Release Notes
Pathos Content Management System
March 15th, 2004

v 0.91.0 *** 04-17-2004
 * New Features
   - Internationalization (i18n) engine
   - Through-the-web installation of modules and plugins
   - Better Error-Handling support
   - New Web-based installer
   - Better support for and use of Approval Policies
   - New Modules: Guestbook, Language Editor, Preview Link
 * Lots of bug fixes
   - Added explicit dropdown control to 'Configure Site' script
   - Added Language selection to 'Configure Site' script
   - Approval Policy dropdown now shows human-readable AP name, not classname
   - Moved standalone functions into Core class (to be used as namespace)
   - Fixed up the Logging Facilities code and inserted it back into the Core
   - Added new internationalization (i18n) engine, via the Lang class.
   - Added Error Classes and basic Error Handlers
   - Added SOFTWARE_NAME constant
   - Fixed some object hierarchy return chains to behave correctly (Content
       wasn't returning true upon successful delete, which was seriously
       screwing up Palette code)
   - Added File class for dealing with archives (originally implemented for
       use with through-the-web module installation)
   - Slowly phasing out useless accessor functions like getID and getName
   - Started to collect XML functions into XML namespace (I have yet to go
      through and re-align existing references, but new code should use the XML
      namespace class)
   - Fixed HTML Area so that any images are added with relative paths, and not
       absolute (if using the Pathos ImageManager)
   - Fixed incorrect time parsing for 12:00 pm and 12:00 am times (mostly
       applicable to News and Calendar)
   - Fixed renderMainContentPane so that the ImageManager is not shown for 
       sections that don't exist.  Eliminates potential of 'lost' images.
   - Added group profile style to all standard themes
   - Fixed strange repetition issues with group manager module
   - Contact Module: Title, sender and reply-to address of generated email can be
       configured on a per-module basis now.
   - Container Module : Added a "Unique to Section" Source option the 'Add Module'
      form, and made it the default option (replacing the explicit 'Name' option)
   - Image Gallery Module : Added more configuration options


v 0.90.0 *** 03-15-20004
 - First release of Pathos source code to the open source community.
 - There are bound to be a few small bugs in this release, so use it
 - at your own risk (although it is quite stable)
