new module,
        ApacheStartup.pm, that sets no Apache configuration directives.
        ApacheConfig.pm calls this module. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Added bricolage.conf configuration directive to force the start up
        process to always write out a $TEMP_DIR/bricolage/bric_httpd.conf as
        an httpd.conf include file. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Moved SSL key and certificate configuration from global httpd.conf
        settings to per virtual host via bricolage.conf configuration
        directives. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Added a "bricolage.conf" directive to force the user to always use
        SSL. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Added "get_data()" method to
        Bric::Util::Grp::Parts::Member::Contrib. This method takes a simpler
        scalar argument and returns the relevant attribute. This bit of
        syntactic sugar makes contributor objects behave a bit more like
        $element objects in templates, thus simplifying things for template
        developers. [David]

    *   Categories now default to sorting by URI, and the URI is the
        searchable field, rather than name. [David]

    *   Vastly improved the speed at which categories can be imported via
        SOAP. [David]

    *   Makefile now confirms location of Apache and PostgreSQL to allow for
        systems with multiple versions of each available. [Sam]

    *   Added "make clone" command to the installation system to create
        distributions based on existing Bricolage systems. [Sam]

    *   Added bricolage.conf directive to enable/disable the browser toolbar
        for debugging and development. Documented in Bric::Hacker. [Michael
        Robinton]

    *   Added support for running Bricolage with SSL support on arbitrary
        ports. Previous versions required https support to use only port 80
        for http and port 443 for https. With this release, Bricolage fully
        supports http and https service on any ports. This allows the Apache
        daemon supporting Bricolage to be run with a minimum number of
        children while still allowing normal http and https service on the
        standard ports with a light-weight Apache daemon. See the INSTALL
        file (or Bric::Admin) for full details and an example installation
        procedure. [Michael Robinton]

    *   Added new bric_apachectl command "single". This command will start
        Bricolage in single-process mode. This mode is principally useful
        for debugging. [Michael Robinton]

    *   The size of the database column that stores custom field options
        (such as for select lists) has been changed to the TEXT PostgreSQL
        type, so that the number of options isn't arbitrarily limited. [Matt
        Vella]

    *   The group API has been approximately 75% rewritten. The goal was to
        optimize its performance, since group activity proved to be a
        serious bottleneck to Bricolage performance. Those interested in the
        nitty-gritty details of the rewrite can read about them here:
        <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=967943&forum
        _id=561>.

  Bug Fixes
    *   Added constraint to the group table to keep a group from having
        itself as a parent. Thanks to Joo Pedro Gonalves for the patch.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug in side navigation where an HTML table was opened but not
        closed. [Charles Albrecht]

    *   Fixed bug where installation system would chown all of the chosen
        TEMP_DIR to SYS_USER. Thanks to Dave Rolsky for the report. [Sam]

    *   Fixed a bug in the installation system that was creating empty
        comp/comp and data/data directories BRICOLAGE_ROOT. Thanks to
        Michael for the spot. [Sam]

    *   Fixed remote previews to redirect to a better URL. [Mark]

    *   Fixed a bug where trying to create a story through the SOAP
        interface containing a contributor with an empty middle name would
        fail. [Sam]

    *   Changed strftime instances of '%G' to '%Y' in URI preference, as
        this seems to be more portable. [David]

    *   Fixed bug that was preventing 'make upgrade' from running database
        upgrade scripts. [Sam]

    *   Fixed broken "Log" link on Media Search results screen. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug where deleted output channels were showing up in list of
        available output channels in the element profile. [David]

    *   Fixed conflict in list manager that prevented some lists from
        working properly. Probably never showed up before, as we only
        noticed it with the new Media Type manager. Thanks to Scott for the
        heads-up. [David]

    *   The "PREVIEW_MASON" configuration directive no longer is no longer
        defaulting to on in one context and off in another. It is now off by
        default. Thanks to Michael Slattery for the spot! [David]

    *   Eliminated the password field type from the formBuilder interface
        used for contributor types and elements. Its inclusion up to now may
        be considered a bug. [David]

    *   Fixed cover date editing to repopulate correctly on the Story
        profile screens. [Matt]

    *   Fixed bug where previewing a story assigned to multiple categories
        would preview to a random category. Now the primary category is
        always chosen. [Sam]

    *   Fixed display and editing of dates more than one year in the past.
        [Matt]

    *   Fixed bug where setting CHAR_SET to UTF-8 in bricolage.conf would
        result in blank output. [Sam]

    *   Changed Category manager to display no categories by default, only
        display them after a search. This is because some folks have a *lot*
        of categories. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where when "SYS_USER" and/or "SYS_GROUP" wasn't in
        bricolage.conf, Bric::Config would use the username "nobody" instead
        of the UID for the user "nobody". [David]

    *   Adding a note to a story that has not yet been saved no longer
        causes an error. [David]

    *   Fixed "make dist" to work on Mac OS/X and FreeBSD. [Sam]

    *   Fixed a problem in Bric::Util::Burner::Template where a newly added
        template wouldn't be picked up by <tmpl_include>. This was due to
        caching being turned on. HTML::Template's cache doesn't know that a
        new compilation would turn up a difference <tmpl_include> so it
        continues to use the old one. [Sam]

    *   Fixed installer to not require unneeded Apache modules (mod_proxy
        and mod_rewrite). [Sam]

    *   Fixed installer to first ask whether SSL support is desired before
        asking for a specific SSL module. [Sam]

    *   Fixed documentation bug in Bric::Admin concerning PostgreSQL paths.
        Thanks to Vicki Brown for the catch. [Sam]

    *   Fixed installation system to fail if there are errors importing the
        database. Also added test for missing or empty bricolage.sql. [Sam]

    *   Fixed installation system to support optional modules and not force
        users to install them. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug that prevented the contents of fields to be updated
        through Bric::SOAP. [Sam]

    *   Fixed "Checkin and Publish" button to only appear if the user has
        permissions to publish. [Matt]

    *   Fixed bug where text pasted into Bulk Edit textarea box was getting
        words smooshed together. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where date field elements weren't getting properly
        converted between the local time zone and UTC, which is the time
        zone of all the dates in the database. Thanks to Matt Vella for the
        spot. [David]

    *   Fixed issue where Bric::Util::Grp was adding every member of a group
        whenever a new member was added. This was very wasteful, and slowed
        performance a great deal for groups with thousands of members.
        Thanks to Mark for the spot. [David]

    *   Added check for Category "Directory" string to make sure that no
        non-URL characters are added. [Matt Vella]

    *   Clicking "Cancel" when editing keywords in a new story now properly
        returns to the story profile, rather than to the last screen before
        the story was created. [David]

    *   Deleting a a contributor immediately after adding one no longer
        causes all of the contributors to be deleted on check-in. [David]

    *   Contributors are now properly reverted when stories and media are
        reverted. [David]

VERSION 1.3.2 (2002-06-09)
  New Features
    *   Added --chunks option to bric_republish to publish stories in
        batches. This is useful to avoid timing out on long runs. [Sam]

    *   Added [Check In / Publish] button to Story Profile to checkin and
        publish in one step. [Matt]

    *   Added needs_publish() method and associated published_version
        database field to Bric::Biz::Asset. This method is now used by the
        publisher to determine if something needs republishing. Added new
        graphics to display this information on the desks. [Matt]

    *   Moved repeated publish and preview functionality into
        Bric::Util::Burner. Updated Mason code and Bric::SOAP::Workflow
        accordingly. [Matt]

    *   Added "DBI_PROFILE" bricolage.conf option and "bric_dbprof" script
        to allow profiling of Bricolage database performance. [Sam]

    *   Added "bric_apachectl debug" command to run Bricolage under the Perl
        debugger using Apache::DB. [Sam]

    *   Added checks to make sure Story and Media URIs are unique within the
        system. [Matt]

    *   Added search paging preference to break search results into multiple
        pages. [Adam]

    *   Added support for running Bricolage under Devel::Profiler with the
        new PROFILE configuration option. [Sam]

    *   Added support for Apache::SizeLimit to keep Apache process size
        under control. [Adam]

    *   Revised Bric::App::Cache to improve performance. The new system is a
        two-level cache with Cache:Mmap and Cache::Cache. This results in a
        2x speedup on some cache-sensitive operations. [Sam]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Clicking "Add More" when editing contributor contacts now retains
        any changes made to the contributor profile. This matches the
        functionality of the user profile. Thanks to Joo Pedro Gonalves
        for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::SOAP::Element where deleting an element or field
        could cause SQL errors due to overflowing the name field. [Sam]

    *   Removed Bric::SOAP::Element->delete(force => 1) which could cause
        data corruption in existing stories. Also removed dependent options
        in bric_dev_sync (--delete-existing) and bric_soap (--force). [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::SOAP::Element where updating an element could
        cause Stories using that element to lose track of their field data.
        [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::Util::Burner::Template where <tmpl_include>s
        caused syntax errors. [Sam]

    *   The Bric::Biz::Category class method get_attr() now returns
        attributes for category ID 0 as well as all other categories. [Joo
        Pedro Gonalves]

    *   Fixed bug in DBI_DEBUG and DBI_CALL_TRACE options where non-prepared
        queries (row_aref(), all_aref(), etc.) were not being logged. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::Dist::Resource that was causing publish to run
        very slowly by executing a bad database query. [Sam]

    *   Related to the last item, fixed a bug in Bric::Util::Coll that would
        call the href() method on a class and pass in undefined values as
        parameters. This will happen if a collection is created for a new
        object that does not yet have an ID. The fix thus prevents the "=
        NULL" SQL syntax, which always matches nothing. The new syntax for
        constructing a collection has been implemented across the API.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where the root category wasn't able to be added to a
        category group. Actually, this fixes a problem where any object with
        an id of 0 couldn't be added to a group. Thanks to Mark for the
        spot. [David]

    *   Changed mover list to be sorted in alphabetical order in the
        Destination profile. This has the benefit of forcing "FTP" to be
        listed before "File System" -- Hurray for case-sensitive ordering!
        Thanks to Sam for the complaint. [David]

    *   The OS for a destination server now defaults to the OS of the server
        on which Bricolage is installed instead of "Mac". Thanks to Sam for
        the spot. [David]

    *   Deleted destinations will now be dissociated from output channels
        when they're deleted. This prevents stories from being published to
        deleted destinations. Thanks to Mark for the heads-up. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where attribute metadata wasn't getting deleted when it
        was supposed to. [Joo Pedro Gonalves]

    *   Fixed bug where some browsers submit an image button with a value
        stored in the image button's name as well as in the name with ".x"
        and ".y" appended to it. This caused callbacks to be triggered twice
        for a single field! I noticed this with Mozilla on Mac OS X, and
        presume it would happen elsewhere, too. [David]

    *   Fixed bug in navigation bar HTML that caused the bar to disappear on
        certain browsers. [Rachel Murray]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::SOAP where Bricolage exceptions resulted in an
        uninformative "Application error" message. Now the full exception
        message is displayed. [Sam]

    *   Fixed installation to work under Debian Linux 3.0 (testing). Thanks
        to Mark Jaroski for a helpful patch. [Sam]

    *   Changed length of Bric::Dist::Job name attribute from 64 characters
        to 256. This allows long asset names to be used. Also added code to
        Bric::Dist::Job to ensure that the name property is truncated if
        it's longer than 256 characters. Thanks to Josh Cox for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where dumber browsers would submit a new template without
        any Element selected. Thanks to Michael Robinton for reporting the
        bug. [David]

    *   All stories and media are now required to be associated with a
        category. For stories, the primary category cannot be deleted. If
        you want to change the primary category, add a new category, change
        it to the primary, and then delete the old primary category. This
        fix prevents previews and publishes from breaking on stories and
        media that had no categories. Thanks to Mark for the heads-up.
        [David]

    *   An overhaul of the burn system had regressed the Output Channel
        preview functionality. I've put it back now. [Mark]

    *   Fixed button JavaScript to work correctly in Mozilla. [Matt]

    *   Fixed bug in HTML::Template burner that prevented <tmpl_include>s
        from working in some cases. [Sam]

    *   Numerous spelling errors were fixed by Scott Lanning. Thanks!

    *   In the Element manager, doing a search after selecting an Element
        Type from which to display elements no longer causes an error.
        Thanks to Adam Robinson for the spot. [David]

    *   Made the parent category field in the Category Profile a required
        field. [Mark]

    *   Fix Bric::Util::FTP::FileHandle to work with a modified
        date-formatting preference. [Matt]

    *   Fixed section numbering in the Contributor Type profile. [Scott
        Lanning]

VERSION 1.3.1 (2002-04-03)
  New Features
    *   Bricolage SOAP interface fully implemented. The command-line clients
        bric_soap, bric_dev_sync and bric_republish are all complete. [Sam]

    *   Bricolage now comes with a configure script and a Makefile for
        easier installation and configuration. [Mark Jaroski]

    *   Removed MD5 Perl module requirement by requiring Apache::Session
        1.54 or higher. [David]

    *   Added new FTP distribution move method. Now you can distribute files
        either via a file system copy or via FTP. [David]

    *   Added a preference to change the way URIs are formatted. [Adam]

    *   Added a URI case preference to force URIs to lowercase, uppercase,
        or allow mixed case URIs. [Adam]

    *   Categories are now all listed and sorted by URI in select lists.
        [Sam]

    *   The cache is now cleared when the Apache server is started or
        restarted. This avoids potential problems with stale data in the
        cache. [Sam]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed numerous cases where user_ids were being used as booleans.
        Since user_id 0 is the Administrator's user_id this can cause
        problems. [Sam]

    *   Fixed problem where deleting an asset would fail with the "cannot
        check-in non checked-out version" error. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in HTML::Template burner when an element name had more
        than one space in it. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in database that prevented element names over 32
        characters from working properly. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug where trying to preview a story without a Preview
        destination and PREVIEW_LOCAL off would result in a Mason error.
        [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in Bric::SOAP::Story->create() where data element order
        was getting lost. Thanks to Mike Slattery for the spot. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in HTML::Template burner where templates in non-root
        categories could not be found. Thanks to Marlon Bermas for the spot.
        [Sam]

    *   Fixed Bric::Util::FTP::FileHandle to create new revisions on PUT.
        [Sam]

    *   Deleting a contributor will no longer break stories with which the
        contributor is associated. Thanks to Rachel Murray for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Invalid configuration directives in bricolage.conf will now be
        caught and keep Bricolage from starting. [Sam]

    *   The view button in the element profile now works correctly. Thanks
        to Joo Pedro Gonalves for the spot. [David]

    *   Changed all strftime instances of '%G' to '%Y', as this seems to be
        more portable. [David]

    *   Checking in a template from a template profile now performs a syntax
        check of the template just as saving the template does. [Joo Pedro
        Gonalves]

    *   Notes attached to stories and media are now once again editable from
        the desk and profile views if they're checked out to the current
        user, and only viewable otherwise. Thanks to Tracey Largay for the
        spot. [David]

    *   Fixed a few poorly-named time zones in the time zone preference.
        More still needs to be done here, actually. [David]

    *   Implemented the chk_syntax() method in Bric::Util::Burner::Template.
        [Sam]

VERSION 1.3.0 (2002-02-10)
  New Features
    *   Bricolage SOAP interface partially implemented. Bric::SOAP::Story
        and Bric::SOAP::Media are fully implemented and tested. The
        command-line client - bric_soap - is complete. [Sam]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed numerous cases where user_ids were being used as booleans.
        Since user_id 0 is the Administrator's user_id this can cause
        problems. [Sam]

    *   Fixed problem where deleting an asset would fail with the "cannot
        check-in non checked-out version" error. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in HTML::Template burner when an element name had more
        than one space in it. [Sam]

    *   Fixed bug in database that prevented element names over 32
        characters from working properly. [Sam]

    *   All fixes in the soon-to-be-released 1.2.1 version. See below for
        details.

VERSION 1.2.3 (2002-03-17)
    Functionally equivalent to 1.2.2, but includes required files missing
    from the 1.2.2 distribution.

VERSION 1.2.2 (2002-03-15)
  New Features
    *   Added chk_syntax() methods to Bric::Util::Burner and its subclasses.
        This method will takes a template asset object and make sure that it
        compiles. Bric::Util::Burner::chk_syntax() delegates to the proper
        subclass.

  Bug Fixes
    *   Some misspellings were corrected in Bric::Admin. Thanks to Ask
        Bjoern Hansen for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed broken "Return" buttons on related media and related story
        pages. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where assets weren't activated when they were created and
        then checked in without clicking the "Save" button. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where a fixed story's slug was getting used in its URI.
        [David]

    *   Fixed broken image autopopulation fields (compression, height,
        width, etc.) [David]

    *   Fixed broken support for audio and video files. These can be set up
        by the Media Type menu in Element Types. Eventually these should
        arrange for some fields to be auto-populated (e.g., bit rate, frame
        size, length, encoding, etc.). [David]

    *   Fixed bug where Categories with the same directory name could not be
        created. Thanks to Andrew Baio for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where a user couldn't look at her own event log if she
        didn't have permission. Thank to Michael Alan Dorman for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where permissions set to access workflows and desks had
        no affect on the display of workflows and desks. Thanks to Rachel
        Murray for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where attempting to create a destination with the same
        name as an existing but deactivated destination triggered an SQL
        error. Thanks to Michael Alan Dorman for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where Workflows with spaces in their names would not
        create proper submenus in the left navigation bar. Thanks to the WHO
        for the spot [David]

    *   Fixed bug where the wrong story might be previewed when clicking the
        title of a story in My Workspace or on a desk. [David]

    *   Changing the category a media asset is in now correctly updates the
        underlying category object and the URI without the media asset
        needing to be checked in. [Matt Vella]

    *   Eliminated "Template compile failed" errors for templates with
        <%init> sections. [David]

    *   Field elements now show up with their display names in the bulk edit
        select lists, instead of with their names (which are really keys).
        [David]

    *   Eliminated "Use of uninitialized value in bitwise or (|)" warnings
        when checking permissions. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot.
        [David]

    *   Custom fields in elements and contributor types now remember their
        "size" setting. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

    *   The Element select list on the new Template profile no longer lists
        media elements, since media assets don't use templates. [David]

    *   Removed old XML::Writer stuff from Bric::Util::Burner, since I moved
        it to Bric::Util::Burner::Mason a while ago and it was causing some
        problems. Thanks to Michael Robinton for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed typo in Bric::Hacker spotted by Axel Beckert. [Sam]

    *   The CREATE permission works properly now. Thanks to Rachel Murray
        for the spot. [David]

VERSION 1.2.1 (2002-02-25)
  New Features
    *   Created new method of configuring Bricolage in Apache. For mod_perl
        1.26 and earlier, a custom config file will be written to the
        bricolage temp directory every time Bricolage is started or
        restarted. For mod_perl 1.27 and later, no temp file will be
        written. [David]

    *   Added support for Mozilla (and there was much rejoicing!). [David]

    *   Changed password for the default "admin" user to "change me now!"
        [David]

    *   The slug is stored in the database for both fixed and non-fixed
        stories. This is in anticipation of adding the ability to use the
        slug for fixed story URIs later on. Thanks to Darren Graves for the
        patch.

    *   Added DISABLE_NAV_LAYER directive. It's off by default, but if you
        turn it on in bricolage.conf, the side navigation layer will be
        rendered as plain HTML in every page instead of as a separate layer.
        [David]

    *   Documented PERL_LOADER directive in Bric::AdvTemplates. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Turned off the PREVIEW_MASON configuration directive in
        bricolage.conf. It should be off by default. [David]

    *   Deleted Output Channels now properly don't show up in the Output
        Channel manager again. Thanks to Sara for the spot! [David]

    *   All previews now preview assets in the primary Output Channel only.
        Previously, the previews were in the Output Channel whose name came
        first alphabetically. Thanks to Sara Wood for catching this bug.
        [David]

    *   Fixed bug where templates often couldn't be found by the Mason
        burner if the output channel had a post_path. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where templates often couldn't be found by the
        HTML::Template burner if the output channel had a post_path. [Sam]

    *   Fixed some problems with the sideNav menus under Netscape. [David]

    *   Fixed broken "Preview" button in Read-only story profile and in
        related story elements. [Matt Vella]

    *   Updated debugging code to accommodate new syntax in Cache::Cache.
        Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed problem with Element names containing non-alphanumeric
        characters. [Sam]

    *   Checking out media assets from "Find Media" now redirects you to the
        media profile if you've checked out one media asset, or My Workspace
        if you've checked out more than one. This puts it in line with how
        "Find Stories" and "Find Templates" work. Thanks to Sam for the
        report. [David]

    *   Fixed bulk edit functionality for Media assets. Thanks to Sam for
        the spot. [David]

    *   In Bric::Biz::Asset::Business, the source get_meth key in my_meths()
        now works properly. Also, get_all_keywords() now also returns the
        category keywords as well as the story keywords. Thanks to Darren
        Graves for the patch.

    *   Removed quotation marks from DEF_MEDIA_TYPE setting in
        bricolage.conf. Thanks to Darren Graves for the spot. [David]

    *   Sorting assets by ID in "Find X" and Workspace/Desk view now
        properly does a numeric sort rather than an alphanumeric sort.
        Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed an obscure bug where, for files uploaded as part of a Media
        file, Bricolage attempted to create a path on its own file system
        using path delimiters for another file system. Thanks to Mike
        Slattery for the spot. [David]

    *   Required content fields in stories and elements are now displayed in
        the order specified in the Element profile. Thanks to Sam Tregar for
        the spot. [David]

    *   All assets now start with the version number 0 until the first time
        they are checked in. Also, they will show up on desks and in the
        Find views after the first time they are saved. It was inconsistent
        before, and some items could not be seen in the desk and Find views
        until they were checked in. Thanks to Sam for spotting the
        inconsistency. [David]

    *   The bric_clean_tmp script has been changed to avoid deleting the
        Bricolage cache file. [Sam]

    *   Fixed typo that broke Bric::Dist::Client. [Mike Slattery]

    *   Fixed multiple select custom fields for Elements and Contributors.
        Thanks to Mike Slattery for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed ugly bug where deleting a "Media Type" Element would delete
        all the media objects of that type. Thanks to Sam for the spot
        (though not for the bug!). [David]

    *   Fixed bric_pgimport so that it uses DBI to drop and create the
        database, rather than relying on a hard-coded location for pgsql
        binaries. [David]

    *   Fixed permission granting in bric_pgimport so that the Bricolage
        database use has DELETE permissions on all objects in the Bricolage
        database. It looks like this permission was ignored in PostgreSQL
        7.1 and earlier, or problems would have shown up a long time ago!
        [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where the time a distribution job is scheduled was not
        properly converted to UTC for storage in the database. Thanks to
        Mike Slattery for the great code archaeology! [David]

    *   Fixed the spelling of "contributor" in several spots. [Andrew Baio]

    *   Fixed bug where changing a story's primary category left it with no
        primary category. [Matt Vella]

VERSION 1.2.0 (2002-01-10)
  New Features
    *   Added Context-sensitive, online help. [Sam]

    *   Added separate interface for editing templates (via FTP). [Sam]

    *   Added the ability to use HTML::Template Templates. [Sam]

    *   Added ability for different Output Channels to function as different
        component roots for in Mason templates. This will allow for
        templates that can't be found in the current Output Channel to be
        searched for in other Output Channels. [David]

    *   Added link to Event log to Find Story, Find Template, and Find Media
        screens. [David]

    *   Added true previewing for media assets. Now, when you click their
        URIs to preview them, they will be distributed to the preview
        server(s) before redirecting the user to them, rather than just
        serving them up from where they live on the Bricolage file system.
        The latter can still be accessed under "Download" in the Media Asset
        profile. This will continue to be the preferred way to grab media
        files for editing and such, as it will not incur the overhead of
        distributing the media file. [David]

    *   Allow only one template with a given name for a given category,
        element, burner and output channel. [Sam]

    *   Added a Maintainer section to the About page. [David]

    *   Updated About page to mimic the layout of the help pages. [David]

  Bug Fixes
    *   Fixed a bug with local previews where a preview page could show up
        instead of the Bricolage UI. Thanks to Sara for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where Mason component calls failed in previews when the
        PREVIEW_MASON directive was enabled. [David]

    *   Changed default value for text area fields added via the form
        builder (i.e., in Contributor Type and Element profiles) to 0. The
        values 0 and "" always make the the new field unlimited in length.
        [David]

    *   Fixed a couple of buttons to be proper case rather than upper case.
        [David]

    *   Separated the filesystem destinations for assets burned for
        publication and for assets burned for previewing. This will prevent
        someone previewing and stomping all over a published version of an
        asset before the published version is distributed. [David]

    *   Removed hard-coding of the local preview directory in httpd.conf and
        httpd-ssl.conf. Now using the values stored in PREVIEW_LOCAL,
        instead, to determine the proper directory. [David]

    *   Added the DEF_MEDIA_TYPE directive. Bricolage will use the value in
        this directive to assign a Media Type to all file resources if
        Bricolage can't figure it out from their file extensions. This fixes
        a bug where Bricolage would choke if it couldn't figure out the
        MediaType itself. [David]

VERSION 1.0.2 (2001-12-10)
  New Features
    *   Added "File Name" and "File Extension" properties to OutputChannels.
        These properties will now be used to name files burned to the file
        system on preview and publish. [David]

    *   Added DEFAULT_FILENAME and DEFAULT_FILE_EXT configuration directives
        to set default values on the "File Name" and "File Extension" Output
        Channel properties. [David]

    *   Changed Bric::Util::Burner->display_element() so that it doesn't
        paginate. All paginated pages are now treated instead as regular
        elements. This is useful for things like printer-friendly pages.
        Bric::Util::Burner->display_element() continues to work as before.
        Use this method to output a separate file for each paginated
        element. [David]

    *   When errors occur while previewing stories, the leftNav is now
        turned off. [David]

    *   Browser buttons and menus are now disabled. [David]

    *   Added ability to set permissions on assets based on the categories
        they're in. [David]

    *   Moved all session and session locking files into the "bricolage"
        subdirectory of the local file system's tmp directory. You'll want
        to rm -rf /tmp/bricolage_* upon upgrading. [David]

    *   Moved the location of cache files to the "bricolage/cache"
        subdirectory of the local file system's tmp directory. You'll want
        to rm -rf /tmp/FileCache upon upgrading. Together with the above
        change, this means that all Bricolage temporary files are stored in
        the "bricolage" subdirectory of the local tmp, e.g., /tmp/bricolage.
        [David]

    *   Added new program, bric_clean_tmp, that can be used in a cron job to
        delete stale temporary files. [Sam]

    *   Added an "About" page, linked from the logo graphic, that explains
        the name "Bricolage" and offers the license and credits. [David]

    *   Added PERL_LOADER configuration directive. Pass a line of Perl to
        this directive, and on startup, it'll execute it in the same
        namespace as your templates execute in. [David]

    *   Added INCLUDE_XML_WRITER and XML_WRITER_ARGS configuration
        parameters. If INCLUDE_XML_WRITER is turned on, then all templates
        will include a new global, $writer, that is an XML::Writer object.
        This object is provided as a convenience for creating XML in your
        templates. XML_WRITER_ARGS allows certain arguments to be passed to
        the XML::Writer. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where data fields deleted from Elements were deleting them
        from existing stories, too. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where stories with related media associated with them were
        displaying the story as an Element rather than as a story after
        editing the related media. [David]

    *   Removed all file system location dependencies for the operation of
        Bricolage. Bricolage will still assume that everything's in
        /usr/local/bricolage, but any location is fine as long as the
        BRICOLAGE_ROOT environment variable is set to the proper location.
        [David]

    *   Added code to force all preview pages to be re-requested from the
        server every time they're viewed. This prevents the browser from
        loading older versions from its cache, and allows users to always
        see the most recently-burned output of a story. [David]

    *   Removed debugging information from URLs for when debugging is turned
        off -- which should be always in production code (e.g., releases).
        [David]

    *   Elements are now displayed with their display names rather than
        their attribute names. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the spot. [David]

    *   Fixed bug where fields (attributes) added to an Element with the
        name of an existing but deactivated field triggered an error. Thanks
        to Sam for the heads-up. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where data fields sometimes were not properly retrieved
        from the database in Bric::Biz::AssetType. [David]

    *   Fixed a bug where clicking "Save and Stay" in the Element profile
        wouldn't delete attributes (fields) marked as such, or even delete
        the Element itself, if the "Delete this profile" checkbox was
        checked.

    *   Fixed a bug where, for Story and Media assets, editors were given
        Edit access to notes, even when they didn't have the asset checked
        out. [David]

    *   Changed the misleading and inaccurate "Two blank lines" label in the
        Bulk Edit interface to the more accurate "One blank line". Thanks to
        Sam Tregar for the heads-up.

VERSION 1.0.1 (2001-09-28)
    *   Initial public release.
