v2.1.0.0002-15

v2.1.0.0025 - 2002-10-18 - stable

• Douglas E. Schiavon has contributed a Brazilian Portuguê³ translation.

• Added Genesis:Finish block to the template system (help topic)

• Changed algorithm for handling line-ending conversion. Fixes bug in which PDF files were being corrupted during upload (help topic)

v2.1.0.0024 - 2002-08-30 - stable

• Fixed minor bug in which "Error: ." would be printed twice when creating new accounts.

v2.1.0.0023 - 2002-08-29 - stable

• Petr Coupek has contributed a complete Czech translation.

• Updated stylesheet to include visual cues about which user-privilege mode is selected. Should help avoid confusion when administrators have selected a specific privilege scheme 1-4 with fixed privileges, but then still try to edit the Custom(0) privileges.

• Improved error-handling for those upgrading from older versions of Genesis where a relative URL like "/foo/" is used as the account Base URL. New versions of Genesis require a full URL.

• Improved error-reporting for validation warnings for old data within legacy user files. Should now be easier to isolate and fix problems.

• New variables %full_name% and %email_address% can now be used within the template.html template, ex: "Welcome back %full_name%"

• Fixed a few XHTML bugs.

• Fixed bug in which the "current folder" form was active after completing a template, instead of display-only. Users who submitted the "change current folder" form on the last page of the template creation would receive an odd template-parsing error.

• Fixed several bugs in the "Advanced 6 Page Site" template that ships with Genesis. Those who are upgrading from older versions of Genesis should overwrite the file "genesis/script_data/sample_sites/Advanced_6_Page_Site.template" with the updated version from this distribution.

• Added *.swf extension to default Known Types list (Flash movie).

v2.1.0.0022 - 2002-07-18 - stable

• Fixed bug in which the user "shell" value was being ignored ("when first logging in, show: Admin | Template | HTML Editor").

• Fixed default template.html file for better compatibility with Netscape 4.* (help topic)

• Removed per-user settings WaitEmailValidate and WaitEmailValidateCode, since they are not used.

• Added "Account Expiration" setting. Allows administrator to temporarily disable user accounts, or set them to expire X days after being created (help topic)

v2.1.0.0021 - 2002-07-15 - stable

• Added partial translations: Russian (63%) and Danish (83%)

• Variable %username% can now be used within the main template.html file.

• Templates stored in the "genesis/script_data/sample_sites" folder can now be organized into subfolders. Users can be granted access to only templates within certain subfolders. Previously, access to templates was all-or-nothing.

• The "HTML Editor" privilege has been broken up into many sub-privileges, like "allow mkdir", "allow chdir", "allow create file". This allows the webmaster to delegate very specific privileges to end users. Administrator can grant access to all editor features, no features, or a custom subset.

• Performance improved. Rarely-used subroutines have been delegated to library files which are conditionally included. This significantly improves start-up speed of the Genesis process. The folder "genesis/script_data/libs" stores these libraries.

• Now, when files or folders cannot be edited due to naming restrictions, they will not appear with checkboxes next to them for feeding into the Rename/Copy/Delete actions.

• Error message for exceeding the Genesis internal disk quota is now "error: unable to write to file '$s1' - Genesis disk quota exceeded". Previously used just "disk quota exceeded" which is identical to the low-level system error, which made it more difficult to trouble-shoot the source of the problem.

• Status message for file uploads of "uploaded in binary mode" or "uploaded in ascii/text mode" will now be suppressed for zero-byte files. It will just say "file uploaded".

• Fixed several XHTML and CSS bugs in the script and default templates. Now all pages should validate, except for wrap="virtual" in textareas, which was retained for compatibility with older browsers.

• Fixed bug in which the "Current Folder" dropdown was not alpha-sorting the available subfolders.

• Fixed several bugs when running in -T taint mode.

• Feature change: Genesis now returns an error if user attempts to set a password which is longer than 8 characters. Also, the system setting "Min Password Length" is now constrained to an integer in the 0 through 8 range.

  For upgrades from older versions, if Min Password Length was not in that range, a warning will be printed and the effective value will be loaded as 0. Any existing passwords will continue to work as normal; the restriction only arises when the user or the administrator try to update the password.

  This feature is required because Genesis uses crypt() which ignores everything after the first 8 characters. Previously, a user entering password "password123ABC!" would think he was entering a good password, but in reality he would be entering "password". Anyone who entered "password", or "password" followed by anything, would be able to login to his account. Thus the new Genesis behavior helps set user expectations correctly.

v2.1.0.0020 - 2002-06-27 - stable

• Improved error handling in cases where home folder exists but cannot be opened (chmod 711).

• Feature change: no longer forcing a logout when user changes his own password.

• Corrected misleading error messages that occur when no valid strings.txt files are present.

• Fixed bug in which the custom Disk Quota field would not be saved; always stayed at 10000 kilobytes.

• Fixed bug in which LastLogin fields were never updated.

• Fixed bug in which the "Delete" action link would not appear properly in some browsers.

• Updated DOCTYPE on all templates from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 1.0; correct several XHTML syntax errors.

• Now using <label> tag to extend checkbox and radio inputs, rather than Javascript. Extended inputs will now work in Netscape v6+, and will work on browsers with Javascript disabled.

v2.1.0.0019 - 2002-06-01 - stable

• Added "Add Web Files" action, which lets people import files from a remote HTTP server.

• Added "security modes" feature for better inter-operability with the various Perl CGI security schemes.

• Added Norwegian, Dutch, and partial Italian translation

• Updated Spanish and German translations

• Now allow special value "*" in "Known Types" and "CGI Types" to allow editing of files with any extension (help file)

• Now displaying times in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. Previously used a variety of formats in different places, with some string-based dates which are difficult to translate.

• Fixed very rare bug in which script would suffer fatal error if metacharacters were used in boundary layer of a multi-part file upload.

• Vastly improved script efficiency for very large file uploads.

• Fixed bugs which manifest when the Base URL was set to "/" or to a Windows UNC path like "\\server\share".

• Fixed bug in which all accounts created using the "new user sign-up" form would have an "AccountCreated" date equal to that of the _default account. Accounts which are currently affected by this bug will continue to be affected, but new accounts created will now have the correct date.

v2.1.0.0018 - not released

v2.1.0.0017 - 2001-11-09 - stable

• removed "Allow Folder Change" privilege - was causing too much confusion. The "webmaster" account is still the only account that can ever change the base folder on an account; didn't make sense to have that privilege on a per-user basis.

• Removed "use minimal header", "always warn before deleting", and "provide feedback with sounds" options from the My Account page.

• Added option to sort files/folders with all folders on top (on by default)

• Added German and Spanish interface languages, which are still experimental and only partially translated

• fixed odd bug in which Genesis 0016 returns "Internal Server Error" on Cobalt Raq4 and cgiwrap systems.

• fixed bug that appeared when home folder was a Windows UNC path of the form "\\server\share\path".

• fixed long-standing bug with sorting by file type

v2.1.0.0016 - 2001-10-01 - stable

• The _default account Edit Profile screen no longer shows Name, Email, and Password fields.

• Was incorrectly using 'script_name' instead of correct 'script_url' in two places. Was causing new user sign-ups to fail in some cases.

• Removed work-around for versions of Perl that don't support the crypt function. Genesis will now fail if that function is not supported.

• The demo script now sends email to new accounts holders; previously sent all email to a nickname.net address

• No longer shipping anti-CGI .htaccess in the default web_pages folder. That file is now shipped as htaccess.bak and administrators can turn it on at their option, but it won't be active by default. Its presence was causing too much user frustration.

I just wanted to let you know that I got everything worked out after I got off  the phone with you. Everything is running perfect. I thank you for  being so patient and helpful to me. This product really does mean alot  to me. I'll be sure to tell others about your excellent product and  support.
Thanks Again!
